+<h1>Project References</h1>
+
+<p>Project References are a powerful way of expressing dependencies between your CDT projects, allowing you to
+write modular software built with CDT's managedbuild.
+
+<p> Two main pages control project references:
+<ul>
+<li>
+<a href="../reference/cdt_u_prop_general_pns_ref.htm">Project References Page</a> under<br>
+<b>Right click > Properties > C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols</b>
+</li>
+<li>
+<a href="../reference/cdt_u_prop_general_exp.htm">Export Settings Page</a> under<br>
+<b>Right click > Properties > C/C++ General > Export Settings</b> <br>
+<i>If this page is missing, enable it under Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Property Page Settings </i>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The export settings page gives you fine grained control of which paths, preprocessor symbols, and
+library files are exported by a given project's configuration.
+<p>
+When another project's configuration, in the workspace, references a configuration with exported settings, those settings 
+are automatically propagated into the dependent project configuration.  CDT also ensures that referenced projects are
+built as a prerequisite for building dependent projects.
+<p>
+This functionality prevents you from needing to maintain and update the build settings manually between all the
+dependent projects in your workspace.  Simply configure the exported settings, setup the references, and the settings
+are propagated and kept in sync for you.
