<h3>Project</h3>

<p>
The programme can be used outside the project or within the project. When working within the project, you can come back to the calculation and design of the valve. The project can also be saved and reopened later.
</p>

<p>
<b>Working outside the project</b><br>
Chose the required calculation (or design) from the main menu (1), or click on one of the calculation buttons on the main toolbar (2). When the appropriate window opens, enter the input data, perform calculation, or the subsequent design. You can print out the result. Close the working windows again. The entire session is completed.
</p>


<p>
<b>Working within the project</b><br>
Open the calculation in the same way, but push "Add to project" button (3) on the calculation (project) window toolbar. You will be prompted to enter the name under which it is identified in the project. After that, the calculation will be shown as an item (5) in the "Project" field (4).
The other option is to click the right mouse button in the “Content” area in the project field (6). Select "Add" -> and the required type of calculation in the displayed menu.
</p>

<h4>
"Project" window (4)
</h4>

<p>
Project is a special window for all items that the user has added to the project. This window is "always at the top" and if it is not displayed, click on "Project field" (7) on the main toolbar. 
The upper part of "Content" (6) shows the items that are included in the project. You can sort out these items into folders, move, rename or delete them, as necessary. The items and entire folders can be copied to create revisions or alternative designs.
</p>

<p>
The bottom of the "Outputs" (8) shows the items that the user has sent as output (from the calculation, design). These can then be printed out or exported in bulk.
</p>

<h4>
New project and saving a project
</h4>

<p>
<b>Having started the programme, you can proceed in two ways</b><br>
<b>1.</b> You can start counting and designing valves, add to the project, etc., and when you want to save the project, select "File -> Save" in the main menu. You will now be prompted to enter the name and location to save the project.<br>
<b>2.</b> First select "File -> New project" from the main menu. A field for entering the name and location of the project will be shown. This information will be used for saving. The programme will always offer a location of the project in "Documents/LDM" folder and a subfolder with a name comprising the current date, e.g. "...Documents/LDM/2013_25_10/". You can also choose a different folder, of course, or you can use "Save As" to save the project.<br><br>

When saving the project, it is saved in the current state; the content of the “Project” field as well as currently displayed calculation and design fields are saved.
</p>

<p>
One item in the project brings together the calculation and the design of the valve as well as the valve noise calculation (if performed). If the calculation field or design field of a valve which is included in the project is displayed, you can close it and then reopen it later. For viewing it again, right-click an item in "Project" field (5) and select "View -> Calculation", "View -> Design" or "View -> Noise".
</p>

<p>
<b>Note</b><br>
<i>
If you have designed the valve (you have made the calculation and design) and you want to move from the calculation field to the design field, do not use the "Design" button (9) at the bottom of the calculation field, unless you want to create a new design. Follow the procedure described in the previous paragraph to view the previously designed valve.
</i>
</p>

<p>
<b>An item in the project (4) can be</b><br>

- Designed valve (calculation, design, noise) (5)<br>
- Text document<br>
- External file<br>
</p>

<p>
All parts of the project are shown in "Project" field (4), "Content" (6). Along with the designed valves, it can also be a text file of rtf type that is edited in the integrated text editor and such text is saved in the project file. You can also add any other existing file to the project (external file). This can be a document of the following types: .doc, .pdf, .jpg, etc. These files are not saved together with the project, though, only a link to them is saved. Double-clicking on an external file will open it using a programme associated with its extension in the Windows system.<br>
Components are added to the project by clicking the right mouse button in the "Content" area (6) and selecting "Add ->".
