Polyframe Memory is stored in a separate .PFM file. You can create a new memory for a language pair or attach an existing one.

Create a memory

  1. Open the Memory tab in the Inspector.
  2. Click Create Memory.
  3. Choose the source and target languages.
  4. Save the .PFM file.

Attach an existing file

Click Attach Memory and choose a .PFM. Polyframe shows the number of Blocks and Terms and opens the Memory manager.

Memory matching works only when its target language matches the active project target. If they differ, you can still edit entries, but Block matching is disabled.

The .PFP project saves a link to the memory. If the file moves, use Locate Memory to point to it again.
