Opening a NodeBuilder Project
To open an existing NodeBuilder project, you must first start the NodeBuilder Project Manager if it is
not already running. You can start the NodeBuilder Project Manager from the LonMaker tool, or
directly from the NodeBuilder program folder. You will typically start the project manager from the
LonMaker tool since that simplifies associating the NodeBuilder project with the LonMaker network.
Opening a NodeBuilder Project from the LonMaker Tool
You can open a NodeBuilder project by starting the NodeBuilder Project Manager from the LonMaker
tool. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Create or open a LonMaker drawing. See the LonMaker User’s Guide for more information on
creating and opening LonMaker drawings. If you plan on downloading your device application to
your device, make sure the LonMaker computer is attached to the network.
2. Click LonMaker and then click NodeBuilder. The NodeBuilder Project Manager starts. If you
have not previously created a NodeBuilder project for this network, the New Project wizard
automatically starts with the NodeBuilder Project dialog displayed.
Note: If you have previously created a NodeBuilder project for this network, the default project
for the network opens. To open a different project, click File, click Open Project, and then skip
to step 4.
3. In the NodeBuilder Project dialog, select the Open an Existing NodeBuilder Project option and
then click Next.
