This section describes the Open action available from PTC Mathcad.

The Open action opens a worksheet in PTC Mathcad. When you select this action, Open looks to your local directory and allows you to open objects in the workspace. It only shows objects that reside on the local directory.

By default, the system first looks at the files in your local managed directory. When you are connected to the Windchill Workgroup Manager, the dialog box defaults to the Primary Active Workspace. From either location, you can navigate to any folder accessible by your local machine.

You can also open a file from the My Computer location.

The next graphic illustrates the workflow for Open.

When there is no primary server, and primary activated workspace, Open looks at the last browsed location accessed. You can browse to locate the object you want to open.

Open is available on the File menu in PTC Mathcad.

Information that is modified in Windchill is updated when it is opened from a workspace.
