After a project has been created and added to source control, you can access it by opening it from source control, which creates a copy of the project on your local system. You can then perform source control operations on it.
To open a project or stream from source control do one of the following:
In Dimensions Explorer expand Home and click Open From Source Control.
In Dimensions Explorer expand a node with an open connection and click Open From Source Control.
In the Dimensions Project view, right click a stream or project and select Open From Source Control.
Select a Visual Studio project or solution and click Next.
On the Select Location on Disk window, browse to select the location where you want to download the solution or project. By default Match the stream structure is selected. This option creates a work area compatible with other Dimensions CM clients at the selected location. The folder structure below this location will match that in the repository. If this option is not selected, then a relative work are that not compatible with other Dimensions CM clients is created. You can automatically create a folder named after the solution or project by selecting the Create directory with solution name check box.
If the open from source control wizard detects that the selected project has a default folder, it will suggest this as the location, with a path matching the repository path. You can override this as needed. This location will be the root folder under which the solution and projects will be placed, in their correct relative hierarchy.
Within the file system browser you can optionally create a new folder by clicking the New folder button.
Click Next.
Review the choices you made and click the Download button. Or, click Back to return to previous screens and make changes.
