2.2.  Create new project

  1. Use the context menu command to create a new folder cap_nut_2 at any location (here as an example at training/beginner/solutions).

  2. Use the secondary mouse button to call up the context menu of the folder and click New project.

    -> The same named dialog box is opened.

  3. Enter the name of the new project and select the option Template for 3D project (list box) under Template.

    -> The new project cap_nut_2.prj is pasted in the PARTproject directory tree.

    Because of the chosen Template, blank files for Geometry (cap_nut_2.3db) and Table (cap_nut_2.tab) are already available. Both files still have to be given some content.

  4. First click on the name of the geometry file cap_nut.3db.

    -> Settings dialog area: No preview [Preview] of the geometry is currently visible.

  5. To PARTdesigner click on the Edit button.

    -> As the file is still without content, you will be asked in the Edit file dialog box whether it should be created.

    The Transfer variables from table [Use variable from table] radio button is not relevant as no table exists from which you could transfer variables.

    Click OK.

    -> Create tab file?

  6. Click Yes.

    -> PARTdesigner is started.

    3D view and table are still empty.
