419 — Opening a project

Band 400 · cv-web

Note

This lesson also exists in the browser. Work it in ConstructiVision on the web — same steps, same values, so you can follow either and end up with the same panel.

Getting there

File → Open Project.

What you see

Each project is listed with enough to tell them apart without opening one:

Name	what you called it
Panels	how big the job is — the sample building carries 60
Date	when it was last saved

Choose one and press Open. It loads into the same editor you have been working in. Cancel leaves your current work untouched.

Why this is not just a file picker

Projects are kept against your organisation, not against this browser or this machine. That has one consequence worth knowing before you need it:

the person who opens a project does not have to be the person who saved it.

Someone else on your organisation can pick up what you saved, from their own machine, without anyone sending a file. That is the reason projects live in the org rather than in a folder.
