Opening an existing drawing to edit within Draw is simple. You tell Draw that you want to open a drawing file and then locate the file. Draw then loads the drawing into memory, where you can edit the drawing on the drawing area.
One important Draw feature is its capability to open drawings that you create in other graphics programs. In addition to opening Draw files, Draw opens the files in many popular graphic formats such as BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, WMF, and EPS, as well as exports Draw drawings to those file formats.
