Logging In to 3DEXPERIENCE platform

You can connect from AutoCAD to 3DEXPERIENCE platform using 3DEXPERIENCE > Login in AutoCAD.

Tip: If a restrictive User Account Control (UAC) is set, it is recommended to run the CAD tool in Normal mode. Running the CAD tool in Administrator mode with a restrictive UAC setting causes errors.


Before you begin:
  • In legacy or customer specific environments, the AutoCAD User role must be assigned to you by the Administrator.

    In baseline behavior environments, the relevant roles must be assigned to you by the Administrator. Connector for AutoCAD uses all the standard roles defined for baseline behavior. The Reader role for baseline behavior is derived from the Integration User role. For more information, see Business Roles in baseline behavior Administration User Assistance.

  • Ensure that you are assigned a AutoCAD and X-CAD Design Management license. For more information, see Connector for AutoCAD - Installation and Administration : Post Install Tasks : Assigning Licenses.
  1. In the AutoCAD tool bar, select 3DEXPERIENCE > Login .

    Note: AutoCAD connects to 3DEXPERIENCE if an active session exists.

    The Login to 3DEXPERIENCE platform dialog box appears.
  2. In the Username box, type your user name.
  3. In the Password box, type your password.

    Note: The Username and Password field is case sensitive. Ensure that you type letters in uppercase and lowercase exactly as specified by the Administrator.

  4. In the Select Credentials dialog box, select the options from the lists that you need for your current session.

    If you have been assigned only one credentials, then it is considered as default and the select credentials dialog does not appear.

    If you have been assigned multiple credentials, then the select credentials dialog appears.

    A credentials comprises of the following sections:

    Organization: The list contains company, business unit, or other organizations that you are associated with.

    Collaborative Space: The list of collaboration spaces that you have access to. A collaborative space is a workspace that contains objects related to a People and Organization project. For example, within the context of a specific project, you could have one collaboration space for Marketing and another for Engineering.

    Role: The list of roles assigned to you.

    Note: If credentialss are not available for a user, log in occurs without using the credentials.
  5. Click OK.

    To check whether your log on was successful, click 3DEXPERIENCE platform in the AutoCAD toolbar. All 3DEXPERIENCE platform commands except Login are enabled.
