4.2.9.2.2 Closing a Child Window

To close the currently active child window, select File > Close. If no changes have been made to the cur-
rent model, or if the child window is empty, the display will be closed immediately. If changes have been
made, a small pop-up window queries:

Save changes to Graphic?

Click on Yes to save changes, click on No to abandon changes

To cancel the close operation and leave the currently selected child window open, click on Cancel.

4.2.9.2.3 Saving Files - Save and Save As

When changes have been made to the current working graphic or submodel, and have not yet been
saved, an asterisk (*) will be displayed after the filename of the graphic or submodel in the title bar of the
window in which it resides. To save the current working graphic or submodel, click on the Save option on
the File pull-down menu. To rename and save the current working graphic or submodel, click on the Save
As
option on the File pull-down menu.

The Save and Save As options will save the graphic or submodel currently in the selected Working View as
an "offline" version; the installed version, if any, will not be modified.

4.2.9.2.4 Installation Operations

Once a model has been configured, it can be installed for use, to be accessed via an Operator Window.
Click on the Install item from the File pull-down menu.

If submodel has been chosen as the model type, it is installed immediately, and a message in the status
bar advises:

Submodel <name> installed.

If the model to be installed is a graphic, it must be assigned a graphic index number, and the Install
Graphic window is displayed. This window contains the name of the model and text entry boxes used to
enter the graphic index number and title of the model. Click on the desired entry box, then enter informa-
tion via the keyboard. (To quickly review the list of currently installed graphics, click on the List button.)

Note

When the Install option is selected, the Save operation is performed
automatically as part of the installation process.

Note

If the model has not yet been saved, a Save As window will be
displayed next. Assign a name to the model using this window. If
the model has already been saved, this step will be omitted.

Note

If a previously assigned Graphic Index Number is entered, a pop-up
window appears to warn of the conflict, displaying the following
message:

Another graphic is using this index. Replace it?

Click on Yes to replace the existing graphic, or click on No to return
to the Install Graphic pop-up window and enter a different Graphic
Index Number.
