Right-click on any Project folder (in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Window) to open the
Project Folder context menu. This context menu contains various Project -level commands and
options, including:
New Project Opens the New Project Properties dialog. The options in this dialog
allow you to specify information for the new Project, including Project
Identifier, Dealer, Sales Order, Designer, Purchase Order and
Description.
Delete Project Deletes the selected Project from the Workspace. This option does
not delete the Project or its associated files from the disk.
Build Project Builds (compiles) the Project (including all contained Systems and
System files). The progress and results of the build can be viewed in
the Status tab of the Output Display window.

(within the same Workspace only), via the Paste Project command in
the Workspace context menu.

Identifier, System ID, and Description for a new System. The System
Properties dialog also contains options that allow you to set custom
communication settings for the new system. Once created, the new
system is added to the Project.
Import a System Opens the Open Workspace dialog, where you can locate and select
the Workspace (.APW) file that contains the System you want to
import into the Project. Once you select an APW file, the Import Com-
ponents From a Workspace dialog is invoked. Use this dialog to select
specific Systems contained in the selected Workspace.

selecting Copy Selected System from the System context menu, then
opening the target Project, and selecting the Paste System command.

basic properties of the Project (Project Identifier, Dealer, Sales Order,
Designer, Purchase Order and Description).
