    Workspace.mel file

    Every time you set a new project, a workspace.mel file is created. The workspace.mel file is a project definition file that contains a list of MEL commands that associate data types with the specified folders. It is overwritten every time you update anything in the project.
    Note: You can see the file path rules in the workspace.mel file.
