# Create C++ classes

To create a C++ header and source file for a new class that you can add to a C++ project:

1. Select File > New File > C++ Class Wizard > Choose.
2. Specify the class name, base class, and header and source files for the class.

The wizard supports namespaces. To use a namespace, enter a qualified class name in the Class name field. For example: `MyNamespace::MySubNamespace::MyClass`. The wizard suggests existing namespaces and class names as you type.

You can also create your own project and class wizards.

## Set file naming preferences

The names of the header and source file are based on the class name. To change the default suffix of a file, select Edit > Preferences > C++ > File Naming.

In the License template field, enter predefined wizard variables to specify the path and filename of the license to use in the source and header files.
