Project Selection List
The Project Selection List is displayed on the Design XPress Main Screen (along with the main
menu and the command buttons). It is a list of all Design XPress Projects that have been created (or
imported) and saved in Design XPress.
To open a project, select the project, then click on the Open Project button or double-click
on the selected project.
To delete a project, click on the project then press the Delete Project button, or the delete
key on the keyboard. A confirm delete request dialog box appears to confirm deletion.
Right-click anywhere in the Project Selection List to open the Project Selection List
context menu, and select Sort to access the Project Sorting feature. The listed projects
can be sorted by up to four criteria in either ascending or descending order. After the
desired settings have been selected click the Sort button to return to the sorted project list.
