New project from existing IOC file missing

sdobbie2 · ‎2026-06-02

I just updated cubeide today and the very important option to create a new project from an existing IOC file has been removed completely. This is essential to allow me to clone projects so I can make different revisions. Reinstate the feature or tell me where to find it.

Since v2.0.0, Project creation & configuration is now done by CubeMX as a separate, standalone application - no longer within CubeIDE:

For the rationale & discussion, see: IDE Version 2.0.0 - why remove MX ?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
