The File menu

New

Opens a new project in a new window. The project will initially be a copy of the currently selected template.

Open...

Opens an existing file as a project in a new window.

You can open files saved in Version 1.0X of Logisim, but there may be some slight conversion problems for complex circuits. Most notably, Logisim 1.0X computes subcircuit locations in a very different way, and you will need manually to go through all circuits and move the subcircuits to their correct locations.

Close

Closes all windows associated with the currently viewed project.

Save

Saves the currently viewed project, overwriting what was previously in the file.

Save As...

Saves the currently viewed project, prompting the user to save into a different file than before.

Export As GIF...

Creates a GIF image containing the current circuit. In the dialog box, you should be able to select how large to create the GIF image, and you should be able to designate whether to display the circuit using ``printer view.''

Print...

Prints the current circuit (using printer view). If the circuit is too wide to fit onto a page, and it is wider than it is tall, it will print in landscape orientation (rotated 90 degrees, so that the horizontal axis is along the long edge of the paper). If the circuit does not fit using the normal scale, Logisim will scale the circuit so that it fits onto the paper.

Preferences...

Displays the application preferences window. (On Mac OS systems, this will appear in the Logisim menu.)

Exit

Closes all currently open projects and terminates Logisim. (On Mac OS systems, this will appear as Quit in the Logisim menu.)

Next: The Edit menu.
