Creating and managing projects

Creating and managing projects - Exercise

1. Click on the New project from the Project Menu.
2. Right-click within the Project Manager and select New Project.
3. Use the pull-down menu to select New Project.
4. Once selected, a dialog box will appear. This will allow you to enter the project name and specify its save location by choosing the Browse button.
5. Select the check box if you would like to create a new folder to organize the drawings within the project. If you have a sample project and would like to copy its settings, you can do so by selecting the existing project files. If you keep it blank, the settings are copied from the active project.
6. Add the description to the project by clicking the Descriptions button once. If you select that description, a pop up with the new dialogue will come up. Here you will find multiple lines where you can input the relevant details.
7. Set line 1 to the first electrical project, line 2 with the project number, and line 3 as a job number.
8. Now with all these settings, click OK and go to the Properties to view the properties, or select OK to accept directly and get forward with the project.
9. Customize the text for the description that you would like to add into the reports.
10. Go to the project folder and create a simple text file and rename it to Demo project.
11. Click Save.
12. Go to the project description and see if it is updated. If it is modified with a new value, you can create subfolders for organizing the project drawings.
13. Add schematics, panels, and report folders to save the relevant drawings in these subfolders. Arrange the folders by dragging them, or right-click and flatten the structure. If you need to, you can rename or delete the folder here.
14. Add the drawings to the project and manage the drawings while you work.
