Open multiple files in lasercad

Is it possible to open multiple files in Lasercad at the same time? This would make it possible to open a dxf file for cutting and an image file for engraving on the same screen and lay them out appropriately.
thanks

You may import different file into LaserCad and use layer to separate it. To enable the layer, just put a check mark on the laser. To enable multiple image, put a check mark on "Reserve the current document" and it will allow multiple images to be imported

When you're doing image importing using the "Import" feature by clicking "File"
The option is right at the bottom of the pop up screen

In the above posts I see LaserCad 6.35 and 6.37.
When did these releases happen? How do I get the latest?
I am on 6.27

Sharp eyes! Yes, the latest is 6.46. There is not much change on the software per programmer. One thing he did was to fix the Chinese characters showing up on Win7. Also, a minor fine tune for big machine that use for cutting. So I didn't post it yet.
