import Documents created in other applications can be imported into the *KOMPAS-3D* format. The import process is similar to opening a file: first, select the file type, and then specify the file itself. |
If you try to open an already loaded document, KOMPAS-3D will not perform a repeated opening, but will simply activate the tab of this document in the current window or the KOMPAS-3D window with this document, if it is opened in a separate window.
|
If you try to open the document that is already loaded, using the alternative path (for example, if you try to open from network location the same file that is stored locally and is already loaded in the current working session), the message appears on the screen: The file is already being edited. |
If multiple files are selected to be opened, a message is displayed In the bottom right-hand corner of the graphic area. It displays the complete name of the document file you're currently opening and the loading indicator. The link Cancel in this message allows you to cancel the loading of the remaining documents in the group (i.e. those documents whose loading has not yet started).
