Adding and Deleting Project files

Adding files to a Project

Typically, the files you add to your project will be files that have specific functions in the design process. For example, you might add a standard delay file to provide timing information for simulation with NC VHDL or some other simulation tool. However, you can add any files you want to a project, including documentation files (perhaps a functional specification) or waveform files (to show the results of a simulation).

To add a file to the project:

In project manager, select the folder to which you want to add a file.
Choose Edit – Project. The Add File to Project Folder dialog box displays.
Select the file you want to add and choose the Open button. The file is added to the project.
Alternatively, drag-and-drop the file from the Windows Explorer into the folder in the project manager.

You can also add files to your project interactively. When you create a design using the New command on the File menu, it is placed in the project manager Design Resources folder.

Deleting Files from a Project

You can delete files from your project just as you would delete files in Windows Explorer. That is, just select the file and press the Delete key.

To delete a file from the project:

In project manager, select the file you want to delete.
Press the Delete key. The file is removed from the project.

You cannot delete schematic pages or schematic folders if those schematic pages (or schematic pages within those folders) are currently open in Capture. You must first close the schematic pages in question.
Deleting schematic folders, schematic pages, parts and symbols is permanent. You cannot use the Undo command to bring back deleted items from the project manager.
