Renaming a Design

When you create a project, a design is created within the project. This design has the same name as the name of the project. However, you have the option to rename this design. Alternatively, you might have an existing design that you want to replicate and use as another design. Here too you can rename the design.

To rename a design

  1. In the Project manager, select the design (.DSN) file.
  2. From the File menu, choose Save As.
    The Save As dialog box displays.
    In this dialog, you specify an alternative name for the design.
    You can also specify an alternative directory location for the design.
  3. Enter a name for the design and click OK.

While using the Save As dialog box to rename the design, do not specify a dot (.) in the design file name.
