With the Open command a new, existing document can be loaded.
The command opens a browser with two columns.
The left column shows a list of the last opened documents. From that list the selected document will be opened directly. The right column shows a list of last used folders from where documents have been loaded. Selecting a folder from this list will open a standard file browser at that folder location, to open any available document from that folder. But searching through other folders of course remains possible.
The
button opens also a standard file browser, but at the root C drive location. From there any accessible folder can be opened to open a document.
When opening the document is not successful, a failure message will appear. In case the software cannot find the underlying file(s) of the document, the File Manager will open for the user to decide how to continue.

The Open command allows not only to load FASTSUITE Edition 2 type of documents, but also any (CAD) document type that is supported by the software.

Besides the Open command to load a document, the software also supports the drag and drop method to load the document directly while dragging it from a file browser or desktop into the 3D View. But the effect of this method is slightly different though.
