Open a Saved Document

Vexy Lines makes it easy to resume work on your saved projects. This section covers how to open your existing documents.

Opening Saved Documents

You can open saved Vexy Lines (.lines) documents using several methods:

Choose File > Open from the main menu (Shortcut: ⌘+O on macOS / Ctrl+O on Windows). Then, browse to and select your file.
Double-click a .lines file directly in your system's file manager (Finder on macOS, File Explorer on Windows).
Drag and drop a .lines file onto the Vexy Lines application icon or into an open Vexy Lines window.

Note: The .lines file format is native to Vexy Lines and contains all your project data, including layers, fills, masks, settings, and any embedded source images.

Accessing Recent Documents

To quickly reopen projects you've worked on recently:

Go to File > Recent Files in the main menu.
A list of your most recently opened documents will appear.
Select the desired file name from the list to open it.
You can clear this list by choosing the Clear Menu option at the bottom, if available.

Note:
An asterisk (*) next to a document's name in the window title indicates that it has unsaved changes. If you attempt to close a document with unsaved modifications, Vexy Lines will prompt you to save your changes before closing.

With your document open, you're ready to continue creating. The following sections explain how to add fills, manage layers and build your vector artwork.
