Using Workspaces
Within REP Takeoff a Workspace is a saved layout or configuration of palettes. These Workspaces can be reloaded at anytime. They are designed to save the position and order of content within the palettes for quick reload of a view. For this example we will create a new Reports workspace from the existing default Job File workspace.
