Fiberworks PCW: introduction, new design and opening files

The video starts with an introduction to Fiberworks PCW software, explaining its basic functionalities like making new designs and opening existing ones.

Users can create a new design by clicking on the 'New' icon on the taskbar, selecting 'File' then 'New' from the menu, or using the Ctrl+N keyboard shortcut.

To open an existing design, click the 'Open' icon, go to 'File' and then 'Open', or use the Ctrl+O keyboard shortcut. The software navigates to a default location, and users can browse for their stored designs. Double-clicking a file also opens it.

Fiberworks files typically have a '.dxf' extension. For sharing designs with users of other software, it's possible to export or save designs as '.wft' files, which is an international standard.

The software also displays a list of recently opened designs for quick access. The video concludes by reiterating the processes for making new designs and opening existing ones.
