12.4.5 Project Window FAQ
How do I:
Create/Update a project?
See Section 4.3 “Creating/Updating any Project”.
Build a project?
Right click on the project in the workspace that you wish to build. In the menu, select
Build All to build the entire project or Make to recompile/reassemble any changed files
and then build.
The results of this build will be loaded into program memory, even if the selected project
is not the active project.
Use projects with workspaces?
See Chapter 4. “Projects and Workspaces”.
Set a project as active?
To set a project as the active project, select Project>Set Active
Project>project-
name.mcp, where projectname.mcp is the project name, or right click on the project
in the Project window and select Set As Active Project.
Add a project-specific data sheet?
To add files to the window, you may drag-and-drop the file from Windows Explorer to
Other Files, or right click on Other Files and select Add Files. Then double click the PDF
to open it. (This requires that a PDF reader be installed.)
