To Rename a Project

Do the following to give the current project a different name. The modules that comprise the current project will become part of a new project with a new name and the current project will no longer exist. See "To Save a Version of a Project " above if you want to save a version of the the current project.

  1. Choose Save Project As from the File menu of the App Builder primary window or Save As from the Project menu of the Project Organizer.

    The Save Project dialog box will be displayed, with the current project name in the Enter file name field.

  2. Modify the name or type in a new name in the Enter file name field.

  3. Click Save.

    A message dialog box will be displayed for each module in the project, telling you that the module exists and giving you the option to overwrite it or cancel the operation.

  4. Click Overwrite for each module if you want to rename the project and save the module.

    Click Cancel if you do not want to rename the project and overwrite the current module.

    If you click Overwrite for each of the modules the project will be renamed; the new project name will be displayed in the title bar of the App Builder primary window. The old project file (.bip suffix) will still be in the folder, but it will not be the active project file. If you generate code for the project and run make in the folder, the new project name will be used.
