You can now choose if you want to install the 3DEXPERIENCE
Drive for Windows. In earlier releases opening 3DDrive or performing any actions in the
files located in 3DDrive required mandatory installation of 3DEXPERIENCE Drive
for Windows.
Benefits: As per the preference for
installation of 3DDrive, the usability of the app changes.
While uploading or downloading files, a
dialog box displays the options to install the 3DEXPERIENCE Drive or continue
without installing 3DEXPERIENCE Drive.
If you choose Install, there is no change in the behavior of
3DDrive. You can work simultaneously with the files in SOLIDWORKS and keep it synced
with 3DDrive.
If you choose Continue without Install, the files will not be
synced automatically. However, you can perform all the operations of upload, download,
and drag a file from 3DDrive to SOLIDWORKS. Also, when you drag multiple files from
3DDrive to SOLIDWORKS all the selected files open in SOLIDWORKS. But if you drag an
assembly structure in SOLIDWORKS, only the assembly is downloaded and opened in
SOLIDWORKS. The reference files are not downloaded.
