Open an existing project

Drone2Map allows you to create projects or open an existing project. Drone2Map projects are stored as .d2mx files. When you process a Drone2Map project, a .d2mx file is created in the project folder in your project's directory. You can open the project directly from the project folder or in Drone2Map.

Open a project using File Explorer

To open a project using File Explorer, complete the following steps:

1. Open a File Explorer window.
2. Browse to the project folder.
The .d2mx file is stored at the top level of the project folder.
3. Double-click the .d2mx file to open the file in Drone2Map.

   If Drone2Map is already open, it loads the project in a new window. If Drone2Map is closed, it opens and loads the project.
