Configuring a Project

You can configure IDE settings individually for each of your projects.

To configure a setting for the current project:

  1. Choose Tools and choose Options.
  2. Click the Show Levels (<<) cell to display the settings levels.
  3. In the left pane, navigate to the node you want to configure and select that node.
  4. Locate the cell corresponding to the node you have selected and the Project column. Then click the cell and choose Define Here.

    Some settings are automatically defined at the Project level when you change their default values. These settings include settings for filesystems, compiling, execution, and debugging.

  5. Make necessary changes to the settings in the property sheet.
  6. The changes that you make apply only to the current project.

Tip There is no Save Project command like there was in previous versions of the IDE. All changes to project settings are saved automatically, so this command is unnecessary.

For further information on using the Options window, see Using the Options Window.
