The File Menu: Xic Input/Output

The File Menu contains commands for opening, listing, and saving files and cells. The printer interface for hard-copy plots is also found in this menu.

Some of the menu commands bring up more complicated panels which themselves may contain various command buttons and other objects. Most of these windows can be moved by pressing the left mouse button in the area outside of any buttons, or on a label object, and dragging the outline to the desired location. This applies to the error message and information windows that pop up under certain circumstances. These windows can also be deleted by double clicking with button 2 in the area outside of buttons or other objects.

The table below lists the commands found in the File Menu, along with the internal command name and function. The OpenAccess Libs button will appear only if the OpenAccess plug-in is loaded.
