How can I find out about project files and creating them?

• What is a project file?
  • A project file is composed of multiple documents
  • Documents would be displayed in a tree structure inside a project file
    

• What can be included into the project file?
  • DesignSpark Electrical files (e.g. cover page, Scheme drawings, etc.)
  • Supplementary documents such as Acrobat, Word and Excel files.

• How to view the project?
  • You can view all of projects in “Project Manager”.
  • “Project Manager” would be launched automatically when DesignSpark Electrical starts.
  • If not,
    1. Click “Projects Manager” in File tab of the top ribbon
    2. All projects would be shown in the Project Manager list
       

• How to create a new project?

1. Click “New” in the Project Manager
   
2. Select project template

• There is no limit to the number of projects you can create but each project can contain a maximum of 15 pages.
• Project Templates are predefined project that contains standard configuration, project data and documents.
