Project and Solution
From Mech-Viz 2.0.0, a Mech-Viz project must belong to a solution and cannot be used separately. You can create a solution in either Mech-Viz or Mech-Vision. The specific requirements are as follows.
-
The Mech-Viz and Mech-Vision projects used in conjunction must belong to the same solution.
-
A solution can contain several Mech-Vision projects, but at most one Mech-Viz project.
-
In the same solution, the Mech-Vision and Mech-Viz projects share the tool and target object configurations.
-
If the Mech-Vision project contains the Path Planning Step, the Mech-Viz project and the path planning tool in Mech-Vision cannot be opened together.

-
If a combined Mech-Vision project is available, please select the solution folder where the Mech-Vision project is located. Then the Mech-Viz project will be saved to the same solution folder where the Mech-Vision project belongs.
-
If you want to create a new solution with Mech-Viz, select other folders. The name of the selected folder will be used as the solution name.
-
Export Project to Solution
If the Mech-Vision and Mech-Viz projects used in conjunction are not in the same solution folder, you can move the Mech-Viz project to the solution where the Mech-Vision project belongs.

| Please note that the upgraded project cannot function normally and independently in older software versions, so make sure to back up the project in advance. |
After opening the Mech-Viz project, click and select the directory to save the solution.
-
If no related solution has been created in Mech-Vision, then select Current Directory and directly save the project as a solution there.
-
If a related solution has been created in Mech-Vision, select Other Directory and move the Mech-Viz project into the same solution folder as the Mech-Vision project.
