Create and Save Project

This section provides information on creating a new Mech-Vision project, saving the project, and the naming convention of project names.

Create New Projects

Create from Solution Library

Please refer to Create a new solution or project from Solution Library.

Create a New Blank Project

There are 3 ways to create a new blank project:

• After creating a new solution, create a new blank project in it.

• Select File ‣ New Project in the menu bar to create a new blank project.

• Use the shortcut Ctrl + N to create a new blank project.

Attention

You can only create a new project after creating a new solution.

Save Projects

You can save a single project in a solution or save all projects in the solution.

Save a Single Project

There are 2 ways to save a single project in a solution:

• Select File ‣ Save Project in the menu bar to save a single project.

• Click on the left end of the project toolbar or use the shortcut Ctrl + S to save a single project.

Save all Projects in the Solution

If you want to save all projects in a solution, select File ‣ Save Solution in the menu bar to save all projects in the solution.

Naming Convention of Project Names

The recommended naming convention of Mech-Vision projects is as shown below.

Components in the name	Description
Vis	In order to distinguish Mech-Vision projects from Mech-Viz projects (compulsory)
Object Name + Application Scenario	For example: CartonDepalletizing/DiscBrakeMachineTending/ElectricMotorAssembly/SpongeGluing/ParcelPicking
No. or the position of the Camera	Camera No.: 1#CrackDetection1#HeatTreating1# Camera Position: LeftCamera (Optional)
Specific or special function	Specific function: Category1WorkpieceRecognition/ReflectiveWorkpieceRecognition/BinDetection/ModelMaking Special function: PointCloudStitching/ImageStitchingFromTwoCameras (Optional)

The table below provides some example names.

Scenario	Example Name
Single Robot Cell + Single Camera	Vis-CartonDepalletizing
	Vis-DiscBrakeMachineTending
	Vis-ElectricMotorAssembly
	Vis-SpongeGluing
	Vis-ParcelPicking
Single Robot Cell + Multiple Cameras	Vis-WorkpieceMachineTending-LeftCamera
Multiple Robot Cells + Multiple Cameras	Vis-CrankshaftMachineTending-CrackDetection1#LeftCamera
Multiple Robot Cells + Multiple Cameras + Function	Vis-CrankshaftMachineTending-CrackDetection1#LeftCamera-PointCloudStitching
One camera in the robot cell is used to enable multiple functions	Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#LeftCamera-Category1WorkpieceRecognition
	Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#LeftCamera-Category2WorkpieceRecognition
	Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#LeftCamera-BinDetection
	Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#LeftCamera-ModelMaking
	Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#RightCamera-Category1WorkpieceRecognition
	Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#RightCamera-Category2WorkpieceRecognition

Attention

Please use camel case in word combinations. For example, Vis-ConnectingRodMachineTending.
