Changing a file type

When you create a file in the database, the file type is automatically added based on the extension. For example, a file called foo.c is given a type of csrc. However, sometimes you must change a file type, and this topic shows you how.

Procedure

  1. If you need to find a file, see Finding an object.
  2. Select a file that is a member of a modifiable project.
    Note: The file you are changing must be modifiable and a member of a single project.
  3. On the Edit menu, choose Change Type.
  4. In the Change Type dialog box, select the new type and click OK.

    The type changes unless the file is a member of other projects.
