NetLinx Studio - Instruction Manual
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.
Alternatively, select File > Recent Workspace List to select from a list of recently opened Workspace Files.
Click File > Save Workspace to save the Workspace using the current filename and identifier.
Select File > Save Workspace As to save the file under a new name. If you save the Workspace under a
different name, the program will ask you whether you want to change the Workspace Identifier (the name that
appears at the top of the Workspace tab of the Workspace Bar) to match the new filename (FIG. 35).
Import an existing Project (see below)
Create a new Project, and import it into the Workspace. See the Creating a New Project section on page 25 for
details.
Paste a Project from another Workspace (see the Copying and Pasting Projects section on page 26)
