5.1.8 Step 7: (Optional) Add Project

Project Name	Enter the additional project name. The name will be appended with .X by convention. See the Project Folder text box.
Project Location	Browse to a folder location. For more information, see 5.1.7 Step 6: Select Project Name and Folder.
Project Folder	The project folder consists of the project location (path) and project name.
Family	To narrow down Device selection, choose a device family from the drop-down list.
Device	Choose a device from the drop-down list. For Dual-Core secondary projects, select the “S1” version of the device. For more information, see 5.1.3 Step 2: Select Device (and Tool).
Compiler	Select the language tool, either a C compiler or an assembler. For more information, see 5.1.6 Step 5: Select Compiler.
Overwrite existing project	If the Project Folder matches an existing project folder, this selection will become active. Check to overwrite the existing project with the new project. Uncheck to display a warning and not allow project completion until a new project folder - project name and/or location - has been selected.
Also delete sources	If Overwrite existing project is checked, this selection will become active. Check to delete previous project’s source files. Uncheck to leave previous project’s source files.
Set as main project	Specify this project as your main project
Open MCC on Finish	Open project in MPLAB Code Configurator when created.
Group Projects	Place this project and the previous one into a Group of Projects. See 6.3.9 Group of Projects.
Use project location as the project folder	Create the project in the same folder as the project location. This is useful if you are importing an MPLAB IDE v8 project and want to maintain the same folder for your MPLAB X IDE project (as when you want the build to be the same). MPLAB X IDE uses a folder to store project information whereas MPLAB IDE v8 uses a `.mcp` file. Therefore you can only have one MPLAB X IDE project share a folder with an MPLAB IDE v8 project (`.mcp` file).
Group Name	Enter the name of the group. This group will consist of the projects from Step 8 and 9.
Group Location	Browse to a folder location.
Group Folder	The group folder consists of the group location (path) and group name.

Set as main project

Specify this project as your main project

Open MCC on Finish

Open project in MPLAB Code Configurator when created.

Group Projects

Place this project and the previous one into a Group of Projects. See 6.3.9 Group of Projects.

Use project location as the project folder

Create the project in the same folder as the project location.

This is useful if you are importing an MPLAB IDE v8 project and want to maintain the same folder for your MPLAB X IDE project (as when you want the build to be the same).

MPLAB X IDE uses a folder to store project information whereas MPLAB IDE v8 uses a .mcp file. Therefore you can only have one MPLAB X IDE project share a folder with an MPLAB IDE v8 project (.mcp file).

Group Name

Enter the name of the group. This group will consist of the projects from Step 8 and 9.

Group Location

Browse to a folder location.

Group Folder

The group folder consists of the group location (path) and group name.
