父页面：使用互联工作区进行设计
可通过多个区域与互联工作区进行交互，但其中有两个主要的访问途径：
单纯从元件管理的角度来看，工作区的大部分日常交互将在Altium NEXUS内部通过
元件面板来执行。
本页介绍如何从Altium NEXUS内部访问工作区。
就Altium 365工作区而言，假设您已被添加到至少一个工作区的团队中——即本组织或其他组织的工作区。如果本组织尚未拥有Altium 365工作区，那么当您尝试连接时，Altium NEXUS将引导您完成激活过程。
与Altium 365工作区连接
首先，确保您通过Altium NEXUS登录到AltiumLive帐户。登录时请单击主应用程序窗口右上角的
控件，然后单击相关菜单上的
条目。在随后出现的登录对话框内输入您的AltiumLive帐户证书，然后单击
。或者，使用您的 Google®或Facebook®帐户登录，然后将该帐户与您的AltiumLive帐户链接/关联。如果您没有AltiumLive帐户，则可以单击控件进行注册。
链接的帐户（Google®或Facebook®）将列在您的AltiumLive个人资料页面上。如果需要，那里提供了用于取消关联帐户的控件。
确保您已使用AltiumLive证书登录到您的Altium帐户。
控件将显示您的AltiumLive个人资料图片或头像（例如
），此更改表示您已登录到您的Altium帐户。菜单上也将显示此信息，包括账户全名和通过默认网络浏览器快速访问AltiumLive帐户（个人资料）的链接。
您现在可以连接到您的Altium 365工作区。连接时，请单击主应用程序窗口右上角的
控件。在随后的菜单中，有两个部分列出可供利用的所有Altium 365工作区：
- 我的工作区 - 其中列出的是本组织已激活的Altium 365工作区，并且您已被添加为该工作区的团队成员。请注意：每个组织可以激活一个Altium 365工作区。
- 与我共享 - 您已被邀请加入并随后被添加为团队成员的其他组织的 Altium 365工作区。
单击待连接的特定Altium 365工作区的条目。
登录您的AltiumLive帐户后，所有Altium 365工作区都会自动显示。
单击访问所有可用的工作区。
如果您的组织尚未拥有Altium 365工作区，您将收到一个链接并通过链接连接到激活区域。管理链接将指向AltiumLive帐户个人资料页面，您可以从该页面激活并管理可用的Altium 365工作区。单击我的Altium 365链接即可访问Altium 365“平台界面”。无论何时，单击链接都会打开您的默认网络浏览器（如果尚未打开）并在新选项卡中打开相关目标。

如果您是一个或多个Altium 365工作区团队的成员，并且已指定其中一个工作区作为默认Altium 365工作区，那么，当您使用您的AltiumLive证书（通过Altium NEXUS）首次登录您的Altium帐户时，您将直接连接到该工作区。之后，每当您在Altium NEXUS中登录您的帐户时，您都会自动连接到您最后一次连接的工作区——一切准备就绪，您可以从上次中断的地方开始继续您的设计。
您可以通过单击与所需工作区相关的
按钮并从相关菜单中选择“
设置为默认”选项(
标签将显示在页面上的
工作区图块中），从您的AltiumLive配置文件页面（
https://profile.altium.com/）设置默认的Altium 365工作区。
Altium 365工作区的只读模式
如果某个公司的Altium 帐户（与该公司的Altium 365工作区相关联）无法通过任何Altium NEXUS许可来激活“Altium订阅”，则该工作区将切换至只读模式。所有团队成员仍然可以查看/使用工作区中的现有内容，但不能以任何方式修改现有内容，也不能创建任何新内容。
连接到只读工作区时，将出现一个警告对话框，并且互联工作区的图标将显示为

连接到已切换为只读模式的工作区。
Connecting to Your NEXUS Server Workspace
Connect to your NEXUS Server Workspace from within Altium NEXUS by clicking the Current User control, at the top-right of the main application window (e.g. ). This will be the user that is currently signed into AltiumLive through this instance of Altium NEXUS. In the subsequent menu choose the Custom connection command. The Sign in dialog will appear, with which to connect to the target Workspace. Enter the URL for the Workspace and your Workspace access credentials, then click the button.
