Adding Bookmarks

3DEXPERIENCE users can use the Add to Bookmark tool to add SOLIDWORKS files to the Bookmark app, which helps organize your files into folders so you can easily find them.

You can also use the Add to Recent Bookmark tool to add files to one of the recent bookmarks and avoid navigating through the Bookmark folder structure.

To add bookmarks:

  1. Click Tools > Lifecycle and Collaboration > Bookmarks > Open Bookmark Editor .
    The Editor displays the Bookmarks app and its folders.
  2. To bookmark a file, in the FeatureManager design tree, select the file and do one of the following:
    • In the Lifecycle and Collaboration CommandManager, click Bookmarks > Add to Bookmark .
    • In the Lifecycle and Collaboration toolbar, click Add to Bookmark .
    • Click Tools > Lifecycle and Collaboration > Bookmarks > Add to Bookmark.
    In the FeatureManager design tree, you can also right-click the file and select Lifecycle and Collaboration > Bookmarks > Add to Bookmark.
    In the Tools > Customize dialog box, you can add the Open Bookmark Editor and Add to Bookmark commands as keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures. You can also search for and pin these commands to the shortcut toolbar using the S-key .
  3. In the Select a Bookmark dialog box, select a Bookmark folder or create a new Bookmark folder, then click Select to bookmark the file.

    Notifications:

    A notification confirms when a file is successfully bookmarked. If the file is already bookmarked in the selected location, a message notifies you.

    If a bookmark requires write access, a notification appears. Bookmarks in Frozen, Completed, or Archived states are typically read-only, preventing certain actions such as applying bookmarks during saving. In these cases, options like Select, Apply, Apply to All, and Apply to Selected are unavailable in the Select a Bookmark dialog box, the Save to 3DEXPERIENCE dialog box, the B atch Save to 3DEXPERIENCE tool, and the default bookmark selection in Tools > Options. While some actions, such as downloading from a bookmark, only require read access, the notification still appears to keep you informed.
