Import-Create New Project dialog

This dialog is used to create or open a project when you import a file with no project open. A project can be thought of as a container that holds all work related to a particular design.

To access this dialog, close the current project, click Application button, and then click Import (Open > Import). Create or open a project, and then continue to locate and open the file to be imported.
