There are two types of projects, georeferenced or local. Georeferenced projects have GIS based coordinates, normally in decimal degrees, and can be seen on basemaps.Whereas, local projects have coordinates in feet or meters and are not shown on basemaps.
Georeferenced Project
If the project is to be georeferenced, the area of the basemap where the project is located should be zoomed in on first before creating the project. To assign the project to a category or subcategory on the project tree, highlight the category or subcategory first and then create the project. To create a new georeferenced project either select File > New > Project > Georeferenced or click the New button on the main toolbar and select Project > Georeferenced.
After this you will need to specify the boundaries of the project on the basemap. To do this click the left mouse button at each of the points on the project boundary, then double click or right click when done. Projects can be square or polygonal. The New Project form will then be displayed. This form has four tabs for a georeferenced project as described in the sections below.
Local Project
To create a new local project either select File > New > Project > Local or click the New button on the main toolbar and select Project > Local. The New Project form will then be displayed. This form has three tabs for a local project as described in the sections below.
