You can use several techniques to change the current build target. This section describes the most common techniques:

• Using the Current Target pop-up menu
• Using the Targets view of the Project window
• Using the Set Default Target menu command

Figure 3.2 shows the Current Target pop-up menu. The name of the current build target appears in this menu. To change the current build target, select a new build target from the pop-up menu.

Figure 3.5 shows the Targets view. This view shows the build targets that belong to the active project.

The icon at left (an archery "target") appears beside each build target in the Targets view of the Project window. A build target with this icon is not the current build target.

The icon at left (a target with an arrow going into it) appears beside the current build target. Only one build target at a time has this icon.

To change the current build target, click the icon beside the desired build target. The build target whose icon you clicked becomes the current build target. The arrow appears in its icon.

You can set the current build target by using the Set Default Target menu command. Choose Project > Set Default Target to reveal a submenu of build targets in the active project. A check mark or bullet appears beside the current build target. To change the current build target, choose the desired build target from the submenu.

For example, you can use the menu command to switch among multiple build targets in a project. You might wish to switch the current build target in order to perform a different build.
