Starting the EC Web Connector   开启EC　网页连接器

Engineering Collaboration is operated from within your CAD system environment . Your administrator will provide you with a startup command or icon that will start your CAD system with the Engineering Collaboration functions enabled.

工程协同是在你的CAD系统环境中操作的。你的管理员会为你提供一个启动文件或者是一个图标可以开启你的开启工程系统功能的CAD系统。

Starting with release 3.0 , Engineering Collaboration MCAD connectors can work with the PLM Design data model only.This chapter descriptions using EC with the Design data model .

从3.0版本开始，工程协同MCAD连接器只能使用PLM设计数据模型。这章只描述用EC  操作设计对象模型。　

Menus and Toolbars  菜单和工具条

When EC is enabled , you will see either an Agile menu in your menu bar ,and optionally an Agile toolbar . Access to Engineering Collaboration functions is through this menu or toolbar.

当EC被激活后，你可以看到一个Agiel菜单在你的菜单条，和一个可选的Agile工具条，访问工程协同的功能就是通过菜单或者工具条。

Saving to Agile   保存到Agile

Introduction   简介

Saving into Agile , using the Agile->Save command ,creates a Design Structure in Agile . This structure stores all CAD design files (parts , assemblies , drawings , etc.) in a way that supports CAD work-in-progress design , and makes the data available to the rest of the organization ,as privileges permit . It will save the current CAD model (whatever is in the active CAD window), including  all lower-level components.

保存到Agile, 使用Agile->保存命令，创建一个设计结构在Agile .这个结构保存所有CAD设计文件(零件，装配体，工程图，等等)　同样支持CAD在制品设计，以及使这些数据对其他组织可见，在权限允许的情况下。　他可以保存当前的CAD模型(在CAD窗口中激活的不管是什么)包括所有低层的组件。
