System Responses in a Standalone Server Environment
When you initiate the Open in<CAD application> action, the system does one of the following.
• Opens the objects in an existing session (for example if you already have a primary server registered with an active workspace).
• Helps you register and activate the server/workspace required.
The following are some general characteristics of the process:
• The specific iteration you select is opened in the CAD application.
• Other objects that are required to open your selected object are also collected. The collected objects represent the latest configuration, unless:
◦ You have downloaded a specific configuration to your workspace, or the workspace preference identifies a specific configuration (for example, a baseline)
◦ You are downloading an object and choose to open the CAD (authoring) application from the control in the Check Out or Add to Workspace page
• If the registered server you initiate the action from is not primary, you are asked if you want to make it primary.
• If you initiate the action from a workspace that is not active, you are asked to activate the workspace. You are warned that any objects in session are erased by the change of workspace.
• If no server is registered, the server registration window opens.
• If you have existing workspaces on the server, you are asked to select one.
• If you have no existing workspaces on the server, a default workspace is created for you.
• If you have more than one available startup configuration (.psf file) for launching Creo Parametric, you are asked to select one.
• If the action requires a different workspace to be activated, you are warned that objects currently in session will be erased.
