Project Wizard

Project Wizard

The project wizard provides a step-by-step approach to creating or opening a project:

Create a new project

If you choose to create a new project, you will be shown a list of different project templates, similar to the following:

Empty Project

If you choose the Empty Project option, then a new blank project is created, if you are starting your own automation project, then this is where you will most likely start.

To create an Empty Project:

• Select the "Empty Project" option
• Browse for a directory in which to create the project. The best practice here is to create a new directory with the same name as the project you are going to create, e.g. for a project called "Stairs", the directory might be "C:\DriveWorksSolo\Stairs"
• Optionally, if the directory doesn't have the same name as the project, choose the name you want to give the project.
• Click Finish

Import from DriveWorksXpress

If you want to create a new project which is a copy of an existing DriveWorksXpress project then:

• Select the "Import from DriveWorksXpress" option
• Click Finish to start the DriveWorksXpress Import Wizard

Templates

DriveWorks Solo comes with some standard templates, and more can be downloaded from the DriveWorks Solo web site: http://www.driveworkssolo.com/.

To use a template:

• Select the template you want to use
• Browse for a directory in which to create a new project based on the template. The best practice here is to create a new directory with the same name as the project you are going to create, e.g. for a project called "MyCupboard", the directory might be "C:\DriveWorksSolo\MyCupboard"
• Optionally, if the directory doesn't have the same name as the project, choose the name you want to give the project.
• Click Finish

Open an existing project

If you choose to open an existing project, you will be given the option to browse for the project to open:
