Consider these rules for using Add to Workspace:

• Any member of a CATIA V5 part family in Windchill can be individually selected for the Add to Workspace action. For example, you can choose to add the generic CATIA V5 model or a specific instance defined in the design table to the workspace.

• If you want to add an instance to the workspace, the generic must always be included as a required dependent.

• When you use Add to Workspace, the genericCATIA V5 model file and the design table are added to the workspace.

• If you check out an instance when adding it to the workspace, then the entire family (generic and all other instances) are added to the workspace and checked out as well. If independently.modify.instances is set to Yes, then only instances to be modified are checked out. See Modifying Instance Files Independently for more information.
