Open is used to load designs into Pulsonix. The design types possible for opening are not only limited to Pulsonix binary format files (.PCB) but also ASCII files from other systems. Multiple design opening is not possible for PCB or Schematic designs or symbols, the Open dialog would need to be used for each design required. Multi-sheet schematics are opened through the one schematic design which contains the individual sheets.

Files Of Type
Use this to filter the types of files reported in the display list available for opening. Once a ‘type’ is selected e.g. PCB Designs (*.PCB), the next time the Open dialog is used the option will remember the design type of PCB.
Previously Opened Designs:
If a design has been opened previously and recently, it will appear on the File menu as one of the recently used file list. It can be quickly opened by selecting the corresponding number next to the file name or by selecting it from the list.
Open Last Active Page
When working with a multi-page Schematic design, there is a switch on the Display page of the Options dialog that allows you to only show the last active page when the Schematic file is next opened.
Active Page in this context means the page you were currently viewing (the ‘top most’ one of all the pages currently open) when the design was last saved. You have to save the file for that page to be marked as the Active page.