It can be a good idea to enable the Sign in automatically option so that the entered URL and access credentials are stored, and you don't have to repeatedly enter them to access the Workspace when starting Altium NEXUS.
Connecting to your NEXUS Server Workspace from within Altium NEXUS.
The NEXUS Server Workspace's URL (Server Address) will be in the format http://<ComputerName>:<PortNumber> (e.g. http://impala:9780 for a NEXUS Server installed using the default port assignment). If the Workspace is being accessed from an instance of Altium NEXUS that is running on the same computer on which the NEXUS Server is installed, you may also use http://localhost:9780. If you want to connect using your Windows login credentials – taking advantage of the Workspace's support for Windows Authentication – enable the Use Windows Session credentials option.
The Altium NEXUS Server relies on a number of Microsoft runtime components for successful operation and access, in some situations these may not be present on the target machine. If you receive an error message about a missing library (DLL) when you attempt to connect to the NEXUS Server Workspace, it indicates that there are missing Microsoft runtime components. Obtain and install the relevant Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package for your OS.
Connecting to a 'Known' NEXUS Server Workspace
If you have previously connected to your NEXUS Server Workspace from within the same instance of Altium NEXUS, it will become a Known Server. If this is the case, you can connect to that Workspace from within Altium NEXUS in a more streamlined fashion. To do so, click on the control at the top-right of the main application window. In the subsequent menu, choose the entry for your Workspace, in the CUSTOM CONNECTIONS grouping. If you enabled the Sign in automatically option when accessing that Workspace previously, you will be connected straight away. If this option was not enabled, the Sign in dialog will appear, with which to connect to the target Workspace. Enter the URL for the Workspace, and your Workspace access credentials, then click the button.
Connecting to your NEXUS Server Workspace from within Altium NEXUS, when that Workspace is already known.
Note that when the
Sign in automatically option is enabled, you will be connected to the Workspace as the user that last connected through the
Sign in dialog. If you need to connect as a different user, you will need to use the
Custom connection command in the menu associated with the Current User control, at the top-right of the main application window (e.g.
).
You can also access your 'known' Workspace from the
Open Project and
Create Project dialogs, when wanting to open an existing project, or create a new project, respectively. In either case, select the
entry in the
Locations region of the dialog, then click the button relevant to that Workspace on the right-hand side. Again, if you need to connect as a different user, you will need to use the
Custom connection command in the menu associated with the Current User control, at the top-right of the main application window (e.g.
).
Connecting to a NEXUS Server Workspace from Different Computers
Support is provided for connecting to your NEXUS Server Workspace using the same credentials but from different computers (other than the computer on which the NEXUS Server is installed). If you attempt to connect to a Workspace that you are already connected to from another computer – either through Altium NEXUS or the Workspace's browser-based interface – a pop-up dialog will alert you to this. You can choose from two options offered in the dialog:
- Terminate existing session – close the existing session that you have on the other computer and continue to login to the Workspace from the current computer.
- Start new session – login to the Workspace from the current computer by using an additional connection license and thereby keep logged into the Workspace from the other computer as well.
The same user can be accessing a NEXUS Server Workspace concurrently in different ways (e.g. connected through Altium NEXUS AND signed-in through an external web browser) and it only counts as a single connection from the licensing perspective, when access is made from the same PC. If the same user accesses that NEXUS Server Workspace from different PCs, each different PC access will require a separate connection (so extra seat of a Client Access License). You will therefore only be able to log in from the current computer as well, provided you have enough Workspace Connector licenses (CAL) remaining.
Checking Connection Status
You can check whether you are currently connected to a Workspace from the following places:
-
The menu associated with the Active Server control, at the top-right of the main application window. When actively connected to a Workspace, the control will reflect the name of that Workspace (e.g. 
for an Altium 365 Workspace or 
for a NEXUS Server Workspace). The currently connected Workspace will also be highlighted in the associated menu (and is distinguished by the 
/
icon). Clicking the entry provides access to browse the content of that Workspace through Altium NEXUS's Explorer panel. Clicking the 
icon provides access to the Workspace's browser interface (through your default web browser).
