Directory

Define the path where the all the files related to this system will be stored in your environment. The files can be checked into a version control system such as git.

Project

A project contains the complete model of a system with all diagrams and types.

 

System

System is the root level item and it is represented in the system diagram from where the decomposition starts and system environment can be described.

Root Namespace

The root namespace set in this dialog will be used for the code generation.

 

The new project will be created as a directory with the given name inside of the selected directory. The initial screen displays the automatically created system of the just created project.
