Creating a Project

Every project (.prj) contains at least one diagram, and any number of model or file documents. The project can also contain one or more framework diagrams, a framework matrix, and one or more dependency matrices.

1. Select File > New Project to open the New Project dialog box.
   
   
2. Select a type of project in the tree. You can choose to create:
   
   

   • An empty project.

   • A project based on a template (see Project Templates). Click the Change Template Directory tool to search for templates in another location.

3. Enter a project name and location, and select the Append Name To Location check box if you want to add the project name to the root directory.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box, and create the project.

   The project opens. You can add models and other documents to your project (see Building a Project and Completing Framework Diagrams and Matrices).
