Using the Bins Tab

The selected bins open either in separate windows or in a single window with tabs indicating

the bins.

You can also open multiple bins by dragging them from the Bins tab in the Project window to an

open bin. The bins open as tabs in the existing bin.

To open a bin from another project:

1. Select File > Open Bin.

The Open a Bin dialog box opens.

2. Find and select the bin you want.

Bins have the file name extension .avb.

3. Click Open.

The bin appears in the Bins list in a folder called Other Bins. The name Other Bins appears

in italic. You can rename this folder. This option is useful when you want to open a bin not

currently displayed in the Project window.

The Other Bins folder disappears from the Bins list when you delete all the bins in the Other Bins

folder. Deleting bins from the Other Bins folder does not remove the bins from your system; only

the pointers to the bins are removed.

To close a bin, do one of the following:

t Click the Close button.

t Select File > Close Bin.

Displaying Folders of Bins in the Bins List

You can add folders to the Bins list to help organize your project. You can drag bins into folders

or drag folders into folders.

To create a folder in a project:

1. Click the Fast menu button, and select New Folder.

A new untitled folder appears.

2. Click the untitled folder name in the Bins list and rename it.

To show or hide the folder’s contents in the Bins list in the Project window:

t Click the arrow next to a folder icon.

To view a list of only the folder contents and not the folders:

t Click the Fast Menu button, and select Flat View.
