Project Conversion
MindStudio IDE allows you to convert a non-Ascend project into an Ascend project.
Procedure
- Import a project file.
- On the MindStudio IDE welcome page, click Open, select the project to be imported, and click OK.
- In the upper left corner of the MindStudio IDE project page, click the
menu bar, choose from the top menu bar or click
on the toolbar, and select an existing project to 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.
- 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.
- Choose Ascend > Convert To Ascend Project from the top menu bar, as shown in Figure 1.
- The window shown in Figure 2 is displayed.
The parameters in the window are described as follows. Configure them based on the actual scenario.
- Click OK. The project directory is displayed in a tree structure. The Ascend project with the .project file is successfully created (subject to the actual creation result).
