Managing Workgroups

You use the Plug-in Manager to manage workgroups. The Plug-in Manager updates the workgroup path stored in the user preferences.

To do this

On the Workgroup tab, do this:

Connect to a workgroup

Choose File > Connect. Click and locate the root folder of a workgroup. Click the root folder and then click Select.

Create a workgroup

Choose File > Create.

In the Workgroup Folder Name box, type a name for the workgroup.

In the Location box, type a path or click and locate the folder that will contain the workgroup.

Note: You can also set up a workgroup from the command line. For more information, see Setting Your Workgroup from the Command Line.

Change the order of the workgroups (for example, move a workgroup to the top of the list)

Click a workgroup and then click Move Up or Move Down.

Disconnect from a workgroup

Click a workgroup and then choose Selection > Disconnect.

Deactivate (disable) a workgroup

Clear the check box beside the workgroup.

When you deactivate a workgroup, Softimage disconnects from the workgroup but keeps the workgroup in the list of workgroups.

You can also deactivate a workgroup in the Plug-in Tree. In the tree, right-click a workgroup and choose Disable.

Activate (enable) a workgroup

Click the check box beside the workgroup.

Reload all workgroup customizations and plug-ins

Choose File > Rescan.

Softimage rescans all activated workgroups.
