The Use Design dialog facilitates the use of design data in the current design. The current design will then become dependent on the selected design. Select the design to use from the design list and click Open.
An existing design (from a previous version or from another project, for example) can be imported into the current project. If the location of the design is know, click the Import button and locate the design. If the location is not known, click the Find button and use the Find Files dialog to locate a design to import.
Existing designs pertinent to the current design process are shown in the Design list. Certain operations can be carried out on these designs by selecting them and clicking the Right Mouse button (see Design List).
Certain designs may be present within the current project (for example, additional offset data), which clutter up the Design list. These can be removed from the list by checking the Display Registered Designs Only box.
For additional options used with Offset Data, see Offset Data Options.
