Curve Tool: Using Curve Files

Curves can be saved and restored from disk files in the Curve (.crv) format. Curves from all axes are saved and restored, even if they are currently not visible. It is not possible to save individual curves or points.

The Curve Tool always has exactly one open curve file. Therefore, creating a new file or opening an existing file will overwrite the current curve data, and uploading a curve from an RMC axis will overwrite the curve on that axis in the open file. If you have made changes that have not been saved, you will be prompted to save the current file before the operation completes or to cancel the operation.

The following file operations are available from the File menu:

New
Create a new Curve file with no initial curves.
Open
Open an existing Curve file.
Save
Save the current Curve file to its current file name.
Save As
Save the current Curve file to a new file name.
Recently Used File
Open a recently used file. The file names of the four most-recently-used Curve files will be listed near the end of the File menu. Select the file you want to open.
