Save and Open Projects
From Flowcode Help
Opening a Flowcode Project
There are several ways of opening an existing Flowcode flowchart.
- Select 'File' menu then select 'Open Project' option (File > Open Project), or press Ctrl+O on your keyboard. This will allow you to browse for the file you want.
- Select 'File' menu then choose from the list of 'Recent Documents'.
- Double-click on a flowchart file in Windows Explorer to launch Flowcode and open the file.
- 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 left, above the ribbon menus 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.
