The document is open as a tabbed document in the design editor window. Some document icons that you might encounter when working on this tutorial project and their meanings are listed below. This provides a quick visual summary of which documents are modified, saved, and their version control status.
When this is complete, a small green check will appear next to the project filename in the Projects panel which means that the local working copy of the project file and its counterpart in the Workspace are fully synchronized.ĭocument entries in the Projects panel are accompanied by icons that indicate their open/modified/version control status. A status dialog will open while the file is written to the version control repository. Add a meaningful comment describing the change into the Comment field (e.g., Initial saving of the new PCB project), then click the OK button. Confirm that the file Multivibrator.PrjPcb is checked. To commit the project, click the Save to Server control next to the project name in the Projects panel. This indicates that it has been added to the Workspace's version control system (VCS) but is yet to be committed (saved).
The project will display a small blue cross next to its name. If this panel is not displayed, click the button at the bottom right of the design space, and select Project from the menu that appears. The new project will appear in the Projects panel. This will take a few moments, as the project is created in the Workspace and the working folder (as specified in the Local Storage field). Click Create to close the dialog and create the project. A folder of the same name as the project will automatically be created in this location, and the working copy of the project file will be saved in it. In the Local Storage field, select a suitable location to store the working copy of the project. The default is to have a Projects folder in the Workspace. The Folder field defines the name of the folder in the Workspace where your project files are to be stored. Enter a suitable description in the Description field, e.g., Simple multivibrator design for the tutorial. Enter a suitable name in the Project Name field, e.g., Multivibrator. In the image above, the Workspace is named Company Workspace. Select the required Workspace in the list of Locations. Select File » New » Project from the main menus. Connect to your Workspace if not already.
