Activate
This topic describes the Activate action, available from the Creo CADDS 5 Local Data Manager.
When connected to the Windchill Workgroup Manager, the Creo CADDS 5 create directory is set to the location of the active local workspace directory. In all other respects, the Activate action works exactly as it would if a connection to Windchill server had not been established.
