Using the DXP-PRO Wizard

Launching the DXP-PRO Project Wizard

Design XPress - Professional (DXP-PRO) uses a Project Wizard to step you through the process of
designing and configuring a business-room oriented control system. This is done through the use of
configuration dialogs (described in the following sections).
There are three ways to approach launching the DXP-PRO Project Wizard:
This invokes the first Project Wizard dialog: System Information, containing a summary of the
system information for this project. If you are starting a new project, the Created By and Company
fields are pre-populated with the information entered in the User Information dialog at startup.
Also, there are two default devices (an A/V Switcher and a Video Projector) present in the Device
Information table, ready for you to configure (see the System Information topic for details).
To create a new project, click on the Create New Project command button. This launches the
Project Wizard, which steps you through the process of designing a control system.
When you create a new project, the Wizard dialogs become available as selections in
the Jump To list only after they have been populated with the required data. In this
case of the sample project, all Wizard dialogs are available since the project is
complete.
Some of the Project Wizard configuration dialog include:
Selecting a custom touch panel theme adds 3 more Choose Touch Panel...options to the Which
Screens dialog and to the Jump to drop-down menu

Select File > New.
Click the Create New Project command button (in the lower-left corner of the Main
Screen).
Double-click on the sample project ("DXP-PRO Sample Project") in the Project Selection
List.
At the lower-left corner of this and all Wizard dialogs is a drop-down list titled Jump To.
Click the down-arrow to open a list of all Wizard dialogs, and select any dialog from this
list to jump to that dialog.
Additionally, all of the dialogs in the Project Wizard have a set of Navigation Control
buttons along the bottom of the dialog to allow you move back and forth through the
wizard dialogs, and save or cancel your changes.
