Opening and Saving Definition Files
This section describes how to open and save definition files.
Opening a Definition File
To open a new file:
Invoke Data Export (see Chapter 2). The Data Export window appears. It
displays default or empty settings that you can configure and save for the
export. Until you name the file, the default filename, Unnamed.sde,
appears on the window’s title banner.
To open an existing file:
1. Click the Open icon, or select Open from the File menu.
An Open File dialog box (Figure 3-1) appears. Use the Filter option to
navigate to the correct directory, select a file, and click the OK button. The
Data Export window displays the configuration settings for the selected
file.
2. Configure the file as desired.
3. Save the modified definition file as described in Saving a Definition File on
Page 3-3.
