#### 4.1.1.7. Starting and Running ACP

First, an ACP (Pre) component has to be defined in the Workbench project. Double-click on Setup to open ACP (Pre). You can also use the context menu and select Edit, or run a Python script in which the ACP commands are included, from the context menu. After defining the composite data in ACP (Pre), the user can return to the Workbench Project to proceed. The ACP data is saved with Save in the Workbench Project or any other Save Project command in the different components.
