Working with Design Studio Menus

Design Studio has two types of menus: the Studio menu and the context menu. Both provide access to many of the same actions. The Studio menu is in the Design Studio Workbench menu—the menu that appears at the top of the Design Studio interface—and enables you to create new Design Studio entities. The context menu is accessed by right-clicking in a Design Studio view or editor, and enables you to configure Design Studio entities.

The Studio menu contains the following:

Menu Option	Use
New	Select to access: The five most recently used entity creation wizards, which enables you to quickly create additional entities of similar types. A list of Design Studio project creation actions, which enables you to create new Design Studio projects. A list of actions that enable you to create application-specific entities. An Other action, which enables you to create an entity of a different type within another project.
Show Environment Perspective	Select to switch to the Environment perspective.
Show Design Perspective	Select to switch to the Design perspective.
Guided Assistance	Select to open the Design Studio Guided Assistance dialog box, which provides a range of context-sensitive learning aides mapped to the editor or view in focus. See "Using Guided Assistance" for more information.
Import Studio Project	Select to import data from external sources into your Design Studio workspaces. See "Importing Projects" for more information.
Design Pattern	Select to apply a design pattern using the Design Pattern wizard. See "Working with Design Patterns" and Design Studio Developer's Guide for more information.
Deploy	Perform deploy actions directly from the Design perspective. This enables you to deploy cartridges without needing to switch to the Environment perspective. Additionally, you can select to access actions for Optimize Deploy. See "Deploying Cartridge Projects with Optimize Deploy" for more information.
