You have created directories, project files and their sub-files (*.pra, *.3db, etc.) in the Project selection dialog area.

You can make special settings for these on the subpages of the Settings tab.

In the following sections, the single subpages and fields are described in detail:

"Settings [Settings] " dialog area

"Settings [Settings] " dialog area
