Working with Multiple Projects

ReliaSoft desktop applications that use the current project explorer (i.e., Weibull++, BlockSim and Lambda Predict) can have multiple projects open at the same time. To enable this functionality, select the Allow multiple projects (project explorer) check box on the Common Settings page of the Application Setup.

Tip: There is a separate setting that controls the ability to have multiple projects open in XFMEA/RCM++/RBI.

Note that the icon shown beside each project indicates whether it is a public, private or reference project and, when applicable, whether it is locked or checked out.

In addition to the convenience of being able to view analyses from multiple projects, having multiple projects open allows you to transfer data between the projects quickly and easily. Specifically:
