Create a project from the
Studio 5000
 launcher

The first step towards building a runtime application is creating a project. A
View Designer
 project includes the screens, controller references, and information about the target HMI device.
View Designer
 creates and uses the file extension .vpd for user-created projects. By default, projects are saved to <user>\My Documents\Studio 5000\Projects.
To create a project from the
Studio 5000
 launcher
  1. Start
    Studio 5000
     from the icon on the desktop.
  2. Select
    New Project
    .
  3. On the
    New Project
     dialog box, select the
    View
     tab.
    • In the
      Name
      box, type a name for the project, and click
      Finish
      .
      • The name must contain only numbers, letters, and underscores.
        • The name must not begin with a number, contain spaces, have more than one underscore in a row, or end with an underscore.
      • The name must not be a reserved keyword:

        TOD
        TRN
        TRUNC
        UNTIL
        WHILE
        XOR
      (optional) If multiple versions of
      View Designer
       are installed, to create a project using a different version, in the
      Version
      box, select a version. The
      Version
      box lists the versions of
      View Designer
       installed.
