Import an MPX file

You can import a selected MPX 4.0 file into either the current map (under the selected topic) or to create a new map, if no map is open.

Prepare to import an MPX file

• If you are importing task dependencies as Relationships, and you expect to have many of these on the map, you may want to set the default format of Relationships to a light color and thin lines. You can also do this after import.
