Connecting to the Platform from the 3DEXPERIENCE Tab

  1. Optional: To make the 3DEXPERIENCE tab available, do the following:
    1. Go to Tools > Add-Ins.
    2. Under Active Add-ins and Start up, select 3DEXPERIENCE.
  2. In the 3DEXPERIENCE tab, click Connect and log in to the platform using your 3DPassport credentials.
  3. Select a Collaborative Space and Role, and click OK.

The MySession widget opens and shows the active collaborative space in the top bar. You can start lifecycle operations with SOLIDWORKS models.

When you log in to SOLIDWORKS, you automatically log in to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
For subsequent logins you can use the above steps or do one of the following:
  • On Premises Only: Start SOLIDWORKS using the SOLIDWORKS shortcut created by Windows and use the Connect menu from MySession to connect to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
  • From the desktop, click the 3DEXPERIENCE shortcut and specify your login credentials to connect to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
The notification area of the task bar displays the 3DEXPERIENCE icon when you are connected. When you right-click the icon, you have two options:
  • Exit 3DEXPERIENCE PLM Services: Closes the application.
  • My Credentials: Opens the My Credentials dialog box, which displays information about the tenant you are connected to, the collaborative space title, the organization name, and the role assigned.
