A.3 STEP THREE: CREATE NEW PROJECT FILE
This step creates the actual project file including the path to that project. Ensure that
the radio box “Create New Project File” is selected and then click on the “Browse” button.
Browse to the desired location and enter the project name in the “File name” text
box. Click on “Save”. This will fill in the full path name in the project name text box. An
example is shown in Figure A-3.
Consult your lab instructor on the actual path to the local project folders.

A.4 STEP FOUR: ADD EXISTING PROJECT FILES
In this step we'll add any files that already exist for our project. For Lab 0, this includes
the following files:
• config_bits_pic24fj256gb110.inc
• p24fj256gb110.gld
• lab0-intro.s
Browse to the default lab folder (see lab instructor for specific details) and highlight
these three files and click on the “Add>>” button to add them to the project. The files
can be selected individually with a discrete pressing of the “Add>>” button for each file.
The files can also be selected at once by holding down the “Ctrl” key on the keyboard
and then pressing “Add>>” button once to add all the files at once.
Click on the “Next” button to continue and then click on “Finish” to complete. The project
files are created. This includes a file with the extension.mcs that contains the project
settings, and a file with the extension.mcw that contains the workspace settings.
For best results, load the workspace and save its state to keep the window locations
and other configuration settings consistent between editing sessions.
