Agile PLM EC 301 Workspace CAD working directory vs. EC Workspaces

 CAD working directory vs. EC Workspaces

 Be aware that changing the working directory of the CAD system like Pro/ENGINEER and changing the EC Workspace are two different things and lead to different behaviour of the integration. 

  注意改变CAD系统的工作目录和改变EC 的工作区是两个不同的事情，将导致不同的集成行为。 

  The working directory is the active directory in the CAD system , where the engineer is working . This directory is not necessary the same directory where the CAD files loaded in session are located , because after load the working directory may be changed or some components are loaded from extenal library paths. 

   工作目录是工程师使用CAD系统直接激活的目录。这个目录不必须和会话加载CAD文件夹的目录一致，因为当加载过后工作目录可能会改变 或者一些组件是被从外部库路径中加载的。

    The EC workspace is managed directory of the MCAD integration that can be displayed in the Workspace Manager . EC workspaces are located in a dedicated local area on disk defined by the environment setting CAX_WORKSPACE_ROOT . All directories below this root can be displied in the EC Workspace Manager . External directories outside this root aren't displayed , but the connector tracks the file status of any file independent from the path where it resides .

    EC 工作区是被MCAD 集成的显示在工作区的目录。EC 工作区显示哪个具体的本地磁盘是通过设置CAX_WORKSPACE_ROOT来定义的。这个根目录下的所有目录都会显示在EC工作区管理中。在这个根目录之外目录不会被显示，但是连接器会追踪每个文件的状态无论文件是存在哪的。  

      The best practice is to have the CAD working directory and EC Workspace set equal . This can be done using the "Change Workspace" command in the Workspace Manager . This also sets the current working directory in Pro/ENGINEER to the same value. 

      最佳实践是CAD工作目录和EC的工作区相同。这个可以通过工作区管理器的"更改工作区"命令来完成。

      Attention: If the current working directory is changed in CAD manually , the EC Workspace is NOT changed!

      提醒：如果当前工作目录在CAD中被手动的修改，那么EC 工作区不会修改。

 

       Workspace on Save 

       In order to keep assembly integrity the location of files on disk are not changed during save . Only completly new files not stored on disk are saved into the active EC Workspace .

        为了保存 文件位置的一致性在保存的时候不被修改。只有完全在本地没有保存的文件才能保存到本地EC工作区。    

        Attention: Setting the current working directory in CAD has NO effect on where the new file go . Set the EC Workspace to control where new files go during Save to Agile .

       提醒：在CAD中设置当前工作目录不会影响新文件。设置EC工作空间可以控制保存过程中新文件保存在哪。
