• In session—The Creo application first checks the current session to determine if any of the dependents are in memory.

• Location of the selected object—If the dependents are not in session, the Creo application checks the location of the object that is being opened to determine if the dependents reside in the same location.

• Active Workspace of the primary server—If the dependents are not in session or at the same location as the object that is being opened, the Creo application checks the active workspace on the primary server.

• Commonspace of the primary server—If the Creo application is unable to locate the dependents in the previous three locations, it searches the Commonspace of the primary server.

• Configurable search paths—If the Creo application is unable to locate the dependents in the previous four locations, it searches for the dependents in the configurable search paths.
