The commands which refer to entire project are found under the menu items 'File' and 'Project'.
'File' 'New'
Symbol:
With this command you create an empty project with the name "Untitled". This name must be changed
when saving.
'File' 'New from template'
Use this command to open any desired CoDeSys project as a "template" project. The dialog for
opening a project file will be available and the selected project will be opened with project name
"Unknown".
'File' 'Open'
Symbol:
With this command you open an already existing project. If a project has already been opened and

The dialog box for opening a file appears, and a project file with the extension "*.pro" or a library file
with the extension "*.lib" must be chosen. This file must already exist. It is not possible to create a
project with the command "Open".
