Opening project files
Next we are going to talk about opening existing project files. There are two ways this can be done in
SONAR:
• Click the Open a Project button in the Quick Start dialog that is first presented when SONAR
starts.
•Select File > Open from the menu bar across the top of SONAR’s screen.
Let’s go ahead and try one of the above methods. Either of them will bring you to the Open dialog as
shown in the following figure. The Open dialog functions like any other file browsing dialog in
Microsoft Windows.
• The vertical navigation buttons let you jump to popular locations on your computer’s hard disk.
• The browsing pane lists all the project files and folders that are available in the selected folder.
•The Go to Folder dropdown list allows you to quickly move to commonly used folders for
project files in SONAR. Typically, you can get to your projects by selecting Project Files.
• For more detailed information about all of the options and functions in this dialog, click Help.
