Switching Workbenches

The button is a navigation tool intended to help you switch between different workbenches. The contents of the menu vary according to the configurations and/or products installed.

For more information, see Accessing the Navigation Tools.

Except for PLM Access, the menus below take the VPM Physical Editor workbench as an example but common commands (e.g. New..., Propagate..., etc.) can be accessed from all Navigation and Authoring windows.
