ICON:
The Open command allows you to open a project, additional CAD graphic file or sub-project. You highlight the
item that you want to open and click on OK. This opens the project, additional CAD graphic file or sub-project
and closes the Open dialog box (below). If you highlight the project description and click on OK, the
appropriate CAD engine loads with the project CAD graphic file if the Launch CAD With Project toggle is on.
Use the Configure CAD Engine command, found in the Eagle Point Administrator program, to set this
toggle. Highlighting the CAD graphic file path and clicking on OK also loads the appropriate CAD engine with
the highlighted drawing/design file. If you opened a sub-project, the menu and tool bar are opened for the
correct product. For example, if you opened a RoadCalc™ sub-project, the RoadCalc™ menu and tool bar
are opened for you.
. You can open a project or sub-project by clicking on OK or by clicking on the preview image.
