Workshop uses a Workshop Library.wsl file to store the stringer shapes & cutouts and materials. Working with this library is completely automatic. Every time you start Workshop, the application will look for the default file path (see below) and load the library automatically. When you close Workshop, this library file gets updated and saved automatically.

If you don’t want Workshop to load the library automatically on start-up, you should rename the library file in the default directory. Workshop will then ask you which library you wish to load each time it starts up. The library will be automatically saved to this file when you close Workshop.

Default library location:

·   Windows Vista – C:\Users\Public\Documents\Maxsurf\Maxsurf##

·   Other Operating Systems - C:\Program Files\Maxsurf ##

, where ## is the version number.

It is possible to share library files across a network. However, you should be aware that changes to the Library file can easily be overwritten by someone else if that person closes Workshop after you did. You can create a shortcut Workshop Library.wsl file to the shared library file on the server to share the library. Please note that Maxsurf also uses the Workshop library file and will also automatically save to this shared library. It may be easier to occasionally distribute the physical library file.
