Creating Projects

Projects can be created via the project menu or the project management. In both methods the project is created based on a project template or a basic project. The following section describes how you create a project via the project menu. If you have not yet created any project templates or basic projects then you can use the EPLAN Sample templates.

Precondition:

You have access to Project templates or Basic projects.

  1. Select the menu item Project > New.
  2. Specify a project name without a file suffix in the Project name field of the dialog Create project.
  3. Click [...] beside the Template field, then switch to the directory where the template is located in the Select project template / basic project dialog.
  4. In the File type field, select the EPLAN project template (*.ept) or EPLAN basic project (*.zw9) entry.
  5. Select the desired template and click [Open].
  6. Click [OK].

    The new project *.elk is created in the target directory.

    If you are working with project management, the new project is automatically loaded in the project management module.

Tip:

In the project properties, you can display the project template / basic project from which a project comes:
Mark your project in the page navigator and select the popup menu Properties. In the Properties tab, add the project property Project template. The project template / basic project being used will be displayed.
