Chapter 2. Creating a Project

Since there are a large number of options available in the code generation process, ACGUI allows settings to be saved in project files for reuse. Project files can be created, opened, and saved from the Project menu. If no project file is explicitly used, a dummy project is implicitly created and can be saved to a file at a later time.

Creating a New Project

To create a new project file, select Project > New Project from the menu. The ASN1C Settings window is displayed.

The ASN1C Settings window contains standard tabs for Output, Function Generation, Constraints and Debugging, and Code Modifications. Additional tabs are loaded once an Application Language Type is selected on the Output tab.

Once all project settings have been defined, click OK.

Note

Details regarding the tabs and contents within the ASN1C Settings window can be found in the Interface topic of this guide.

Editing a Project

A project's settings can be changed at any time by navigating to Project > Project Settings.

Opening a Project

To open an existing project, navigate to Project > Open Project. Use the File Explorer window to navigate to the desired project and click Open. Recent projects can be accessed by navigating to Project > Recent projects and selecting the desired project from the list.

Once opened, project assets, such as ASN.1 schemas and generated source files, are visible in the Project pane.

Saving a Project

To save a project, navigate to Project > Save Project or Project > Save Project As.
