Workspaces

The Local tab of the Browser contains a workspace to organize all your modeling and supporting files. You can create projects, models, and folders in a workspace. To add external files, drag and drop them from Windows Explorer.

We recommend that you save your workspace regularly:

To perform a standard save - select File > Save Workspace or right-click the workspace node in the Browser and select Save. You will be prompted to save any models that contain changes.
To save the workspace under another name - select File > Save Workspace As to open a standard Save As dialog, or right-click the workspace node in the Browser and select Save As. You will be prompted to save any models that contain changes.
To save the workspace and all the models it contains - select File > Save All, or click the Save All tool.

Note: Workspace files (*.sws) contain only the structure of the workspace. Deleting the workspace file in Windows Explorer will not delete any projects, models, or other referenced files.

To create a new workspace, simply close the current workspace by selecting File > Close Workspace. You will be prompted to save the workspace and any models that contain changes, and a new, empty workspace will open.

You can create multiple workspaces, but only one can be open at a time. To change workspace, select File > Open Workspace. You will be prompted to save the current workspace and any models that contain changes, and the selected workspace will open. The models contained in the workspace are not open by default.
