Opening a Workspace
To open a workspace:
1. Select “Browse to another project workspace” option from the “Welcome!” dialog (figure 1.6) and press
“OK” or select [File->Open Workspace…]. The “Open Project Workspace” dialog will be invoked.
2. Select the workspace file that you want to open (.HWS files only).
3. Click “Open” to open the workspace.
If the HEW is set-up to display information when a workspace is opened then a workspace properties
dialog will be invoked (figure 1.8). Otherwise, the workspace will be opened.
Note that whether the workspace properties dialog is shown depends on the setting of either the “Show
workspace information on workspace open” check box on the workspace properties dialog or the
“Display workspace information dialog on opening workspace” check box on the “Workspace” tab of the
“Tools Options” dialog. This dialog is described in the “Specifying Workspace Options” section in
chapter 5, “Customizing the Environment”, in the Hitachi Embedded Workshop 2.1 User’s Manual. Click
“OK” to open the workspace. Click “Cancel” to stop opening the workspace.
Figure 1.8: Workspace Properties Dialog
The Hitachi Embedded Workshop keeps track of the last five workspaces that you have opened and adds them to
the file menu under the “Recent Workspaces” sub-menu. This gives you a shortcut to opening workspaces,
which you have used recently.
To open a recently used workspace:
1. Select “Open a recent project workspace” from the “Welcome!” dialog, select the name of the workspace
from the drop down list and then click “OK”.
or:
2. Select the [File->Recent Workspaces] menu option and from this sub-menu select the name of the
workspace.
Note:
The Hitachi Embedded Workshop only permits one workspace to be open at a time. Consequently, if
you attempt to open a second workspace, the first will be closed before the new one is opened.

Saving a Workspace
Selecting [File-> Save Workspace] can save a HEW workspace.
