Open a plot layout
There are a number of options available to you when you select the Plot | Open menu option:
- To open a Micromine Plot Document (*.PEX), leave the file type set to the default.
- To open a Version 11 Plot, set the file type to PLOT (*.PEL).
- To open a Micromine Plot Template, set the file type to Plot Template (*.PTX) file type.
If you want to select a template and use it as the basis for a plot layout, select Plot | New Layout. An option to Create a new layout from a template is provided.
There is a limit (50) on the number of Plot Documents that can be open in the Editor at the same time. This applies to documents opened from the Plot menu, or documents opened from a script or macro.

The default folder is the current project folder. If necessary, navigate to a different folder and select the file you want to open. Click Open.
A Version 11 plot is easily saved as a Micromine Plot Document. Simply open it as above and then select File | Save As to save it in .PEX format.
