Project Setup
Organize work into projects, automate startup and shutdown, find frequent tasks, reuse
standard template settings
Projects help you to organize large modeling projects by finding required files, managing and sharing files and settings, and interacting with source control. See What Are Projects? and watch Using Projects to Collaborate, Track, and Merge Changes and Perform Code Reviews (4 min, 50 sec).
Functions
Topics
Project Creation
- Create a New Project from a Folder
Automatic project creation: Easily turn a folder to a project and manage your files, data, and environment in one place. - Create a Project from a Model
Create a project to organize your model and any dependent files. Simulink® runs dependency analysis on your model to identify required files and a project root location that contains all dependencies. - Add Files to the Project
Add files in the project files view or programmatically. - Create a New Project from an Archived Project
Create a new project from an archived project. - Create a New Project Using Templates
In a project, use templates to create and reuse a standard project structure. - Open Recent Projects
Open recent projects from MATLAB® or Simulink. - Specify Project Details, Startup Folder, and Derived Files Folders
View and edit details such as the name, description, project root, startup folder, and generated files folders. - Explore Project Tools with the Airframe Project
Try an example project to see how the tools can help you organize your work. - Set MATLAB Projects Preferences
Specify project definition files type, detect project files shadowed by open models, and detect project-wide references when renaming, removing and deleting files.
Startup and Shutdown Automation
- Specify Project Path
The project can manage your path automatically when you open and close projects. - Automate Startup Tasks
In a project, startup files help you set up the environment for your project. - Automate Shutdown Tasks
In a project, shutdown files help you clean up the environment for the current project when you close it.
Frequent Task Shortcuts
- Create Shortcuts to Frequent Tasks
In a project, create shortcuts for common project tasks and to make it easy to find and access important files and operations. - Use Shortcuts to Find and Run Frequent Tasks
In a project, use shortcuts to make it easy for any project user to find and access important files and operations.
Project Template Creation
- Create Templates for Standard Project Settings
To reuse scripts and files for a standard project setup, create templates from projects, edit templates, or explore example templates.
About Projects
- What Are Projects?
Use projects to help you organize your work. Find all your required files; manage and share files, settings, and user-defined tasks; and interact with source control. - What Can You Do with Project Shortcuts?
In a project, use shortcuts to make it easy for any project user to find and access important files and operations. - Sharing Projects
Collaborate by sharing projects by email, archive file, template, MATLAB toolbox, or on GitHub®.
