Opening an Existing Schematic

Use the following steps to open an existing schematic.

1. To open an existing schematic, select File Open in ViewDraw.
   
   Viewlogic allows a schematic to contain multiple sheets, saved as separate files to the project directory's sch directory. The extension of the file is the actual sheet number. For example, in a top-level schematic with two sheets, the sch directory contain schematic.1 and schematic.2 files.
   
   
2. To select the top-level schematic, select the primary library (or any other user-defined library) on the right side of the Open dialog box, shown in the “File Open Dialog Box” figure. You can either type the name directly in the Schematic field, or click on the file in the design list box.
