## Working with MSVC Projects

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

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

Choose Project->Configure to open the Project Configuration dialog. In the MSVC tab, type or browse for the MSVC project file (.dsp, .dsw, .vcp, or .vcw) that contains project settings.

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 have configured on the other tabs.

If you sync with an MSVC workspace file, the default target is used because there is no mechanism for specifying targets for each .dsp project within a .dsw file.

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