uV3: Automated new project creation

Gary Lynch

Today I created 6 new projects to run under uVision 3.
Every time I had to:

  • Open a new file and name it,
  • Select a target manufacturer and device,
  • Rename the 'Target' and 'Source group 1' to names that
    mean something to me,
  • Open the 'Components, Environment and Books' dialog box,
    create several groups that I need, add files to them,
  • Open the 'Options for Target ...' dialog box, navigate
    through the tabs, changing settings all over the place,
    to get the environment I want.

All these initialization tasks are pretty much the same
thing every time. I can find no mention in the
documentation of a way to automate it, or create a template
that will allow me to override the default settings, or even
clone an old project file to steal its settings.

Has anyone pulled this off?

Thanks.

    "With uv2, I'd cheat, and edit the .uv2 file."

    I believe that uVision-3 uses exactly the same .uv2 and .opt files as uVision-2.

    I think that some of the settings mentioned by the OP would be in the .opt file.

    I'm sure I've mentioned this one before - it would be really useful to set up one's own set of defaults for all new projects.

    The closest I came was to create a "skeleton" project with the required settings (and directory structure) and then copy & rename the .uv2 and .opt files (and directory structure).
