To import a file

1. On the File menu, click Import. The Import dialog box opens.

2. Click the down arrow in the Files of Type list box.

3. Choose the type of file you want to import.

4. Change to the drive and folder you want.

5. Highlight the name of the file you want to import.

6. Click Setup if you want to change import settings (if available).

7. Click Import. The dialog box closes and the imported file appears in the drawing area.

If you skip step 6, Designer uses the settings previously used when importing this file type. The available import settings vary depending on the file type you want to import. Files in the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HPGL) format are sometimes named with a PLT (plotter) extension. Before importing a plotter file, make sure it has a PLT extension so that Designer will list it in the Import dialog box.
