I. To start the editor from STAAD.Pro

When the STAAD.Pro Editor is opened from within STAAD.Pro, the model that is currently open is saved, the STAAD input file automatically parsed and a check on the data is performed. If any issues detected are then reported in an error message that identifies the number of Errors/Warning detected. The details of the issues are then reported in the Error List panel. For more details for the messages. Refer to I. To check for syntax errors for details.

Note: Note that when the STAAD.Pro Editor is opened from within STAAD.Pro, it is not possible to open an additional STAAD input file or start a new file. This is only possible when starting the STAAD.Pro Editor externally. Refer to I. To start the editor externally.

Open a STAAD file in STAAD.Pro.
On the Utilities ribbon tab, select the Command File Editor tool in the Utilities group.

The STAAD.Pro Editor window opens with the current STAAD input file.
