Overview

Workspace files are created in NetLinx Studio and saved with the .APW file extension. Workspaces are represented by the top-level folder in the Workspace Bar (Workspace tab).

A Workspace contains one or more Projects. Each Project in turn can contain multiple Systems. Once created, you can re-open that Workspace file to recall the NetLinx Studio workspace exactly as it was when the Workspace file was created, including the Projects, Systems (and all related files) it contains.

All Projects, Systems and System files are linked to the Workspace, so that you can add and remove Projects and Systems without having to make copies of the files. Since all System files are linked to the Workspace, when you open a file for editing, you are opening and editing the actual file, not a local copy. In the event that the file is linked to multiple Systems, any changes made to the file will be reflected in every instance that the file is used.
