Summary

The Create Project dialog is used to create a new project. Every design starts with a project file that stores project level settings, such as links to each of the design documents within that project. As well as creating the new project file on the hard drive, this dialog supports adding the new project to version control or creating it as a managed project in your server or workspace.

The new project can be created:

  • As a managed project in an Altium NEXUS workspace.
  • As a managed project in an on-site server.
  • In your version control system with a working copy in your preferred location.
  • In a folder on the local hard drive.

The dialog is accessed by choosing File » New » Project from the main menus.
