Save to Workspace (CATIA V5)
The Save to Workspace action is available from the PTC Windchill menu and PTC Windchill toolbar in CATIA V5. To save a CAD object to Windchill, use Save to Workspace instead of native Save to avoid asynchronization between the Windchill cache and Windchill local directory.
Save to Workspace saves the CAD object in the active CATIA V5 design session, including all new and modified dependents, to the workspace local directory, and then automatically uploads them to the active workspace on the registered Windchill server.
By default, Save to Workspace uses the active workspace. However, in the Save to Workspace window, you can browse to other non-active workspaces.
When you try to save an object that already exists in Windchill, using Save to Workspace opens the Check out on the fly window. This behavior is applicable if the CAD object is not checked out. In the Check out on the fly window, select Check Out to check out the CAD object. For new documents, the Check out on the fly window does not appear.

Do not close the Windchill Workgroup Manager client while the Save to Workspace action is in progress.

Enable or Disable a Server-Side Upload
There are two ways to enable or disable an upload of a CAD object to the server-side workspace while performing Save to Workspace:
• In the Save to Workspace window, select or clear the Upload box.
• Set the following preference in the wgmclient.ini file:
◦ To enable, set save_to_ws.upload to Yes (default).
◦ To disable, set save_to_ws.upload to No.
When you set the preference to No, the CAD document remains in the workspace local directory.
Enable or Disable the Generation of New Viewables
You can enable or disable the generation of new viewables for all the modified or new CAD objects in the Save to Workspace window.
1. Click the arrow next to Tools in the Save to Workspace window.
2. Select Models and Viewables to enable the viewable generation, or select Models Only to disable the viewable generation.
Alternatively, you can set the save_to_ws.content.options preference in the wgmclient.ini file.
• To enable the viewable generation, set save_to_ws.content.options to Models and Viewables.
• To disable the viewable generation, set save_to_ws.content.options to Models Only (default).
