Finishing a Project
When you have reached the final Project Wizard dialog, the Next button becomes disabled, and the
Finish button is enabled. Click the Finish button to close the Design XPress Project Wizard. At this
point, Design XPress generates the NetLinx code for the system according to your specification in
the Wizard.
1. When you click the Finish button, the Design XPress - Save As dialog appears, giving you two
save options for the project:
2. Once you have selected a Save As option, a dialog (FIG. 24) appears prompting you to select
the NetLinx Platform (Master Controller) that will be used to control this system. The choices
are NI-2000, NI 3000, NI 4000 and NXC-ME260/64 + NXI. Some of these options may be
disabled, based on the specifications and requirements of the Project.
3. Once you have selected a NetLinx Platform, click OK to compile all of the data from the
wizard and build the NetLinx Program and touch panel files.
4. When completed, a dialog is displayed indicating that the project was created successfully.
This dialog also gives you the option of viewing the project report (Report.html) and opening
the project in NetLinx Studio.
5. Click OK to save changes, close the current project and return to the Main Screen.
Un-named presets will be displayed on the touch panel as blank buttons and can be
named directly on the touch panel.
• Save As New Saves the project as a new revision (the current revision number is incre-
mented by 1).
