Open as 

Start a new project from an existing project.

\openas

 

Unlike the New (\new) command that starts a new model from a template located in

ARCALIB\TEMPLATE\MODELS for GEOM models and …ARCALIB\TEMPLATE\DSG for DSG files –

You can use the Open as command to create a new model from any existing ARC+ model regardless its location on your system or network.

Select the file you want in the dialog box.

Click on Open.

 

The file gets loaded in ARC+ but when you save it for the first time, ARC+ prompts you to give it a name.
