New Dialog
Used to create and open a DGN file as the active DGN file.
You can access this dialog from the following:
Setting | Description |

Save in | Lists the drives and directories for selection. |
List box | Lists the names of the existing files in the directory, filtered according to the file type chosen in the Save as type option menu. |
File name | Sets the name of the new DGN file you want to

Different file systems allow different numbers of characters in file names. Some file systems are case-sensitive (they differentiate between upper and lower case), others are not. If portability between different file systems is a concern, file names with a maximum of eight characters all in the same case are recommended. |
