Add a New Document as a File

General

  • Saving as a file is an exceptional way to start a new document in Vertex, where normally you should use the archive.
  • You cannot add a model saved as a file to an assembly.
  • A document saved as a file is saved in the transfer file, which is created with the function Archives | Projects | Export Project if it is saved in the folder of the project to be exported.
  • Open a document that is added as a file by using File > Open File or drag and drop it on the Vertex desktop.
    • You can also double-click the file (*.vxm, *.vxp) to open it in Vertex. This requires that the file extension is connected to the Vertex program you are using when you installed the program.
