Opening a Workspace
To open a workspace
1. Select [Browse to another project workspace] option from the [Welcome!] dialog box (figure 1.2) and
click the [OK] button or select [File -> Open Workspace…]. The [Open Project Workspace] dialog box
will be displayed.
2. Select the workspace file that you want to open (.HWS files only).
3. Click the [Open] button to open the workspace. If the HEW is set up to display information when a
workspace is opened, the [Workspace Properties] dialog box will be displayed (figure 1.4). Otherwise,
the workspace will be opened.
Note that whether the [Workspace Properties] dialog box is shown depends on the setting of either the
[Show workspace information on workspace open] check box in the [Workspace Properties] dialog box
or the [Display workspace information dialog on opening workspace] check box on the [Workspace]
sheet of the [Tools Options] dialog box. Click the [OK] button in the [Workspace Properties] dialog box
to open the workspace. Click the [Cancel] button to stop opening the workspace.
Figure 1.4 Workspace Properties Dialog Box
The HEW keeps track of the last five workspaces that you have opened and adds them to the [File] menu under
the [Recent Workspaces] submenu. This gives you a shortcut to opening workspaces, which you have used
recently.
To open a recently used workspace
Select [Open a recent project workspace] in the [Welcome!] dialog box, select the name of the workspace
from the drop-down list, and then click the [OK] button.
Another way is to select [File -> Recent Workspaces], and then from this submenu select the name of the
workspace.
Note: The HEW only permits one workspace to be open at a time. Consequently, if you attempt to open
a second workspace, the first will be closed before the new one is opened.

Saving a Workspace
Selecting [File -> Save Workspace] saves a HEW workspace.
