The Create Project dialog

Summary

The Create Project dialog is used to create a new project. Every design starts with a project file that stores project-level settings, such as links to each of the design documents within that project. As well as creating the new project in your connected Workspace, this dialog supports adding the new project to external version control or creating the new project file on the hard drive.

The new project can be created:

  • As a Workspace project in the connected Workspace.
  • In your version control system with a working copy in your preferred location.
  • In a folder on the local hard drive.

Access

The dialog is accessed by choosing File » New » Project from the main menus.

Options/Controls

Locations – this section allows you to choose the location you want to create the project in. The rightmost pane will display options relevant to the chosen location.

Select the target location of the project.

Additional Controls

  • Create - click to create and save the project and associated files. The new project will be listed in the Projects panel.

    When you click Create for a Workspace or version-controlled project, it will be added to the specified folder within the target Workspace/repository then checked out to the local working folder defined in the Local Storage field.
