Two variations of the New Project dialog showing Regular project options and VCS/Managed project options.
Summary
The New Project dialog is used to create an Altium Designer project file. Every design created in Altium Designer 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 file on the hard drive, this dialog supports adding the new project to version control or creating it as a managed project.
The new project can be created:
- In a folder on the hard drive.
- In your version control system with a working copy in your preferred location.
- As a Managed Project with a working copy in your preferred location. A Managed Project is one that is stored in the version control system built into your Altium Vault.
Access
This dialog can be accessed in the following ways:
- Click File » New » Project.
- From the New from template region of the Files panell, click on any of the Projects entries.
