New Project Properties

Project Properties are important job related information such as the job name, job number, revision number, address and site contact information.

When saved, the LightDesigner project "Filename" is derived from the job name, job number, and revision specified in these properties.

The job name is required before the wizard will allow progression through to the next display. The job number and revision are optional, but when supplied are a suffix to the Filename. A project saves as a *.pcf file type.

TIP: Changing the revision number (from the Property Editor) at any time after the project is created will display a "Save as" dialog, allowing multiple revisions of the same configuration.

Choosing the nearest city from the drop down box will assist LightDesigner's integration of the Astronomical Timeclock settings for the configuration. If :" Manual Coordinates " is selected, you will be required to provide specific coordinates in the Property Editor once you begin configuration for the project.

The remaining data fields are optional but are also important as they are saved with the configuration and are uploaded to the Paradigm ACP for reference in the processor "Project Information" display found in the {About} menu.

"Date" and "Software Version" fields are read only. "Filename" displays the directory path where the new project will save. To change the directory, click the [...] button to the right of the path.

Click [Next] to progress to the next phase of the wizard, Processor Properties and Data Import.
