It should be in the title bar on the Model side.
If not select another layout from the Tabs up top and then go back to the layout you were in.
If that does not work then on the Workspace side select the Reset to Default context.

The file menu is the legacy way of loading files and scenes and as far as I know doesn't store the 7.x file info.


If you want save scripts and maintain your link editor stuff and your 7.5 settings, you need to use the new file system which is handled through the library panel on the right hand side. It's drag and drop. Also right clicking on items will bring up options. To move things from the Link Editor (2D tab) you need to CTRL-click on the title bar of the object and drag it into the library of your choice. To add an object or your scene to the library, select the object, right click in an empty space in the library window, and choose one of the insert options.


See the thread here on how to bring up the library browser:

Hope that helps!

hi jack,


thanks for the heads up...


how would you go about creating a new file altogether without using file, new scene...?

:cool:

You click the "Generate New Space" icon on the middle bottom toolbar.
