Opening Workspace Files; Creating New (Empty) Workspace Files; Import An Existing Project - AMX NETLINX STUDIO V2.4 Instruction Manual

Working With Workspace Files
Other features of the Workspace file include:

Opening Workspace Files

1. Select Open Workspace from the File menu or the Workspace context menu (or click the
toolbar button) to open the Open Workspace dialog.
2. Use the options in this dialog to locate and select a Workspace (.APW).
3. Click Open to open the selected Workspace file.
Since you can only have one Workspace open at a time, the program will prompt you
to save any changes before closing the active Workspace and opening the selected
one.

Creating New (empty) Workspace Files

To create a new empty Workspace:
A new Workspace file is created. As indicated in the Workspace tab, this Workspace contains no
Projects/Systems. All Projects/Systems and associated files must be added manually.
To create a new Workspace with a Project and System, use the Workspace Wizard.

Import an Existing Project

You can import existing Projects into the active workspace, via the Import a Project option in the
Workspace context menu.
To import an existing Project into the active Workspace:
1. Right-click on the Workspace folder (in the Workspace tab of the Workspace window) and
select Import a Project from the Workspace context menu.
2. In the Open Workspace dialog, locate and select the Workspace (.APW) file that the Project
you want to import currently belongs to.
The same Project can be included in more than one Workspace file.
