Project Conversion

Procedure

1. Import a project file.
   • On the MindStudio welcome page, click Open, select the project to be imported, and click OK.
   • On the MindStudio project page, choose File > Open... from the top menu bar or click on the menu bar to select an existing project and open it.
   

   If a project has code risks, the trust window is displayed when you open the project.

   • If the project source code is trusted and secure, click Trust Project. (You can select Trust projects in <workspace_directory> to trust all projects in the directory.)
   • If the project is not trusted and you only want to view the source code, click Preview in Safe Mode to preview the project in safe mode.
   • To cancel opening the project, click Don't Open.
2. If there is already an active project in the window, a confirmation message is displayed.
   • Click This Window to open the newly created project in the current window.
   • Click New Window to open the newly created project in a new window.
3. Choose Ascend > Convert To Ascend Project from the top menu bar, as shown in Figure 1.
