<h1>Managing AutoFOCUS3 Projects</h1>
<h2>Create Projects</h2>
<p> You can create new (empty) AF3-Project via:<br/>
<b>'File → New AF3-Project'</b>
</p>
<p>Afterwards, you will see a project named 'AF3-Project' in you <i>Model Navigator</i> View.
If you create a second empty project, you are asked for a new name for it.
</p>
<h2>Load Example Projects</h2>
<p>Each feature of AF3 is covered by one of our standard example models that can be loaded into the workspace automatically.
The Examples can be accessed through the menu: <b>'File → Open AF3 Example → ...'</b>.
If the example was already created before, you are asked for a new name for it.
</p>
<h2>Import & Export Projects</h2>
<p>
You can import <tt>*.af3_20</tt> files into your workspace, which are located in an arbitrary directory of your hard disc.
During the import, a <u>copy</u> of the file is put into your workspace.
(If you want your original file also to be updated, you should export the edited project later to the original location).
</p>
<p>If a file with an equal name already exists in your workspace, you are asked for another name.</p>
<p>
If you select a source-file for an import that is located in your workspace, a copy of the file is placed into the workspace.
Via this mechanism, you can easily make copies of existing projects.
</p>
<p>
To access the Import/Export functionality, see:<br/>
<b>'File → Import AF3-Project'</b><br/>
<b>'File → Export AF3-Project'</b><br/>
