Importing Files into Windchill
There are two ways to import your objects into Windchill:
Import objects into the workspace using the embedded browser–You can use Tools > Import to Workspace to select files from your local disk or another location and import them into your workspace. Selecting a top-level assembly default collects all required dependents for import.
* 
Import into the workspace is not supported for the files that come from multiple authoring applications.
Save an opened file to your workspace – When your Creo Parametric session is connected to a Windchill server, you can open an object in your application from a location other than a workspace. Then you can use Save to Workspace to save the active object in session with its dependents to the workspace. For more information, see Saving Your Work to the Workspace.
