Project Service
===============

The Project Service provides access to functionality to perform operations on windPRO projects like making a project, saving, exporting or loading.
Additionally, you can use it to set coordinate systems for you project.
Coordinate transformations can be done in the :ref:`services_windpro`.
Lastly, you can adjust your WAsP settings specific to your projects here.

Basic project tools
*******************

When working wind windPRO scripting, you will work on your projects through a scripting interface.
Therefore, we need to load proejcts into windPRO and export them.
You can either make a new project with ``ProjectService.NewProject`` or load an exisitng project or project export file with ``ProjectService.LoadFromFile``.
Saving the projects works via ``ProjectService.SaveToFile`` and exporting it with ``ProjectService.ExportToFile``.
For closing windPRO in your script you should can use ``ProjectService.CloseProject``.
Information of the coordinate porjection can be accessed and set with ``ProjectService.GetProjectData`` and ``ProjectService.SetProjectData``.
In the following some simple examples are given accessing general project functionality.

Setting coordinate systems
**************************
You can set the coordinate system for you project from the EPSG number with ``ProjectService.SetProjectCoorEPSG``.
This can be used if you need a specific coordinate system for your project.

WAsP parameters
***************

WAsP parameters can be changed from within windPRO.
All parameters that can be changed in WAsP are available from scripting.
This also includes some paramters that are not from the GUI.
Find below an example change WAsP parameters from a script.
