Editing a SpecView Project > Editing GDWs - Graphical Display Windows

The project will ideally need to have already been setup according to Setting up a Project.

(GDWs are the screens that are seen when using SpecView.

These files have a filename extension of either GDW (old style) or GD3 (new style).

Note: These files are not 'stand-alone' and therefore will not work unless they are in the same folder as the rest of the project files they were created with.
