I currently am stuck in a .abd design and there are no buttons to allow me to open another design. I have tried opening other designs using Bioera as the program, but they won't open. I am new to this software so I apologize if this is a newbie question.

You should be able to open any design in BioEra software by selecting "System" menu and then "Load design". If it doesn't work then it means something is wrong with the design file you try to load.

Make sure you use design files with .bpd extension (not .abd) which are for Windows.

There is no menu bar in this design. Any way to get around this?

I downloaded it off the pocket neurobics website and I believe they mislabeled the Android design as a windows design.

You should not use android designs on Windows. They are similar (and often work) but not the same and may not work the same.

If you don't see the menu bar, you probably do not have Designer window. Try to start BioEra using "with console" option from Programs->BioEraPro (or Trial) Windows menu.

Thank you! The console version fixed it :)

Another question, is it possible to merge a design, like the pacman example that comes with the software, into one large window, instead of a series of nested designs?

Not automatically. But you could do this manually quite easily.

It is possible to import a design, which will add all elements and connections to current design. So if you import all nested designs into your one main design you will be almost there.
