File Menu

Once the MCREW window is open, rotation files can be created from scratch and saved in the desired location, and/or other rotation files may be opened for editing. The "File" menu allows accetss to the file management functions for MCREW. It contains all of the options listed here, with the common functions ("New", "Open", and "Save") also being available on the button bar:

• New: Opens an empty, unnamed rotation file. (Ctrl + N)
• Open: Displays an "Open File" file chooser window from which the user can select the desired rotation file from those in the current Project. This is not accessible if the "Enable full MCREW editing functionality in WEPS" option is not enabled in the "Display" tab of the WEPS interface Configuration panel. (Ctrl + O)
• Open Copy of Template: Displays an "Open File" file chooser window from which the user can select the desired rotation file from the "Management Templates" directory. A copy of the selected file is then added to the current WEPS Project and made available for editing in MCREW. To edit a management file, the "Enable full MCREW editing functionality in WEPS" option must be enabled in the "Display" tab of the WEPS interface Configuration panel. If desired, the actual default location can be changed under the "Directories" tab in the WEPS interface Configuration panel as well. (Ctrl + T)
• Save: Saves the current Project’s rotation file being edited (in the current WEPS Project directory). The "saved" filename will become the selected management file in the main WEPS interface screen upon exit of MCREW. (Ctrl + S)
• Save As: Displays a "Save File..." dialog box from which the user can specify the desired filename with which to save the rotation file for the current Project (the default location is in the current WEPS Project directory). The "saved" filename will become the selected management file in the main WEPS interface screen upon exit of MCREW. (Ctrl + A)
• Save As Template: Displays a "Save File" dialog box from which the user can specify the desired filename with which to save a copy of the currently edited rotation file into the "Management Templates" directory. The original file is still the current file being edited within MCREW. (Ctrl + L)
• Print: Displays a print dialog box through which the MCREW table view can be printed. (Ctrl + P)
• Exit: Exits MCREW. If MCREW finds that the rotation file has been modified and not saved, it will display a popup message and ask if the user wants to save it before leaving. (Ctrl + E)
