A workspace associated with an object, which is one way of creating compound objects. See also workspace hierarchy and subobject.

A workspace that is subordinate to an item. Only items of certain classes can have a subworkspace, and an item of the proper class can have only one subworkspace. A subworkspace can be affected by the activatable-subworkspace configuration property on its superior item. ( See activatable subworkspace.) Contrast with top-level workspace.
