To Open an existing colour display setup:

  • Select the required display setup file and click Open.

Recently opened or saved files can be accessed from the sub-menu File | Recent Files.

Saving a Setup

To save a setup under a new filename, select File | Save Setup As... Ctrl + Shift + S, enter a file name in the file save dialog and click the Save button.

To save a setup with the current name, select File | Save Setup Ctrl + S.

If a setup or Dash Design is closed and the setup has changed since the last save, a prompt will appear asking if the changes to the setup are to be saved. Select Save As to save the changes (possibly with a new file name), Discard to abandon the changes or Cancel to return to editing the current setup.
