Bookmarks (2024 FD02)

There are multiple enhancements to bookmarks.

Benefits: Improved organization, new tools and tooltips, and usability improvements help you work more efficiently.

Reorganized Commands

All bookmark commands are organized to appear on the Lifecycle and Collaboration CommandManager tab under the Bookmark tool.
  • Add to Bookmark
  • Add to Recent Bookmark (new)
  • Open Bookmark Editor
  • Copy Bookmark Link (new)

New Tools

The Add to Recent Bookmark tool adds a file or selected objects to a Recent Bookmark. You can add a bookmark to the 30 most-recent bookmarks. Select the object, click Add to Recent Bookmark , and select the recent bookmark to which to add the objects.

The Copy Bookmark Link tool creates a link to bookmarked objects that you can share with others. Select components and click Copy Bookmark Link to open the Bookmark List. Select a bookmark and click Copy Link. The system notifies you of the copy. You can then share that link with others in 3DSwym, email, or other methods of communication.

Tooltips

When you use the Add to Bookmark command, in the Select a Bookmark dialog box that appears, tooltips list the full names of all the selected components that you are bookmarking. In earlier releases, the full names were truncated. In addition, if you add multiple files to a bookmark, for example from an assembly FeatureManager design tree, the number of components appears at the bottom of the Select a Bookmark dialog box. Hover over that text to reveal the full names of the components.

Usability

When you click Open Bookmark Editor and have already bookmarked files, the editor navigates to the bookmarked location of the file. If the file has not been bookmarked, the editor navigates to the last interacted bookmark location. In earlier releases, the Bookmark Editor opened with no predetermined location.

In the Open from 3DEXPERIENCE dialog box:
  • On the Recent tab, under the list of recently visited bookmarks, you can right-click a bookmark and click Clear to clear that recent bookmark, or click Clear All to clear all recent bookmarks.

  • On the Recent tab, in the upper-right corner, you can click Remove and select to remove Unpinned items or All Items from the tiled list of recent items.

Bookmark Support for File Locations

The number of File Locations that support bookmarks is enhanced. 3DEXPERIENCE users can save content for practically all File Locations to bookmarks, with a few exceptions.

All File Locations support bookmarks except for the following:
  • Document Templates
  • Referenced Documents
  • Materials Databases
  • Search Paths
  • Default Save Folder
  • Inspection Default Export Folder
