Project Startup

Introduction

When the software is first run on a drawing, the creates a CSA Project and associates it to the drawing. Before connecting a CSD Project to the drawing, the user will be able to decide whether to proceed with the connection.

When a new CSA Project is started (clean drawing and first run of CSD) it is assigned a unique Project ID. This Project ID does not change, regardless of whether you copy/rename/saveas the drawing file (see option in Project Storage, below, about resetting the Project ID). The Project ID is used to track CSA data versions. CSA Data versions are created when a drawing is saved, closed and reopened.

The Project Storage command can be used to reset the Project ID for any drawing.
