In
this lesson, you lock a part on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, work on it, save it back
to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, and unlock it.
Before modifying a file, you should
lock it to reserve it. Locking the file prevents other members of the team from
modifying the part while you are working on it.
To
open a file on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform:
-
Click
.
-
In the Open dialog box,
select a thumbnail of the part in the Recent pane and click Open.
Thumbnails of models saved on the platform have a cloud in
the left corner.
-
With
the file open, right-click it in MySession and select Lock.
-
Hover over the Status in
MySession.
The tooltip identifies the part as locked by me.
-
Continue editing the part in SOLIDWORKS Connected.
The tooltip under Status shows that the file is being modified in
session.
-
Right-click the part in MySession and click Save with Options.
You can also select Save. This command saves the file to the local cache on
your computer. It is helpful when you want to save edits quickly.
-
To release the file, right-click the part in MySession again
and click Unlock.
When you save the modified file to the platform, unlock it. Unlocking
releases the file and lets other members of your team access it in the
collaborative space.
MySession updates the status with the unlocked icon.
