MPL for Windows Manual

Save the Model File

MPL has two commands on the File menu Save and Save As... that allow you to save your model files. You can also use the shortcuts Ctrl-S and Ctrl-A respectively or press the File Save button in the Toolbar.

You use the Save command when you want to save the file using the current name. When you want to save the file under a different name use the Save As... command. The standard Save As dialog box like the one shown below will then be displayed.

In the middle of the dialog box is list of the files that are in the current folder. Enter the new filename you want to save as in the File Name input box. You can also save the file by selecting one of the existing filenames in the list of files and then press the Save button.

The files that are listed in the list of files are determined by the entry in the Save as type input box located at the bottom. From there you can select to show MPL model files '*.mpl', MPS files, '*.mps', data files '*.dat', project files, or all files '*.*'.

The name of the current folder is shown in the Save In input box at the top of the dialog. If you want to save the file in a different folder, you can press the down arrow at the right of the Save In input box to navigate through the directory tree. Select the folder name you want to save in, then enter the new filename in the File Name input box and press the Save button.

If you do not want to save the file press the Cancel button to close the dialog box.
