Open a Log Design File

Use the File | Open menu option in the Log Designer menu, or the Open-File toolbar button to open LogPlot8 (.ldfx8), log designs.

! If you wish to open designs from LogPlot7 (.ldfx) or earlier (.ldf), use the File | Import LogPlot7 Design Template menu option instead.

1. Access the Log Designer tab.
2. Select the File | Open menu option, or click the Open-File toolbar button . The program will display the Open Log Design dialog box.
3. Select the LDFX8 log design file that you wish to view by highlighting its name and choosing the Open button.
4. Once you have opened a design file, you may edit it and save the changes (Save option) or save the changes under a new file name (Save As option).

The design will be displayed in the LogDesigner program window.

Important Notes:

! The Log Designer opens files in the LogPlot 8 log design format (LDFX8)
! The Log Designer permits only one log design file to be displayed at a time.
! The design displayed in the Log Designer window is always considered to be the default LDFX8 file to be used in LogPlot for compiling your logs. The name of the active file is always displayed on the stick-up Design tab, and also in the Status Bar at the very bottom of the program window.
