Opening existing objects

You can open existing objects from the Open dialog box or directly from the System Tree.

StepsTo open existing objects:

  1. Click the Open button in the PowerBar or Select File>Open from the menu bar.

    NoteWhen using the System Tree You can open an existing object directly from the System Tree. Either double-click on the object name or select Edit from the pop-up menu.

  2. In the Open dialog box, select the object type from the Object Type drop-down list. Then select the target as well as the library or libraries you want to look in. Finally, select the object you want to open.

    Figure 3-12: Opening a User Object from the Open dialog box

    The sample shows the Open dialog box. At top are a drop down list for selecting the Target and a list of libraries of the selected target. Next is a list of Objects with Comments to the right of each object. It displays user objects. At bottom are a text box for Object Name, which is blank, and a drop down list box labeled Objects of Type, with User Objects selected. Another drop down list displays how you want to open the object. This drop down list displays Painter, which is also the default selection for how to open a user object.

    NoteDisplaying objects from many libraries To find an object more easily, you can select more than one library in the Libraries list. Use Ctrl+Click to select additional libraries and Shift+Click to select a range.

  3. Click OK.

    The object opens in the appropriate painter.

StepsTo modify the number of recent objects:

  1. Select Tools>System Options from the menu bar.
