In Fusion, you create projects to contain and organize your design data.
00:08
You may have a design that needs to be saved,
00:11
or you may have opened an existing sample and want to save it as a new design before you start experimenting.
00:17
For instance, this sample design is open, but since samples are read-only, any changes you make can only be saved as a new project.
00:26
From the Application bar, click Show Data Panel.
00:30
Next, click the Home icon at the top of the Data Panel.
00:35
Fusion creates a first project folder for you, but you may want to store this design in a new project folder.
00:42
To do this, click New Project.
00:44
Add a project name, such as “My Lessons”.
00:48
Once created, double-click to open the folder.
00:52
Notice that the folder is empty, and the New Project icon now says New Folder.
00:58
If your project depends on many different models, you can create subfolders for each design.
01:03
This is a great way to keep your project organized.
01:07
Click New Folder and name it “Model 1”.
01:10
Then, double-click to open this subfolder.
01:13
Now, you can save your current design to this new folder.
01:17
From the Application bar, expand the File drop-down.
01:22
If this is a new design, you have an option to Save.
01:25
If this is an existing design or sample, you have an option to Save as.
01:30
Since this part is an existing sample, select Save as.
01:35
In the Save As dialog, set the name and location.
01:39
In this case, the same name is used, and the location is already set to the current location of My Lessons > Model 1.
01:46
Click Save.
01:48
A thumbnail image of the part appears in the Data Panel.
01:52
You can also create a new project or new folder on the fly while saving your design.
01:57
From the File drop-down, click Save As again, and in the Save As dialog, click the arrow next to the Location field to expand the dialog box.
02:06
Now, you can see all your projects here, plus options to create a New Project or New Folder.
02:12
Of course, you could also expand the dialog to navigate to a different folder before saving your design.
02:20
If you have many projects, your newest project may appear far down in the list in the Data Panel.
02:26
Locate and place the pointer over your newly created My Lessons project,
02:30
then click Pin to make sure that this project is always located at the top of your list.
02:36
This enables quick access to your most important projects.
