Options | Description |
|---|---|
New Project | The New Project option (or press Ctrl+N key combination) will clear all the data in the workspace, and the user will start working on a new project. |
Open Project | The Open Project option will load a project saved on the computer's hard drive or in external memory. When this option is selected a separate window appears, as shown in File Menu#Figure 2, which allows the user to browse the project file. The *.gpp file may also be dragged and dropped onto the workspace to open the project. Note that the *.gpp extension is a Grid+, whereas *.gpc extension is the grid format. |

When the user saves a project a browsing window similar to File Menu#Figure 2 in Open Project allows the user to specify the desired save location. The project file is saved as a .gpp file. |
Save As Project | The Save As Project option allows the user to save the current project to another single .gpp file |
