This opens the File Open dialog window and allows 2D DXF, EPS and AI and PDF files to be imported into the 2D View. Navigate to the required folder, enter a suitable name for the job and click the Save button. This option opens the File Save As dialog window and allows the job to be saved as a Cut2D Pro file. This option opens the File Open dialog window, allowing Cut2D Pro files (CRV) and importable 2D vector files to be selected and opened. The Modeling Resolution and default 3D shading color/material can also be set at this stage.

The relative origins for X0, Y0 and Z0 are also specified at this point, and the measurement units can be set in either inches or metric. This option opens the Job Setup form (below), which is used to create a new blank job of the width (X), height (Y), and thickness (Z) required.
