Creating a New Project (Magic xpi 3.x)
To create a new project: 
- 
From the File menu, click New to open the New Project dialog box. 
 - 
Enter the project name. The project name cannot start with a number and cannot contain spaces or any special character. 
 - 
Select the required Project Data Encoding from the drop-down list. This determines the default encoding used for the output XML produced by the Data Mapper. The default is West European. (Since version: V3.2) 
 - 
If you want to use Source Management (Version Control) with your new project, select the Create project in Source Control database check box. 
 - 
Click OK to open the new project, or click Cancel to close the dialog box without saving your changes.

- 
After you have defined your project information, Magic xpi creates a new folder in the Magic xpi/Projects root directory. The folder uses the name you entered in the Name field of the Project Properties dialog box. 
 - 
When you set up a new project, Magic xpi checks to see if the name already exists. If the name is already in use, Magic xpi displays an error message prompting you to use a different name. 
 - 
You can save your projects by clicking the File menu and selecting Save. 
 - 
The Magic xpi Suite has keyboard shortcuts and a toolbar to simplify project creation.
