The 
DaVinci Project Explorer supports you in managing your DaVinci Adaptive projects. The DaVinci Project Explorer provides corresponding commands in the context menu of a selected element for easy access to important functions.
For information on organizing DaVinci Adaptive projects, refer to section Project Collaboration.
DaVinci Adaptive Support
All projects displayed in the DaVinci Project Explorer have DaVinci Adaptive Support enabled. Refer to chapter Project Setup for information on how to create a new DaVinci Adaptive project or convert an existing C/C++ project into a DaVinci Adaptive project.
For projects with active DaVinci Adaptive Support, the following folders are created in the root folder of the DaVinci Adaptive project:
- Model project folder: This folder contains the AUTOSAR ARXML files of the project. If the prespecified name was used, this folder is named arxml.
- Scripts project folder: This folder contains the automation scripts that are specific for this project. If the prespecified name was used, this folder is named scripts.
The names of these DaVinci Adaptive-specific folders can be adjusted as follows:
- Existing Project: Use the Rename... context menu command of the respective folder in the DaVinci Project Explorer or Eclipse Project Explorer.
- New Project: When creating a new DaVinci Adaptive project, the new DaVinci Adaptive Project wizard (Project Setup) allows you to change the default folder names on the Basic Settings page.
- Converted Project: When converting a C/C++ project into a DaVinci Adaptive project, the Convert to DaVinci Adaptive Project wizard (Project Setup) allows you to change the default folder names on the Basic Settings page.
These DaVinci Adaptive-specific folders must be located on the root folder of the DaVinci Adaptive project.
Functionality
DaVinci Adaptive projects are displayed with additional elements in the DaVinci Project Explorer:
- The
Open Project Dashboard node is displayed directly below the project. Double click on this node to open the Project Home. - Expanding the
AUTOSAR element below each ARXML file in the arxml folder reveals the AUTOSAR model contents of that file directly in the DaVinci Project Explorer. - Open the context menu of an element in the DaVinci Project Explorer for a quick access to related functions.
Browsing the AUTOSAR Model
You can jump between elements in the DaVinci Project Explorer and AUTOSAR Model Explorer as follows:
- Jump from DaVinci Project Explorer to AUTOSAR Model Explorer:
Open the context menu of the AUTOSAR element in the DaVinci Project Explorer and click Open in AUTOSAR Model Explorer. - Focus element from AUTOSAR Model Explorer in DaVinci Project Explorer:
Activate the
[Link with Editor] button in the DaVinci Project Explorer to automatically focus the DaVinci Project Explorer on the elements selected in the AUTOSAR Model Explorer.
The Elements will be selected for loaded Projects. For all others only the File will be selected.
This is especially useful for finding out all ARXML files a given element is persisted in. - Go to AUTOSAR Element via Navigate Menu:
Select a DaVinci Adaptive project in the DaVinci Project Explorer and open the menu path Navigate|Go to AUTOSAR element. A dialog opens in which you can select the AUTOSAR element you want to navigate to in the AUTOSAR Model Explorer. You can filter all AUTOSAR elements using the quicktype filter above the table. In the table, activate the check box of the AUTOSAR element you want to navigate to. This AUTOSAR element is automatically focused in the AUTOSAR Model Explorer.
Refer to AUTOSAR Model Explorer for more information.
Deleting Elements
Elements can be deleted from the AUTOSAR model using the 
Delete command in the context menu of the element.
Deleting an element in the DaVinci Project Explorer will remove those parts of the element contributed by the corresponding file only. If the element is composed of contributions from multiple files, those contributions of other files remain part of the model.
