2. Creating and editing projects with PNTools2.1

The program implicitly supports three types of Petri nets:

- GPN (Generalized Petri nets),
- EvPN (Evaluative Petri nets),
- TB (Time-basic nets),

The first step before we start working with Petri nets is to open an existing or create a new project. PNTool2.1 window is displayed on picture bellow:

Open a project by clicking to "File/Open Project" in Main menu, then search for the project file in the computer. When you are creating a new project, you have to click to "File/New Project". A dialogue message will show up to enter the project name.

The new project is displayed in left side of the window. Adding new nets to project is realized by right clicking to the project (Pic. 2). The local menu also contains functions Open file, Save project, Close project, Close project, Rename project and Delete project. After choosing the required type of net, the user has to enter the name and accept the creation of new net. The local menu of net contains rename, delete, save and save as PNG. After these steps you can start to edit the nets. The system of edit is quite simple. The toolbox is presented on the picture bellow.
