Creating a New Project

Before a new project is created some preparatory actions to facilitate project management and to save several process steps at a later stage must be undertaken.

            Open all files to be added to the new project. This may include, for example, preview windows for often used symbols, libraries as well as circuit files.

All files that are open when creating a new project will be automatically added to the project.

            Select Project- New... and enter a file name for the new project.

Project files have the extension prj and should, for best results, reside in the same ct subdirectory as the circuit files of the project.

After having entered the file name in the dialog box, the system creates the project file with all open files.

            Close all windows which you don't need right now, and arrange the remaining windows according to your preferences.

Any closed windows that belong to the project can be opened at any time by clicking Files or Overviewsin the project menu.

            Save the settings and the window arrangement as default for this project by clicking Options- Save Settings Now.
