<b>Function</b>
<dd>
Loads an existing drawing to be edited or creates a new drawing.
<p>
<dt>
<b>Syntax</b>
<dd>
<tt>EDIT name</tt><br>
<tt>EDIT name.ext</tt><br>
<tt>EDIT .ext</tt>

<b>See also</b> <a href=64.htm>OPEN</a>,

<a href=30.htm>BOARD</a>
<p>
The EDIT command is used to load a drawing or if a library has been
opened with the OPEN command, to load a package, symbol, or device for
editing.

<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>EDIT name.brd</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>loads a board</font></td></tr>

<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>EDIT name.dev</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>loads a device</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>EDIT name.s1 </tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>loads sheet 1 of a schematic</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>EDIT name.s99</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>loads sheet 99 of a schematic</font></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
Wildcards in the name are allowed (e.g. *.brd).
<p>
The EDIT command without parameters will cause a
file dialog (in board or schematic mode) or a
<a href=20.htm>popup menu</a> (in library mode) to appear
from which you can select the file or object.
<p>
To change from schematic to a board with the same name the command
<pre>
EDIT .brd
</pre>
can be used. In the same way to change from board to schematic use
the command
<pre>
EDIT .sch
</pre>
To edit another sheet of a schematic the command
<pre>
EDIT .Sx
</pre>
(x is the sheet number) or the combo box in the action toolbar of the
editor window can be used.
<p>
Symbols, devices or packages may only be edited if a library is first
opened with the OPEN command.
<p>
<u>Which Directory?</u>
<p>
EDIT loads files from the
<a href=13.htm>project directory</a>.
