About Opening Files
You can open files across platforms, retrieve files from other directories, and retrieve earlier versions of a file. In addition, you can use wildcards to retrieve objects and to perform operations to save time when retrieving graphics. To open a recently saved file, click its name at the bottom of the File menu.
You can retrieve files of all types from the current session (in memory) and from disk using the
File Open dialog box (
File >
Open). You can use this dialog box to perform the following operations:
• Navigate your disk and directory structure
• Select and open a file
• Filter the displayed file types
• Select simplified representations of files
• Preview files
• View files as thumbnails
Refer to the section on opening files in the Creo Parametric Fundamentals Help for more information.
