Saving and Uploading Objects

Many CAD data management actions are accessible from both the Creo Parametric and the workspace user interfaces. A newly created object, however, must first be saved to appear in the workspace.

You can save Creo Parametric files using the Save or Save and Upload commands. A Save command creates a file in a specified directory. Traditionally, this has been a directory on the local file system (your working directory), but with Creo Parametric, your working directory can be your workspace in the PDM system. An Upload command, which operates in the background, places a previously saved object in your private space on the PDM server, but does not check it in. The Save and Upload command performs both operations simultaneously.

Some objects saved to the workspace may have potential conflicts (for example, filename or number) with objects already on the server. These conflicts must be resolved before the objects can be checked in.

You can customize your workspace table to show the Conflict Information status column. This column displays an error symbol

for objects with check-in conflicts.
