(4)	Project Creation area

Set the project to create.

(a)	[Project name]

Directly enter the name of the project to create.

The entered project name is followed by the extension, ".mtpj" and this forms the project file name.

Remark

When the subproject is created, the entered project name is followed by the extension, ".mtsp" and forms the subproject name.

(b)

[Place]

Designate the location to create the project file by directly entering it with absolute path or selecting from the [Browse...] button.

The last designated location is shown in the box. "C:\Users\User name\Documents" is shown by default when the project is created for the first time.

Caution

The name of a network path cannot be used for [Place]. Assign the name of a path on a drive.

(c)

Button

Browse...

Opens the Browse For Folder dialog box.

When a folder is selected, an absolute path of the folder is shown in [Place].

(d)	[Make the project folder]

Use this check box to select whether to create a folder with the project name under the location specified in [Place].

The check box is selected by default.

(e)	Project file path

The full path of the project file (specified via [Project name] and [Place]) is shown.

Remark 1.

The number of characters that can be entered in [Project name] and [Place] is up to 259 both for the path name and file name together.

Remark 2.

When the input for [Project name] violates any restriction, the following messages are shown in the tooltip.

Message	Description

A subproject with the same ID has already been registered.	A subproject with the same ID has already been registered.
The subproject name is invalid. A subproject with the same name cannot be made in the location where the main project exists.	In the specified location there is already a main project with the same name (excluding extension).

Remark 3.

When the input for [Place] violates any restriction, the following messages are shown in the tooltip.

Message	Description
The folder name including the path is too long. Make it within 247 characters.	The folder name is more than 247 characters.
The file name including the path is too long. Make it within 259 characters.	The file name with the path is more than 259 characters.
The location where the project is to be created does not exist.	The folder creation was canceled or failed, so that a nonexistent folder has been specified.
The location for project creation is invalid. Enter characters that can be used as a path name.	The file name with the invalid path is designated. The characters, \, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, \|, cannot be used for the folder name.

Remark 4.

When the project name and the path name is too long to be shown in each text area, is displayed. The absolute path pops up when the mouse cursor is hovered over .

(5)	Pass project area

Set this area when reusing the file composition of the existing project (main or subproject) to create a new project.

Caution 1.

This area is not displayed when this dialog box is opened from the [Create New Multi-core Project] area on the Start panel.

Caution 2.

When you create a project, only the settings for the default debug tool will be imported.
In the RX family, however, internal processing is common to the emulator and simulator, so the settings are imported regardless of which debug tool is selected.

(a)	[Pass the file composition of an existing project to the new project]

Select this check box when reusing the file composition of the existing project to create a new project.

The check box is unselected by default.

The category of the file can be also reused.

Remark

The settings of the properties of the build tool are changed to those for the specified microcontroller. iodefine.h and the start-up source files of the specified microcontroller are copied as sample source files. For the start-up files, create a folder named "<device name after change>.nnn" (nnn = 000, 001, …) and copy them to that folder. The details of the changes are displayed in the Output panel.
If you have selected a microcontroller that has a different ROM size from that set in the source project, the differences between the ROM sizes may not be reflected in the value of the [Section start address] property on the [Link Options] tabbed page. Check the value of the [Section start address] property.

(b)	[Project to be passed]

Designate the name of the source project when diverting the file composition of the existing project to create a new project.

Designate the name of the source project by directly entering it with absolute path or selecting with the Open Project dialog box after pressing the [Browse...] button.
