Open

This command serves to open a new file, or to open a new window of an already opened file. After calling this command a dialog window is displayed for selection of a file.

Before entering a file name, you have to first set the file type (in the bottom left part of the window). The files in the GROMA program internal format(.crd, .mes, .pic, .bmp, .prj) are directly opened, the other files are imported first in the internal format and the created file is opened. Therefore, all the changes performed in the file are saved in the file in the internal format, where the original file remains unchanged. In case of the files in the internal format, you can select more files on the list using the keys<Shift> and <Ctrl>.

If you import the measured data list or the coordinate list from a field book, you have to first set the field book type and the format you work with in the dialog window Settings->fieldbook . The list of the file types in the dialog window for opening a file contains the items for measurement import which changes according to the selected type of field book.

Using this common dialog window you can also open the saved calculations (transit traverse, measurements, check distances, transformation key) and the files from the extent modules (network adjustment, road trace).
