4. Working with Projects
Creating a new project
Choose Project › New, or press
Ctrl+N.Enter a name and choose where to save the project file.
Add your axes on the Axes tab. You need at least one axis before you can do anything else useful.
Connect your motors on the Connections view and link each motor to an axis.
Create a show on the Shows tab and start recording or importing motion.
Opening, saving, and backing up
Command | Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Open |
| Opens an existing project file. |
Save |
| Saves the current project to its existing file. |
Save As |
| Saves the project under a new name and continues working in the new file. |
Save Backup |
| Writes a backup copy without changing the file you are currently editing. |
Tip. Use Save Backup before a big edit or before a show runs in front of an audience. It's the fastest way to create a known-good checkpoint you can fall back to.
Recent projects
The Project › Recent Projects submenu lists your most recent projects. Selecting one opens it immediately, skipping the file picker.
