Overview
Every definition (circuit, container or colony) within a Blueprint project is contained in exactly one (.cdl) file. Blueprint provides a Visual Studio template for easily creating new Blueprint definitions.
Blueprint Definition Template
To create a new Blueprint definition you must perform the following steps:
- From the Solution Explorer, select the Cdl Circuitry filter and select Add -> New Item from the pop-up menu to display the Add New Item wizard.
- Select Code from the Categories list and then select Blueprint Definition from the Visual Studio installed templates list.
- Replace the default name (CctDefn1) with a name that describes the function of the circuit and select Add.
