A key feature of NetLinx Studio (v2.x) is the Workspace Wizard. The Workspace Wizard quickly
steps you through the process of creating a new Workspace, with a Project and a System.
Using the Workspace Wizard

(.APW) file with one Project and one System. It presents a series of dialogs, which allow you to
enter workspace information based on specific questions.

2. In the New dialog, select Workspace Wizard and click OK.
3. In the Workspace Wizard dialog, enter a name (up to 128 characters) for the new Workspace
file in the text field (required).
To enter an optional text description for the new Workspace, click the Workspace File
Description button, and enter the description in the Workspace File Description dialog (2000
characters max). Click OK to return to the Workspace Wizard dialog.
4. Click Next to proceed to the Workspace File Location dialog.
