Save and Open Projects

Opening a Flowcode Project

There are several ways of opening an existing Flowcode flowchart.

1. Select the 'Open' option from the 'File' menu (File > Open), click on the 'Open' button from the main toolbar or press Ctrl+O on your keyboard. This will allow you to browse for the file you want.
2. Select the file from the list of most recently used files at the bottom of the 'File' menu.
3. Double click on a flowchart file in Windows Explorer to launch Flowcode and open the file.
4. Drag a file from Windows Explorer into the Flowcode application when it has no dialogue boxes open to load the file.

Saving a Flowcode Project

To save a flowchart, either select the 'Save' or 'Save As' options from the File Menu (File > Save / Save As), click the 'Save' button on the main toolbar or press Ctrl+S on the keyboard. Flowcharts must be saved before they can be compiled to C or transferred to a microcontroller.

Autosave

Flowcode has a built in auto-save feature built into it where it will save your project file periodically to a backup file labelled the same as your current project but with the .fcbx file suffix. You can set how often this autosave feature happens in the Global settings in Flowcode.
