Opens a standard Windows File Create dialog allowing you to navigate your disk drives and specify the name of the Project File to create. ![](https://3283832020-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FiBJmBoewuy4ZcBC7RF3m%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1853172adeab0c1cc988eda41c753df12a626c8f%2Fclip0128_was_BMP.jpg?alt=media) **Close Project:** Closes the currently open Project File (making sure any unsaved data is purged). **Print Setup:** Displays a typical Windows Printer Selection dialog to specify the printer to be used for this work session. ![](https://3283832020-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FiBJmBoewuy4ZcBC7RF3m%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-bc9033256bac470fb041781e68fea4b9a7293c37%2Fclip0129_was_BMP.jpg?alt=media) **Print Project:** Opens the [Project Printing](/docs/sel-user-manual/project-manager/project-printing.md) Manager. **Regenerate Reports:** This selection is used to regenerate printouts so they will be updated and displayed correctly in the Project Printing Manager. It can be used any time the following information has changed: * Project Information in the GENERAL Division of the Project Manager for the currently open Project File * Title block information filled in using **Settings > Printing & Title Block** from the main menu There is also a third situation where this command can come in handy. When running in Evaluation mode, the software adds a watermark on the background of all printouts. This watermark says "Evaluation Version" and "Unlicensed Usage", so the report is inconvenient to use for submittal purposes. When the user later runs the software in Licensed mode, those reports with the "Evaluation Version" watermark remain in the Project File until they are reopened and saved. This can be a laborious process if the Project File contains many calculations. So the easier way to remove the watermarks in one pass is to use the Regenerate Reports command. When you click **File > Regenerate Reports > All**, the program will automatically save and close any open calculations. Then the program will show a progress window as it regenerates all the reports in your Project File: ![](https://3283832020-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FiBJmBoewuy4ZcBC7RF3m%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-db7cb0d28c044a9cb5571499a88cab8ed0ffb1e4%2Fclip0131_was_BMP.jpg?alt=media) **Exit:** Offers the option to save any pending work, then closes the currently open Project File, and exits the software. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://enercalc.com/docs/sel-user-manual/main-menu/file-menu-item-2.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
