I receive the following question when opening X17 for the first time:
Should I enable this feature?
OR
How do I enable or disable Project Management, or switch back and forth between the two at any time?
Project Management is a feature introduced in Chief Architect X17, and it offers a number of advantages, including:
In order to perform these tasks, Chief Architect saves all of your projects (plans and layouts), user catalog, user settings (toolbars, hotkeys, preferences, etc.) into a hidden location on your computer's file system and assigns each file a unique hashed name. By doing this, these files are not easily accessible outside of the Chief Architect program, until they are exported. Instead, all of your files are accessed and managed directly within the program using the Project Browser and Asset Management dialog. To learn more about Project Management, please see the Related Articles section, along with your program's documentation.
If you are prompted with the question at the beginning of this article, click Yes to enable this functionality, or No to continue using Traditional File Management.
Project Management can be enabled or disabled at any time by accessing your Preferences.
