File > New
🧾 What it does
The File > New command clears your current job and opens a fresh workspace for starting a new roofing project. This gives you a blank drawing area with default settings to begin your next estimate or design.
🔧 How to create a new job
Click File in the menu bar
Select New from the dropdown menu
If you have unsaved work in your current job, AppliCad will prompt you to save it first
Click Yes to save your current work, No to discard changes, or Cancel to return to your current job
Your new workspace will open with a blank drawing area ready for your next project
💡 When to use File > New
Create a new job when you're starting:
A completely new roofing project for a different customer
A separate quote or estimate
Fresh work that isn't related to your current job
⚠️ Important notes
Always save your current work before creating a new job. The File > New command will clear everything from your current workspace, and any unsaved drawings, measurements, or calculations will be lost if you don't save first.
