171 The following steps will show how to start PIStudio and create a project.
172
173 **Requirement**
174
175 PIStudio programming software is installed.
176
177 **Operating Procedure**
178
179 1. Start PISudio software by clicking icon, or from Start Menu.
180 1. Find " PISudio" folder.
181 1. Click " PISudio" icon to start software.

198 [[image:新建工程 3.gif||class="img-thumbnail"]]
199
200 **Result**
201
202 * User could find a folder named HMIProject on the desktop.
203 * In the folder user could find a file with a suffix named ".pi". Double click the file to open the project.
204
205 == Add screen ==
206
207 The following steps will show how to create and rename screens in HMIEditorP.
208
209 New screens, which are still blank, could be created using the "Common object". User could choose different objects to design screen according to project's requirements.
210
211 **Requirement**
212
213 The "Quick_Start" project is open.
214
215 **Steps:**
216
217 1. Create a new process screen: Clicking "New" will appear "New screen" setting.
218
219 (% style="text-align:center" %)
220 [[image:PI3.jpg||alt="新建画面 1.gif" class="img-thumbnail"]]

244
245 **Result**
246
247 Do a project screen with a bit button, one chart display object, and one Function key for switching screen.
248
249 == Project size limits ==
250
251 * 3000 series limits the project file size to 25M
252 * 3070i series limit the project file size to 25M
253 * 3070ie series limit the project file size to 22M
254 * 3070ig series limit the project file size to 25M
