How to create a new project in logi.CAD 3:

1. In menu File, select New and one of the provided project templates.
   To locate a particular project template: Enter a text into the field under Wizards to show only the project templates that match the entered text.

2. In the dialog, enter or select the project name and its location, then click Finish.

   No blanks or special characters in project name and location

   Make sure that there are no blanks or special characters (such as umlauts, e.g. ä, ö, ü) in a project name and no specials characters in the path. If anyway, logi.CAD 3 will not be able to load the application onto the PLC.
   For the paths and project names, letters A – Z or a – z, numbers 0 – 9, dots (character .), underlines (character _) and dashes (character -) are allowed. Examples for allowed project names: my.project, my-project, my_Project_01

   Do not create projects in the workspace

   Do not create the project in the workspace of logi.CAD 3 (in folder workspace of the installation folder of logi.CAD 3). Uncheck Use default location and enter another location.
   This ensures that projects will not be deleted by mistake – if you have to delete the workspace e.g. due to troubleshooting instructions.

   Result: The project is displayed within the view containing the projects/resources. Now you can edit the resources of this project or create new objects in it. Observe that your used target system might influence the usage of logi.CAD 3 (see "Properties and restrictions specific to the target system").

Another possibility to create a new project is:

1. In menu File or from the context menu within the view containing the projects/resources, select New and Project...

2. In the dialog, expand one of the categories, then select one of the provided project templates and click Next >.

3. On the next page, enter or select the project name and its location, then click Finish.
