The File Menu

The top navigation bar of the R-THYM editor contains several drop-down menus for managing your project and interacting with the system. The File menu handles all the core actions related to saving, loading, and importing/exporting your network data.

Here is a breakdown of every option in the File menu:

• New: Clears the canvas and initializes a blank, untitled project. (Note: Be sure to save your work first, as unsaved changes will be cleared!)
• Open...: Navigates back to your Dashboard, where you can select and load any of your previously saved projects from the cloud.
• Open Example...: Navigates to the Example Projects section of your Dashboard, allowing you to load pre-built benchmark models.
• Save: Commits your current workspace to the cloud database. If this is a newly created or cloned example project, it will prompt you for a project name.
• Save As...: Duplicates your current workspace into a new project slot. This is perfect for creating a "Version 2" of your model before making drastic changes.
• Import EPANET (.inp)...: Opens a file dialog allowing you to upload an existing EPANET .inp file from your local hard drive. R-THYM will instantly parse the file and render the network onto the interactive canvas.
• Export EPANET (.inp): Generates and downloads an EPANET-compatible .inp file of your current network topology. This allows you to easily share your geometry with colleagues or run it in legacy desktop software.
• Exit: Closes the editor and returns you to your main Dashboard.

Mastering the File menu ensures you never lose your progress and can seamlessly transition data between R-THYM and legacy desktop tools.
