Working with Files

Creating a New Display (.rtv) File

To create a new display, click the New button on the toolbar (or Ctrl-N). This will open a new file with assigned default properties, including background and model width and height.

Opening a Display (.rtv) File

To open a display, click the Open button on the toolbar (or Ctrl-0). From the Open dialog, either double-click on a file name or enter the file name of a specific display (the .rtv extension is not required) and click Open. The last four displays you've opened will be listed in the File menu.

Note: If your Login doesn't allow you to view a particular display, the display will not open when you select or enter the file name in the Open dialog.

Saving a Display (.rtv) File

To save a display, click the Save button on the toolbar (or Ctrl-S). If the display file is new or if it does not have write permission, the Save dialog will appear. Type in a name for the display file and click Save. Display files are saved with the .rtv extension, which is added automatically if you do not enter it.

The following characters can be used in display file names:

•

ASCII alpha-numeric (a-z, 0-9)

•

. (dot)

•

- (dash)

•

_ (underbar)

•

(space)

To save a display file under a different name, select File>Save As and enter a file name. File names may include spaces, however they are not recommended.
