Hello, I installed STM32CubeIDE and attempted to set up my first project as you can see in the three attachments.
Based on YouTube videos, I expected to see the MCU outline so I can assign functions to the pins. As you can see in one of the screenshots, I'm getting a message stating that "There is no active editor that provides an outline"
I did the following to try and address this, with no luck...
* Uninstalled and Reinstalled STM32CubeIDE, including manually deleting folders that were not removed by the automated removal process. To be safe, I used a different project folder name but this didn't help.
* Installed STM32 on a second Windows 11 laptop but saw the exact same problem
I didn't bother trying older versions of STM32CubeIDE because I read in a different post that this did not solve the problem for the other user.
Any help is appreciated.
