Using the Content Manager

The Content Manager shows every model and its associated data. This data is used to:

  • Describe the model, its tags, its 3DCC categories, and its product group
  • Keep track of its publish status
  • Show if the download includes features or if they are removed
  • Identify any associated files the model has such as datasheets and drawing files
  • Keep statistics (views/downloads) on its use by the community
  • Record who last edited it and when
  • List the health of the model

This table lists all model data.
