6.5. Saving Workspaces
When creating a workspace, it is not actually being built in the Cortex itself, but rather both from the Cortex’s webserver
and the computer’s web browser.
It is therefore important to periodically save the workspace as it is being built.
If
the browser (or DavLink 6) is closed without previously saving the workspace, the workspace creation/edition work will be
lost. Once the design is completed, the workspace can be uploaded to the Cortex unit.
To save a workspace, it must first be saved to your PC from the Floating Toolbar. If this Toolbar is not visible, activate it
with the Gear Icon on the Edit Menu.
This
Save to PC
function is actually a Browser download function and will automatically download a file called default(#).dvw
to your PC’s download location. If you wish to change this location, you can do so in your browser settings.
For example, in Chrome:
At the top right, clink on the 3 dots
Click on Settings
At the bottom, click Advanced.
Under the "Downloads" section, adjust your download settings: To change the default download location, click
Change and select where you'd like your files to be saved.
Note that you can change the filename to ensure easier management of your records.
Once files are stored on your computer, they can be transferred to the Cortex with the
System/Workspace
menu as
described in Section 4.2.7.
