Searching and Opening SOLIDWORKS Data in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

You can search and open SOLIDWORKS assemblies, parts, and drawings from various apps of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

To open and search for SOLIDWORKS objects:

Do one of the following:
  • 3DSearch: Enter the search criteria, right-click the object, and select Open.
  • Bookmark Editor: In the bookmark editor, search for the required object, right-click the object and select Open.
  • Relations: From relations, select an object and from the action bar click open.
  • Product Structure Explorer: In the bookmark editor, right-click the object and select Open.

    When you save a structure from SOLIDWORKS to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, and open it in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the structural organization on the components is aligned as seen in SOLIDWORKS.

  • File Explorer: From SOLIDWORKS, click File > Open browse for an object, and click Open.
