Table 1: File Menu Functions
Function	Description
Create Network	The submenu Create Network > From Collected Data allows you to create a new network based on data such as router configuration and interface files. For more information, refer to the NorthStar Planner Feature Guide. The submenu Create Network > Paper Model allows you to create a new network model and specify the NorthStar Planner files that define the network, such as the muxloc (node), bblink (backbone links), and demand files.
Open Network Browser	Opens the Network Browser window where you can load previously saved networks, and organize networks by labels and comments. For more information, refer to File > Open Network Browser.
Open File Manager	Opens the File Manager where you can browse through directories and files to create and/or load a network specification file, view files, or perform basic file operations such as cut, copy, paste, and delete. For more information, see The File Manager Window.
Import Network Wizard	Opens the Import Network Wizard, allowing you to import data files that are converted into the NorthStar Planner network model. Here, you can specify the import input and output directories and select other options for parsing a set of data files. For more information, see Import Network Wizard.
Load Network Files	Opens the Load Network Files window from which you can read in, or load, various network files into the network. See File > Load Network Files.
Close	Closes the current network that is loaded. After closing the current session, you can open another network model or exit the program.
Save	Saves all files for the current network.
Save As...	Saves all files for the current network into a different directory or as a different runcode. The Save As option also allows you to add Comments or Labels to help describe and categorize the network.
Save Network File	The Save Network option allows you to save the current network. The Save Network File option allows you to save one network file without saving the entire network. See File > Save Network File in Saving a File.
Recent Specs Shortcuts	The File menu provides shortcuts for the most recently opened specs. You may also use the mnemonic keys (1-5) to access these specification files.
Exit	This option will close the current network and exit the program. Be sure to save the network environment to avoid losing changes when exiting.
