Opening the shared project in the SOWE

First, you need to tell SNiFF+ that you intend to work in the SOWE. You do this in the Working Environments tool.

  • In the Launch Pad, choose Tools > Working Environments.

In the Working Environments tool
  1. To open a project in the SOWE, double-click on the SOWE entry in the Working Environments Tree. If you used the same names as we did, the full designation of the SOWE is:
    SOWE: Complex SOWE

    Click for full size, then use Back button

  2. In the Open Project dialog that appears, press the Update List button to display all the projects that can be opened in the SOWE.
    A dialog appears asking you whether SNiFF+ should also look in any accessed working environments for projects that can be opened in the SOWE. Here, the SOWE accesses the SSWE, so pressing Yes will also display the projects in the SSWE.
  3. Press Yes.
    The Open Project dialog on your screen should now look like this.
    For a description of the the dialog, move the mouse pointer over the dialog, and press the
    <F1> key.

    Click for full size, then use Back button

  4. To open the root project and all its subprojects, double-click on complex.shared .
  5. In the dialog that appears, press Yes.
    SNiFF+ informs you that it cannot find the directories of the shared project in the SOWE root directory (they haven't been created yet). You will now have SNiFF+ initialize your SOWE by copying the SSWE project directory structure into the SOWE.

    Click for full size, then use Back button

  6. Select the Repeat check box and then press Create Directory.
    Selecting Repeat saves you from having to press Create Directory for each new project directory.
    When SNiFF+ has finished initializing your SOWE, the project is automatically opened in it and displayed in the Project Editor.
  7. Close the Working Environments tool.
