Be aware that changing the working directory of the CAD system like Pro/ENGINEER and changing the EC Workspace are two different things and lead to different behaviour of the integration.
注意改變CAD系統的工作目錄和改變EC 的工作區是兩個不同的事情，將導致不同的集成行爲。
The working directory is the active directory in the CAD system , where the engineer is working . This directory is not necessary the same directory where the CAD files loaded in session are located , because after load the working directory may be changed or some components are loaded from extenal library paths.
工作目錄是工程師使用CAD系統直接激活的目錄。這個目錄不必須和會話加載CAD文件夾的目錄一致，因爲當加載過後工作目錄可能會改變 或者一些組件是被從外部庫路徑中加載的。
The EC workspace is managed directory of the MCAD integration that can be displayed in the Workspace Manager . EC workspaces are located in a dedicated local area on disk defined by the environment setting CAX_WORKSPACE_ROOT . All directories below this root can be displied in the EC Workspace Manager . External directories outside this root aren't displayed , but the connector tracks the file status of any file independent from the path where it resides .
EC 工作區是被MCAD 集成的顯示在工作區的目錄。EC 工作區顯示哪個具體的本地磁盤是通過設置CAX_WORKSPACE_ROOT來定義的。這個根目錄下的所有目錄都會顯示在EC工作區管理中。在這個根目錄之外目錄不會被顯示，但是連接器會追蹤每個文件的狀態無論文件是存在哪的。
The best practice is to have the CAD working directory and EC Workspace set equal . This can be done using the "Change Workspace" command in the Workspace Manager . This also sets the current working directory in Pro/ENGINEER to the same value.
最佳實踐是CAD工作目錄和EC的工作區相同。這個可以通過工作區管理器的"更改工作區"命令來完成。
Attention: If the current working directory is changed in CAD manually , the EC Workspace is NOT changed!
提醒：如果當前工作目錄在CAD中被手動的修改，那麼EC 工作區不會修改。
Workspace on Save
In order to keep assembly integrity the location of files on disk are not changed during save . Only completly new files not stored on disk are saved into the active EC Workspace .
爲了保存 文件位置的一致性在保存的時候不被修改。只有完全在本地沒有保存的文件才能保存到本地EC工作區。
Attention: Setting the current working directory in CAD has NO effect on where the new file go . Set the EC Workspace to control where new files go during Save to Agile .
提醒：在CAD中設置當前工作目錄不會影響新文件。設置EC工作空間可以控制保存過程中新文件保存在哪。
