In Embarcadero RAD Studio, AQTime projects (.aqt files) are part of the AQTime project groups (.bdsproj files), which are simply containers for several AQTime projects. Before creating a new AQTime project you must first create and open an AQTime project group to which this project will belong.
To create a new AQTime project group:
-
Right-click the root element in the Project Manager panel and select Add New Project from the context menu, or select File > New > Other or Project > Add New Project from RAD Studio’s menu. This will call the New Items dialog.
-
In the dialog, select Profiling from the list on the left of the dialog, click AQTime Project Group on the right and click OK.
RAD Studio will create a new AQTime project group and display its contents in the Project Manager.
To create a new AQTime project in the opened AQTime project group:
-
Select File > New > Other from RAD Studio’s menu. This will call the New Items dialog.
-
In the dialog, select Profiling from the list on the left of the dialog, click AQTime Project Module on the right and click OK.
RAD Studio will add a new AQTime project to the opened AQTime project group and display its contents in the Project Manager.

The files that store profiling results reside in the project_name_Results subfolder of the project folder.