Verification of being connected to your Workspace. Shown here is an example for an Altium 365 Workspace. Hover the cursor over the image to see an example for a NEXUS Server Workspace.
The Current User control itself reflects the user who is currently connected to the AltiumLive account or to the active NEXUS Server Workspace (e.g.
).
-
The Data Management – Servers page of the Preferences dialog. When connected to the Workspace, that Workspace will be presented as the Active Server.
You can only be actively connected to one Workspace through the software at a time and this could be an Altium 365 Workspace or a NEXUS Server Workspace. If you have previously connected to other Workspaces from that instance of Altium NEXUS, they will be listed as Known Servers. While actively connected to one Workspace, you could also be connected to another (it will not be the active Workspace).
Once connected to the Workspace, it will become the Active Server. Shown here is an example for an Altium 365 Workspace. Hover the cursor over the image to see an example for a NEXUS Server Workspace.
-
The Explorer panel. When connected, the Workspace will be available from the menu associated with clicking on the name of the Workspace currently being browsed.
Note that all connected Workspaces will be listed, but only one will be active and is distinguished by the inclusion of the
icon, and its name boldened.

Switching Workspaces
You can quickly switch between any of the Workspaces available to you. To do so, click the Active Server control, at the top-right of the main application window (e.g. or ). In the subsequent menu choose the entry for the Workspace you wish to switch to. You will be disconnected from the current Workspace, then momentarily connected to the chosen Workspace.
When multiple Workspaces are available, you can quickly switch between them.
If switching to a NEXUS Server Workspace and the
Sign in automatically option was enabled when accessing that Workspace previously, you will be connected straight away. If this option was not enabled, the
Sign in dialog will appear with which to connect to the target Workspace. Enter the URL for the Workspace and your Workspace access credentials, then click the
button. Note that when the
Sign in automatically option is enabled, you will be connected to the Workspace as the user that last connected through the
Sign in dialog. If you need to connect as a different user, you will need to use the
Custom connection command in the menu associated with the Current User control, at the top-right of the main application window (e.g.
).
Managing Your Workspace from Altium NEXUS
From within Altium NEXUS, you have the ability to manage certain aspects of your connected Workspace. This is performed from the Data Management – Servers page of the Preferences dialog. Click the Properties control associated with the Workspace – in the Active Server region of the page – to access the commands, illustrated in the following image and detailed thereafter.
Accessing commands to manage various properties of the actively connected Workspace. Shown here is an example for a connected Altium 365 Workspace. Hover the cursor over the image to see an example for a connected NEXUS Server Workspace.
- Server configuration – use this command to access the Workspace's browser interface in your default web browser. If you are an Administrator for the Workspace you will be taken to the Admin – Settings page of the browser interface.
- Lifecycles – use this command to access the Edit Lifecycle Definitions dialog, with which to manage the defined lifecycles for the Workspace.
- Naming schemes – use this command to access the Edit Revision Naming Schemes dialog, with which to manage the defined revision naming schemes for the Workspace.
- Operations – use this command to access the Edit Operation Permissions dialog, with which to define and manage global operation permissions for the Workspace.
- Connection (only for a NEXUS Server Workspace) – use this command to access the Connection Properties dialog, with which to configure your connection to the Workspace.
For another Workspace to which you have a connection (connected or disconnected), you will only have access to the Server configuration and Connection commands.
Disconnecting from Your Workspace
You can disconnect from your Workspace from within Altium NEXUS, in the following ways:
-
By clicking the Active Server control, at the top-right of the main application window (e.g. or ). In the subsequent menu, click the disconnect control (
) at the far right of the entry for the currently connected Workspace.
-
By clicking the 
button, associated with the Active Server, on the Data Management – Servers page of the Preferences dialog. A confirmation dialog will appear – click Yes.
Your access to the Workspace will also be terminated when you exit Altium NEXUS. In addition, and for an Administrator of your Workspace, there is the provision to drop a session from the Admin – Sessions page of the Workspace's browser interface. For an Altium 365 Workspace, this would then allow the administrator to remove that user from the Workspace team (something that could not otherwise be done if the user were actively using the Workspace). For a NEXUS Server Workspace, this can be used to terminate an existing session and thereby free up a connection to that NEXUS Server Workspace.
