The points you enter to fit the stringers may be saved in a text file and read in at a later time.

To save the stringer points:

Ø        Bring the Stringer Data window to the front

Ø        Choose Save Stringer Points from the File menu

Ø        Save the file to disk

The stringer points will be saved in a text file on disk. You can read this file into a word processor or spreadsheet if you wish to use another program for further editing and then read the file back into Workshop.

If you have a text file of stringer points saved on disk (either created using Workshop or from another program) you can read them into Workshop.

To open a file of stringer points:

Ø        Bring the Stringer Data window to the front

Ø        Choose Open Stringer Points from the File menu

Ø        Choose the file you want to open

If you prepare a file of stringer points using another program, the format of this text file should be the same as that created by Workshop. This format is as follows:

·   One stringer point per line, each entry separated by a tab character

·   The entries are in the same order as the columns in the stringers table.
