Saving, Loading, and Deleting Items

You can save, load, and delete setups and preferences from directories. When you load setups that were created using a project whose resolution is different from the resolution of the current project, the setups are often scaled to conform to the resolution of the current project. In instances where the setup is not scaled automatically, a Scale Setup button appears in the Setup menu of the module. See Loading Garbage Mask Setups.

To save an item to a directory:

1. In the Setup menu of a module, click Save.

   The file browser appears in the upper part of the screen and the Save menu appears in the lower part. The file browser points to the default directory for the item type currently selected in the Save option box.

   
   

   (a) Save option box  (b) Save button  (c) Filename field  

2. Select the type of item you want to save, if there is a Save option box. (If there is no Save option box, you can only save one type of item, the setup file for the module.)
3. In the Filename field, enter a name for the item you are saving and press Enter. When resaving an item, simply click Save.

   The item is saved and you are returned to the previous menu.

   NoteIf the directory already contains an item with the same name, a warning message appears in the message bar, as well as a Confirm button. Click the Confirm button (or press Enter) to overwrite the file, or click elsewhere to cancel the command. To bypass the Confirm button when resaving items, press Alt+Enter.

To load an item from a directory:

1. In the Setup menu of a module, click Load.

2. Select the type of item you want to load, if there is a Load option box. (If there is no Load option box, you can only load one type of item, a setup file for the module.)

   The directory for the selected option appears.

3. If the setup you want to load is located in a different directory, use the file browser to change directories. To load a setup from a different project, select the project from the Project box.

   For information on using the file browser, see Navigating the Filesystem.
