Add a project (.stp) to your workspace
Click on the New Project icon and then OK. This launches the New Project wizard as
shown in Figure 56. In this window you will enter all of the information required to create the
project including:
● A project name in the Project Filename field.
● The path name where you want to store the project and the resulting files in the Project
Location field. The path for the workspace is used by default.
● The toolset to use when building and the path for the toolset.
Figure 56. Project parameters
When you click on OK, the project (filename.stp) is added to the workspace in the STVD
Workspace window. By default, the project contains folders called Source Files, Include
Files and External Dependencies. These folders are used to organize your project within
STVD. They do not exist in the working directory. Other files may be added to the project
folders automatically based on your toolset’s default settings. STVD will change these
according to your project build settings and your application.
Figure 57. Default project contents
When you save your workspace, the working directory is updated with the project file and
two folders: Debug and Release. These folders are the default locations for storing your
application executable and any intermediate files depending on whether you build using the
Debug or Release configuration.
