## Working with MSVC Projects

### Specifying the MSVC Project File

As a substitute, or as an augmentation, to whatever project settings you use you can also tell Understand for C++ to use the source, macro, and include path settings from an Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) Project file.

MSVC project files from versions 4,5, and 6 are supported.

Note that .dsw (workspace) files are not used. Just the .dsp (project) files.

### Specifying the MSVC Project

Specify theMSVC project to get project settings from on the MSVC tab of the Project Configuration Dialog:

Once set, the source files, macros and include paths from the MSVC project are used by Understand for C++. This is in addition to any project settings you may have configured on the other tabs.

Note that the other tabs settings for include path and macros take priority over the MSVC project synchronized versions. This permits you to take the bulk of the MSVC settings while selectively overriding as your needs require.
