Edit

Add File

Displays the Project Properties dialog box to add files to the project.

Remove File

Removes the selected file from the project.

Load

Loads the compiled (FAS) file for the selected file in the Project Files list. If no FAS file exists, the AutoLISP source (LSP) file is loaded.

Check Syntax

Checks the syntax of the AutoLISP source code for the selected file.

Touch

Indicates that the selected files have been updated, but makes no change to the files. This causes Visual LISP to recompile these programs the next time you ask to compile all changed project files.

Arrange Files

Sorts the Project Files list, according to one of the available suboptions (load order, name, type, or date).

Multiple Selection

Allows for the selection of multiple files in the Project Files list. If this option is enabled, multiple selection is allowed.

[Un]Select All

Selects all files in the Project Files list, if none is currently selected. If any source files are currently selected, all selected files are deselected.

Close Project

Closes the project.

Note: Clicking the Close button on the Project window does not close the project; it only closes the Project window. Click the project name from the Project menu to display the Project window again.

Save Project As

Displays the Save Project As dialog box to save the project with a new name and location.
