Attaching a File to a Model
You can attach a file of any format in the Attached Files tab ( ) and save it as part of a MapleSim model. For example, you can attach Maple worksheets that are related to your MapleSim model or design documents created in other applications.
When you open your model in a future MapleSim session, you can view and edit the attached file from the Attachment Files tab.
To attach a file to a model from the menu bar:
Select Edit > Attach File... . The Attach Document window appears.
Browse to and select the file you want to attach.
Click Attach... . The file attaches to the Documents palette.
Save your model. By default the file attaches to the Documents category.
Note: If you want to move this attachment to a different category in the palette, you can click and drag the entry.
