Congratulations, you have just created a new project in SONAR!
Opening project files
Next, we are going to cover how to open existing project files. There are two ways this can be
done in SONAR:
• Click the Open a Project button in the Quick Start dialog that is first presented when
SONAR starts.
• Select File > Open from the menu bar across the top of SONAR’s screen.
Let’s go ahead and try one of the above methods. Either of them will bring you to the Open
dialog as shown in the following figure. The Open dialog functions like any other file browsing
dialog in Microsoft Windows.
• The vertical navigation buttons let you jump to popular locations on your computer’s hard
disk.
• The browsing pane lists all the project files and folders that are available in the selected
folder.
