Adds a new, empty scenario to the current project. Opens the Create a Scenario dialog that offers a choice of the Geographic wizard or creating a Schematic scenario. Select the type that is appropriate to your needs. Name your scenario and provide a brief description of its purpose and click OK. This command is a synonym for New Scenario (by menu) on the Project Explorer toolbar.  See Projects and scenarios - Scenarios.

Saves the current project, overwriting the existing file. Synonym for Save Project on the File toolbar. Implies File » Save As… if the project has never been saved.

Opens a standard save dialog which allows you to:

Source projects use the ".rsproj" extension.

This command is currently disabled. However, the Print buttons on the Schematic Editor and Geographic Editor toolbars may be used to print scenarios.

This command is currently disabled. However, the Print buttons on the Schematic Editor and Geographic Editor toolbars may be used to print scenarios. Clicking that button also provides a preview.

Opens the Import Scenario dialog where you can import scenarios from different projects. See Import and export of data - Importing scenarios.

This area contains a list of recently saved projects. You can re-open any project by choosing its name from the list in this area.

See Project Options.

Opens the Ownership Setup dialog where you can manage ownership in a scenario. See Ownership.

Opens the Resource Assessment Explorer dialog where you can configure Annual Accounting, Continuous Accounting and Continuous Sharing. This dialog is only available when a schematic scenario is active. See Resource assessment.

Opens the Configure Ordering Network Costs dialog, where you configure network costs for use with network linear programming ordering. Synonym for Network Costs… in the Ordering toolbar. See Network linear programming - Configuring optimisation.

Opens the Crop Parameters dialog where you can configure crops for use at the water user node. See Configuring generic crop settings.

Opens the Function Editor dialog where you can edit functions. See Functions - Function Editor.

Opens the Link Cross Sections dialog where you can assign a physical cross-section for generating link rating curves. See Cross Section Editor

Opens the Constituent Model Configuration dialog where you can assign and manage the constituent generation, filter, instream processing and storage processing models for all constituents in the scenario. See Constituents - Constituent model configuration.

Opens the Rainfall Runoff Model Configuration dialog where you can assign and work with rainfall runoff models. This dialog is only available when a catchments scenario is active. See Rainfall runoff models.

Opens the Demand Constraints dialog where you can view all configured demand constraints. See Water user node - Demand constraints.

Opens the Feature Table dialog where you view parameters for each of the configured nodes in the scenario. See Feature Table.

Opens the Recorder Sets dialog where you can create and manage recorder sets. See Recorder Sets

Opens the Scenario Input Sets dialog where you can create and manage scenario input sets. See Scenario Input Sets.

Restores the default arrangement of Source windows. Requires an active scenario. Affects the Node Palette, and the Geographic, Schematic and Tabular editors. If an affected window is undocked, it will be re-docked. If an affected window was auto-hidden, that feature will be turned off. Any affected window that has been moved will be restored to its default location.
