Opening a .stw workspace
To load a workspace (*.stw) created by STVD7 3.0 or later versions, select File > Open
Workspace. The Open Workspace browse window will open. Locate the workspace file
(.stw), highlight it, and then click on Open. The workspace will appear in the Workspace
window, typically on the left side of STVD’s main window (see Figure 55).

Opening a .wsp workspace from STVD7 prior to version 3.0
You can open a workspace that was created by a version of STVD7 prior to version 3.0. This
method automatically creates a .stw workspace based on the makefile used by your .wsp
workspace.
Caution: A .stw workspace created by opening a .wsp and wrapping the makefile, does not allow
you to take full advantage of STVD’s build interface. Instead, you must manually maintain
your makefile to manage the building of your application. For information about creating a
.stw workspace that allows you to use STVD’s graphical build interface, refer to 7 steps to
full migration on page 72.
To open a .wsp workspace:
1. Select File > Open Workspace from the main menu bar.
2. In the resulting browse window, select Old Project Workspace (*.wsp) in the Files of
Type field. Then select the .wsp file and click on Open.
3. Read the message in the Import Workspace message box. Click on Continue to open
your .wsp. Click on Cancel if you want to abandon the import procedure and do a full
migration instead (refer to 7 steps to full migration on page 72).
A pop-up dialog box will ask you if you want to add the files as filtered by your .wsp
workspace. Click on Yes to add the files automatically.
