Import to Workspace
The Import to Workspace action enables you to import objects to your active workspace. For example, you can import CAD documents and all dependent files. Import is supported only via the Windchill Workgroup Manager embedded browser and from an active workspace that has access to cache. Importing objects from a non-active workspace is not supported.
* 
Initiating Import to Workspace and Save to Workspace concurrently causes error messages to appear.Creo Elements/Direct Drafting does not allow multiple operations to run simultaneously.
Creo Elements/Direct Drafting does not import drawing frames as such, but only as drawing elements. Upon checkin, the imported frames are not saved to the location specified by the preference, Default Drawing Frame Location. Instead, the frame must be explicitly saved to Windchill by using the Save Frame to Windchill command available in Creo Elements/Direct Drafting.
In addition, the Import to Workspace action does not collect a drawing’s related frame separately. Instead, it is saved as an embedded element of the drawing. Consequently, no dependency is created between the drawing and frame in Windchill.
You import objects by using the Import to Workspace window, on which you specify the following information:
