Project file (.mul)
Project Workspace data is stored in one folder called the project folder. Project
folders are created for the following commands.
• File – New
When a new project is created, the project name will be used as the folder
name.
• File – Save As
When a project is saved under a new name, the new project name will be used
as the folder name.
The CX-Process Tool creates a folder with the project name in the data folder
under the default installation folder for the CX-Process Tool, and then creates
the following files inside the project folder.
The project file consists of administrative data for the Project Workspace.
