Workspace Layouts Toolbar
As you perform work on your model you use various toolbars and windows; you will quite likely use the same toolbars and windows regularly, in an arrangement that suits the way in which you use the system. Rather than having to re-open and arrange these tools at the start of each work session, you can use either a predefined or a customized work environment - or workspace. Workspaces:
| • | Automatically open and organize all the tools appropriate to an area of work such as Requirements Management, Code Engineering and Debugging |
| • | Help a new user by: |
| • | Opening the tools that are appropriate to a task so that they can immediately get started, and |
| • | Showing the user what tools they should become familiar with for that area of work |
| • | Help you switch rapidly to work environments for either successive or completely different areas of work |
| • | Re-establish a work environment that you have accidentally or deliberately changed |
To select, create and maintain workspaces you can use the Workspace Layouts toolbar, which you can leave in the Toolbar ribbon, dock to any main window edge or float freely in a convenient location for quick access.
