When you have created a project based on a template project, these settings are initially taken from this project. You
can change them, if necessary.
NOTE The project sheet set template is defined during the creation of the project; either it is the same sheet set template
used in the template project, or, if you have chosen to create a new project without using a template, it is the default project
sheet set template defined in
“ Setting the Default Project Options ” on page 161 . It is not displayed here.
Defining General Properties
Use this procedure to define or change general properties for the project, such as the name and number of the project
and paths for constructs, elements, views, and sheets. For more information about paths for constructs, elements, views,
and sheets, see “
Specifying the Location of Top-Level Categories ” on page 214.

Description Property
The project number is defined when you create the project. You can enter a
new number here.
NOTE You can set up the project so that the project number is added as a
prefix to each project drawing created in the project. If you change the project
number during the project lifecycle, only new drawings will show the changed
number in the file prefix; existing drawings will retain the original number
prefix.
