simply copy and rename one of those files and it worked fine with my .pd2. You
will have to undo all of the parametric changes but it’s a lot easier than

<p class=MsoNormal>Others may have a better solution in dealing with the .pd2
file. However, one option is to open a blank eQUEST file (go new file
from wizard -> SD wizard and then click the red x on the 1st screen of the
wizard to start blank). Now File Import the project .inp file (the one
with out " - baseline" ... please make a copy first!). <br>
<br>
You should be able to recover everything you had in the detailed interface
except the project location which you will need to redefine. Your wizard
data is lost (as that was in the .pd2) but all the detailed interface data is
stored in the .inp file. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
