Workspace Files
ConceptDraw lets you save the entire workspace if you need to work with the same set of documents and libraries often.
A workspace file stores information about the sizes and arrangement of all windows open in the application, and the list of open documents and libraries. This allows you to customize your working environment only once and use it repeatedly.
Workspace files have the .cdw extension.
Saving a workspace is especially helpful in several cases:
When you often work with the same set of documents and libraries.
When you work with documents displayed in a specific way (this may concern magnification, tables of shape parameters, the active pages of documents, etc.) Saving a workspace lets you easily reproduce the suitable arrangement of windows.
To open a workspace file:
- On the File menu, click Open.
- Select the workspace file you want to open.
- Click Open.
To save the current state of the application in a workspace file:
- If necessary, save all the open documents and libraries.
- Select Save Workspace from the File menu. The file dialog comes up.
- In the dialog, navigate to the desired folder where the new file will be located.
- Enter the workspace filename in the corresponding field.
- Click Save.
Also you can use the hotkey Ctrl + Alt + S
All information about the currently opened documents and libraries and their look and on-screen arrangement will be saved in the workspace file.
When moving a workspace file from one computer to another, keep in mind that a workspace file only stores references to the documents and libraries. So, you ought to move all the necessary documents and library files along with the workspace. Make sure that the workspace file and the required components keep their relative positions with respect to one another. Alternatively, you can place the documents and library files in the same folder with the workspace file.
