Browsing File Systems in the Folder Browser
The folder browser is divided into two sections, Common Folders and Folder Tree. You can expand and collapse the Folder Tree.
The Common Folders section consists of top-level nodes for accessing file systems. You can access the commonly-used locations such as:
• In Session—Contains all the objects of the current Creo session.
• Windchill Commonspace—Provides access to the server that you have registered using the Server Manager dialog box. The registered server can be a Windchill server or an FTP server.
• Workspace—Provides access to the contents of the Workspace on the registered server.
• Desktop—Provides access to the contents of your computer's desktop.
• My Documents—Provides access to the contents of the My Documents folder on your computer.
• Working Directory—Provides access to the contents of the directory set as a working directory for the current session.
• Manikin Library—Provides access to the default directory for the Creo Manikin libraries for your custom posture libraries.
• Favorites— Provides access to links that you use frequently and saved as Favorite.
• Network
—Provides access to computers in the network.
When you expand the Folder Tree, a hierarchical structure of the local file system is displayed.
You can right-click a folder in the Folder Tree and click Add to common folders on the shortcut menu to add a link to a folder in Common Folders. To remove the link to a folder, right-click a linked folder in Common Folders and click Remove from Common Folders on the shortcut menu.
You can open a new browser tab from this browser. You must right-click to access the New Tab option on the shortcut menu to open the browser tab.
