Open a file in a project



You can open files only from projects that are stored on a local Version Cue Server or from shared projects on a remote server that is configured to be visible to others.

You can open a project file in any application. If you open a checked-in file from within Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, or InCopy, the file is checked out automatically, and you can save versions of the file from within the application. Users using CS3 applications can use the Adobe Dialog to open Version Cue CS4 project files. If you open a project file in any other application, you’ll need to check in and out files manually. (See Using Version Cue CS4 with other applications.)

Note: Make sure that you are connected to the Version Cue Server project using Adobe Drive. See Connect to servers using Adobe Drive.

Open a project file from within an application

  1. In your application, choose File > Open.
  2. Open the server drive that contains the Version Cue project.

    In Windows, click My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Vista), or display the Look In menu. Locate the project folder, which appears as a mapped network drive. In Mac OS, click the mounted server.

  3. Double-click the project that contains the file you want to open.
  4. Select the file, and click Open.

Open a project file from Adobe Bridge

  1. Click Version Cue in the Favorites panel.
  2. Double-click the Version Cue server in the Content panel, double-click the project that contains the file you want to open, and then double-click the file.

Adobe Bridge relies on the operating system to know which application to use when opening the file. If the file opens in the wrong application, open the file directly from within the desired application, or change the system settings to specify a different default application for the file type.
