Managing Map Files

AutoREALM uses a Single Document Interface, which means that only one map can be loaded at a time. If you want to work with more than one map simultaneously, you can start multiple copies of AutoREALM. There are several ways to open a map in AutoREALM:

Ø From the Open Map Dialog Box

Click File | Open in the menu. Select the file you want to open, and click the Open button.

Ø From the Most Recently Used List

Select the File menu. The last few files you've opened appear at the bottom of the File menu, in the order they were last used. Click on one to reopen that file.

Ø From the Windows Explorer

Files in the Explorer that have an AutoREALM Map type (files with an .AuR extension) can be opened by double-clicking on the file (or right-click on the file and choose Open).

Ø Drag-and-Drop from the Explorer

You can open an AutoREALM file by dragging the file from the Explorer onto an already open AutoREALM session. If you have made changes to the current map, AutoREALM will prompt you to save those changes before opening the new file.
