This part of the tutorial shows how to create a new project, including how to give it a name and then select the target platform and system.
-
Go to File, and then click New.
The New dialog is displayed.
-
Click the Project tab, if it is not already selected.
-
In the Project name box, type the name of your project.
For this tutorial, type Tutorial.
The development application automatically creates a new directory of the same name and assigns your project file to that directory (as shown in the Configuration file text box in the figure). To put your project file somewhere other than in the default projects folder, click Browse and navigate to the preferred location.
-
In the Product type list, select the type of project that you want to build.
For this example, select Embedded AVEVA Edge 4K tags . This is a tag and feature-limited product type that can be safely deployed on embedded devices.


-
Click OK.
The New dialog is closed and the Project Wizard dialog is displayed.
-
In the Resolution list, select 1024 x 768.

-
Click OK.
The Project Wizard dialog is closed, the project is created in the development environment, and the Security System Configuration Wizard is displayed.

-
Use the Security System Configuration Wizard to set a Main Password for your project.
The security system is enabled by default for all new projects.
When you finish the Security System Configuration Wizard, your new project is ready for development.
