You can access a context menu for any cell in the Vista AFD system by right-clicking that cell. Most of the commands that are available are standard, and are described in Cells in Workbench.
The context menu commands that are specific to the Meanline cell are described in Table 5.5: Context Menu Commands Specific to the Vista AFD Meanline Cell.

Import BladeGen File |
This command first prompts you to select a BladeGen file, then imports the Vista AFD settings from the selected file into the cell properties. The BladeGen file is required to have been written by an older version of BladeGen that included Vista AFD; such an older version of BladeGen wrote Vista AFD settings into the BladeGen file. It must not have been produced by the Create New > BladeGen command. |
