Projects can be created via the Backstage view or the project management. In both methods the project is created based on a basic project. The following section describes how you create a project via the Backstage view. If you have not yet created any basic projects, you can use the EPLAN Sample templates.
Precondition:
You have access to Basic projects.
- Select the following commands: File > New.
- Specify a project name without a file suffix in the Project name field of the dialog Create project.
- Click
in the Storage location field and specify the directory where the project is to be stored in the subsequent dialog. - Click
in the Basic project field and switch to the directory where the template is located in the Select basic project dialog. - Select the desired basic project and click [Open].
- 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 basic project from which a project comes:
Mark your project in the page navigator and select the popup menu Properties. Add the project property Project: Template in the Backstage view Information in the tab Properties. The property displays the template (basic project, or, for a copied project, the source project) from which the project was created. To differentiate, the file extension is displayed in addition to the file name.
