Task Pane

The Task Pane contains several tabs that all serve different purposes.

You can access the 3DEXPERIENCE file management and collaboration tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE tab in the Task Pane. MySession is where you can view part and assembly metadata, select lifecycle management commands, and connect to a collaborative space within the platform.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Files on this PC tab lets you access the locally cached files within your SOLIDWORKS Connected environment.

You can also access SOLIDWORKS resources, libraries of reusable design elements, views to drag onto drawing sheets, and other useful items and information. These tabs include:
  • Design Library
  • File Explorer
  • View Palette
  • Appearance, Scenes, and Decals
  • Custom Properties
