Starting a New Project

This tutorial teaches you how to start a new project.

You can start a project in any drawing in a folder.

Open drawing M-1.0.

Start the Project​

  1. Run the Start New HVAC Project command. The Start New HVAC Project dialog box will open.
    Ribbon: DM HVAC→Utilities→  Start New HVAC Project
    Pulldown Menu: DM HVAC→Start New HVAC Project

  2. Press the button to close the dialog box.

The project database will be created and initialized. This process takes a moment. Once it is complete, you are ready to start working on your project.

The project database is named dm_hvac.dm. If you specify a Project Name, that is appended to the end of the file name. There can be only one project database in a folder. All of the drawing files in the folder share the same database.
