14To start a new project, use the <b>New Modelica Project</b> Wizard. It is accesible through
15<b>File > New > Modelica Project</b>.
16After creating a project you can add files and folders to the project by selecting
17the corresponding wizard found in <b>File > New</b> menu subsection.
18Files having an extension <i>.mo</i> will be treated as Modelica source code files by MDT.

24To import an existing modelica project you need to create an empty modelica project and populate it
25with existing files. Create a new modelica project with the wizard. Use the file system import wizard
26on that project to copy the files to the project's folder. The import wizard is available by right
27clicking on the project in the <b>Modelica Projects</b> view and choosing <b>Import...</b> alternative.
