[Equest-users] Wizard mode greyed out?

[Ramya S]

Zhang,

Typically when the eQUEST file is generated from an *.inp file, the wizard
edit is grayed out. You can get creative with the text files by starting a
new wizard file and recreating it with text edits. I have tried that a long
time ago and dont remember the issues I faced or if I was even successful.
I think it might be easier to redraw and copy paste from an inp file.

Regards

Ramya Shivkumar
