This ribbon contains features that are unique for the selected view or unique to the category that the selected view belongs. Open.dmmw file format If you want to save a group of maps in one file and continue working with them later from one place, you can do so with imindq.dmmw file format. In order to save the opened group of maps as.dmmw file format, the maps need to be saved first to a file location. Open.dmms file format If you want to save your own style of creating a map, imindq allows them to save it as.dmms file format. This format saves the applied desired formatting to the map elements, such as: topics, relationships, boundaries and callouts. To use it in the application and apply it to the any map you create, the.dmms file needs to be imported. Open.dmmt file format If you want to save a map as a template and use it as a guideline for other maps, you will have to save the created map with.dmmt file extension. This file saves the map as template which can be imported in the application in the Templates library, and use Open.mmap file format imindq can open files with the extension.mmap.
