Loading files

Note the difference between Loading (which opens the drawing in a separate window) and Importing (which loads the drawing into the existing window).

To load a file

1. Click the Open button on the control bars.

2. Choose the location and file name of the file.

Tips

You can also load a file by dragging it from the Explorer (or File Manager) onto Xara LX. Drop it onto the control bars or anywhere away from the document because if you drop it onto a document it will be imported into that document.

If you have loaded the file recently its name will be on the bottom of the File menu. Click to load it.

If the file is on the Xara LX CD you can use the Clipart Gallery to load it. You can add your own files to the Clipart Gallery.

For a list of types of file Xara LX can load, see List of Supported File Formats.
