These commands help you create and organize your automation projects. A project can contain multiple Sequence files.
Opens the project gallery to create a new AutomationView project. You pick a project template, then choose a target folder and a name. AutomationView scaffolds the folder structure and configuration files so that all other commands (emulation, export, diagnostics) work correctly.
To run this command:
The gallery lists project templates only. Sequence and machine templates are applied through the Templates view with Apply Template, not the gallery.
Creates a new Sequence file inside your project. A Sequence is the main program unit - it contains steps, transitions, and actions that define your sequential logic.
To run this command:
The new file opens automatically in the visual editor.
Creates a new file inside the current project folder. Use this when you need to add a file type other than a Sequence - for example a machine definition or a supporting configuration file. A picker lets you choose the file type and name.
To run this command:
Renames the currently active Sequence file and updates all internal references. This is safer than renaming the file directly in the file system because AutomationView updates any macro step or enclosing step that references this Sequence by name.
To run this command:
Rescans the project folder and rebuilds the project index. Use this after adding, removing, or moving files outside of AutomationView (for example, via the terminal or another editor).
To run this command:
Restarts the background Python language server that powers diagnostics, auto-completion, and the emulator. Use this if auto-completion stops responding or diagnostics appear stale.
To run this command:
This command does not affect any running emulation session.
