Opening ProDiver Files

Use the ProDiver window to open files including, but not limited to cBases, cPlans, DivePlans, markers, models, and DiveBooks.

To open a file:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • On the ProDiver menu bar, select File > Open.

    • On the toolbar, click the Open File icon Open file icon..

    The Open File dialog box opens.

    NOTE: The available options on the Open File dialog box vary, depending on how the DiveLine administrator has configured your system, and if you have previously opened a file on the server.

    If a home project is assigned to you, the Look in box is populated with your default home directory.

    NOTE: You cannot change projects in this dialog box. To do so, on the ProDiver menu bar, select File > Change Project.

    Open file window when there is a home project assigned.

    If a home project is not assigned to you, you might need to select a project in the Project list. In many cases, the DI developer creates only one project.

  2. Browse to the file that you want to open, and double-click the file name; or select the file name, and then click Open.

Recently-Opened Files

The ProDiver File menu lists up to five recently used files. To open a file from this list, click its file name.

Alternately, this list is available on the toolbar by clicking the Closedarrow next to the Open File icon.

Note the following:

  • Security settings are inherited from DiveLine. If you attempt to open a file to which you do not have access, a Permission Denied error appears.
  • If the DivePlan related to the file that you are opening is already open, the new DivePlan uses the already-open console.
  • If a marker file is stored in a different directory than the cBase or model, you are prompted for the cBase or model location.
  • You can open only one project at a time.
  • You can open multiple files in a project.

  • If a project is open and you attempt to open a file that is in a different project, you will see the following warning:

    This will close all open data sources. Continue?

    If you click Yes, any open data sources close before the new file opens.
