Open Existing File

When the Open ... option from the File menu or the button on the Toolbar is selected, the following dialog will appear allowing a file to be selected.

Only X7L and X7U files are currently supported for loading. X7A and X8A files will be supported in later versions.

montage.factory checks to ensure that the selected file is a valid Montage format file, and an error dialog will appear if the file is not valid.

If a file selected for opening is already open, montage.factory will ask if you want to replace the file that is in memory.

If a file has its READ ONLY attribute set then all editing features are disabled. You can still copy data from the file using a drag copy operation or a Clipboard copy operation. The file is identified as [READ ONLY] in the window title.
