Beyond the standard commands that exist in the Standard Windows dialog boxes (such as the Open, Save, and Print dialog boxes), PC-DMIS, in certain circumstances, adds additional functionality to shortcut menus. Many of these are explained in the "Using Basic File Options" and "Using Advanced File Options" chapters.
When opening, saving, or using other file operations, right-click on the measurement routine file name listed in the dialog box to bring up these shortcut menu options.
