The Workspace Window Selector

The Workspace Window selector provides access to commands for applying a wide range of predefined workspace layouts. Each layout name is a command that, when you click on it, opens and arranges various windows, positioned, grouped and sized in a manner that facilitates the workflow of the task at hand.

The workspace commands are organized into four sets, as described in the tables of this topic.

Design and Construct

This set of commands provides access to workspace layouts tailored for use in general modeling tasks as well as some specific tasks, such as database modeling or designing XML Schemas.

Options	Description	See also
Default	Applies the 'Default' workspace layout, which is a good starting point for a range of general modeling tasks. These windows are displayed: Main work area (for diagrams) Browser and Inspector windows grouped together Properties and Notes windows	Selecting a Workspace
Clear	Applies the 'Clear' workspace layout. This clears the desktop by closing all 'docked' windows. You can then open the specific windows that you want. In this layout, only the menu ribbon and the main work area are visible.
Browse	Applies the 'Browse' workspace layout, designed for browsing the model and its element properties. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser, Inspector and Focus windows grouped together
Wide View	Applies the 'Wide View' workspace layout. This layout has the main work area occupying the full width of the application desktop. Other open windows are 'auto-hidden'. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser and Inspector windows grouped together ('auto-hidden' to the left) Properties and Notes windows ('auto-hidden' to the right)
Explore	Applies the 'Explore' workspace layout, for use in 'exploring' the features of your model. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser, Inspector and Focus windows grouped together Responsibility and Maintenance windows grouped together Summary window Discuss & Review and Chat & Mail windows grouped together
Core Modeling	Applies the 'Core Modeling' workspace layout, for use when performing core modeling tasks. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser and Inspector windows grouped together Properties and Notes windows grouped together Pan & Zoom, Layout Tools and Filters & Layers windows grouped together	Modeling Fundamentals
Database Modeling	Applies the 'Database Modeling' workspace layout, for use when performing Database Modeling tasks. These windows are displayed: The Database Builder window, occupying the main work area Browser and Inspector windows grouped together Properties and Notes windows	The Database Builder Information Engineering
Gap Analysis	Applies the 'Gap Analysis' workspace layout, for use when performing Gap Analysis. These windows are displayed: The Gap Analysis Matrix, occupying the main work area Browser and Inspector windows grouped together (on the left) Properties window (also on the left)	Gap Analysis Matrix
Schema Design	Applies the 'Schema Design' workspace layout, for use when modeling Schema Designs. These windows are displayed: The Schema Composer, occupying the main work area Browser and Inspector windows grouped together Properties and Notes windows	The Schema Composer XML Schema ( XSD )
Trace by Matrix	Applies the 'Trace by Matrix' workspace layout, which uses the Relationship Matrix for tracing relationships between model elements. These windows are displayed: The Relationship Matrix, occupying the main work area Browser and Inspector windows grouped together Properties and Notes windows	Relationship Matrix

Software & Simulation

This set of commands provides access to workspace layouts tailored for use in performing specific tasks in software engineering and model simulation.

Options	Description	See also
Software Engineering	Applies the 'Software Engineering' workspace layout, for use when performing general Software Engineering tasks. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser, Inspector and Execution Analyzer windows grouped together as tabs Features window (contains pages for features such as attributes, operations and receptions) Properties and Notes windows	Software Engineering
Debug	Applies the 'Debug' workspace layout, for use when debugging software. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser, Inspector and Execution Analyzer windows grouped together Breakpoints & Markers, Watches, Modules and Memory Viewer windows grouped together Debug, Local and Call Stack windows grouped together	Build and Debug
Profile	Applies the 'Profile' workspace layout, for use when profiling software. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser and Execution Analyzer windows grouped together Profile window	Profiling
Record	Applies the 'Record' workspace layout, for use when recording program execution. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser and Execution Analyzer windows grouped together Record & Analyze window	Recording
Testpoints	Applies the 'Testpoints' workspace layout. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser and Execution Analyzer windows grouped together Testpoints window	Testpoints
XSLT Debug	Applies the 'XSLT' workspace layout, for use when debugging XSLT. These windows are displayed: XSLT Debugger window open in main work area Browser and Execution Analyzer windows grouped together System Output window at the bottom of the screen	Debug an XSL Transformation
Simulation	Applies the 'Simulation' workspace layout, for use when running simulations. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser, Inspector and Execution Analyzer windows grouped together Simulation and Simulation Events windows Locals and Call Stack windows	Model Simulation
DMN-Sim	Applies the 'DMN-Sim' workspace layout, for use when creating or running DMN simulations. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser, Inspector and Execution Analyzer windows grouped together DMN Simulation and DMN Expression windows	Simulate DMN Model
BPSim	Applies the 'BPSim' workspace layout, for use when working with Business Process Simulations. These windows are displayed: Main work area Browser and Inspector windows grouped together Diagram Toolbox Properties window Configure BPSim window	BPSim Business Simulations
SysML-Sim	Applies the 'SysML-Sim' workspace layout, for use when working with SysML Simulations. These windows are displayed: Configure SysML Simulation window in main work area Browser and Inspector windows grouped together Diagram Toolbox Properties window System Output window	SysML Parametric Simulation

Workspace Tools

The commands in this list provide access to facilities for customizing and managing workspaces, menu ribbons and working sets.

Options	Description	See also
Workspaces	Displays the 'Workspaces' tab of the 'Workspaces Layout' window. This window allows you to select from a range of predefined workspace layouts and apply one of them, such that the application desktop displays a particular set of windows and toolbars, arranged in a way to facilitate certain modeling activities.	Workspace Layouts
My Workspaces	Opens the 'My Workspaces' tab on the 'Workspace Layout' window, enabling you to select, create and maintain the workspaces that you use, as a means of organizing all the tools appropriate to your areas of work.	Workspace Layouts
My Ribbon Sets	Opens the 'My Ribbon Sets' tab of the 'Workspaces Layout' window. This tab allows you to set a filter on the ribbons and the panels in the ribbons, so as to provide a clearer focus on only the core features that you use and eliminate any distracting features outside your domain of work.	Customizing Ribbon Sets
Save Workspace	Saves the current Workspace layout as a new customized Workspace.	Workspace Layouts
Working Sets	Opens the 'Working Sets' tab of the 'Focus' window. These Working Sets are saved outlays of what you want opened in Enterprise Architect. Working Sets can be manually created or a capture of your current work environment.	Working Sets

User Layouts

The User Layouts list presents a list of the workspace layouts you have created yourself.
