Introduction to Workspace| mapping software

Workspace file is used to store users' working environment, including datasources, maps, layouts, symbol library, and line library and so on. The suffix is smw.

There can be only one workspace exists in AvisMap at one time. So if you want to open another workspace file, you should first close the current one.

There are four ways to access this function.

Choose to open an existing workspace in Wizard.
Choose File -> Open Workspace.
Click Open Workspace button on the Standard toolbar.
In Workspace Manager or Workspace Manage Window, Select Workspaces icon, right click and select Open Workspace in the shortcut menu.

If currently there is an edited workspace, the system will prompt you to save the workspace first, and only after the existing workspace has been closed, can the current workspace be opened. A workspace can be opened in read-only mode. But in this mode, all the datasources and datasets in the workspace can't be edited.

There are three ways to access this function.

Choose File -> Save Workspace.
Click Save Workspace button on the Standard toolbar.
In Workspace Manager or Workspace Manage Window, Select Workspaces icon, right click and select Save Workspace in the shortcut menu.

For saved workspace, also you can save it to other directory by using Save Workspace As.

Choose File -> Save Workspace As.
In Workspace Manager or Workspace Manage Window, Select Workspaces icon, right click and select Save Workspace As in the shortcut menu.

There are two ways to access this function.

Choose File -> Close Workspace.
In Workspace Manager or Workspace Manage Window, Select Workspaces icon, right click and select Close Workspace

If you haven't saved the edited workspace, the system will prompt you to save it first before close it; otherwise the system will close it directly. And when a workspace is closed, all the users' environment will be saved; next time you open the workspace, the entire environment will display, just the same as the moment you close it.
