EDIT

Function: Loads an existing drawing to be edited or creates a new drawing.
Syntax: EDIT name
EDIT name.ext
EDIT .ext

The EDIT command is used to load a drawing or if a library has been opened with the OPEN command, to load a package, symbol, or device for editing.

EDIT name.brd loads a board

EDIT name.sch loads a schematic

EDIT name.pac loads a package

EDIT name.sym loads a symbol

EDIT name.dev loads a device

EDIT name.s1 loads sheet 1 of a schematic

EDIT name.s99 loads sheet 99 of a schematic

Wildcards in the name are allowed (e.g. *.brd).

The EDIT command without parameters will cause a file dialog (in board or schematic mode) or a popup menu (in library mode) to appear from which you can select the file or object.

To change from schematic to a board with the same name the command

EDIT .brd

can be used. In the same way to change from board to schematic use the command

EDIT .sch

To edit another sheet of a schematic the command

EDIT .Sx

(x is the sheet number) or the combo box in the action toolbar of the editor window can be used.

Symbols, devices or packages may only be edited if a library is first opened with the OPEN command.

Which Directory?

EDIT loads files from the project directory.
