Using Change Action

You can open data under change from web in Solid Edge®, perform your modifications, and save it under the opened Change Action. In the status bar, a tooltip displays the change name. When you click the name, a dialog box appears to manage the work under change.

Using Change Manager, you can:

  • View information about the Change Action in Solid Edge®.
  • Remove the change from the session.
  • Start the Change Action widget in the web using More. You can edit the properties of the Change Action in the web.

This task shows you how to:

Open Structure with Change Action from Product Structure Editor

You can open a structure with change from Product Structure Editor. You can define data, and associate a change in the Product Structure Editor widget. Then, you can log in from the web and open the structure in Solid Edge®.

Drag Change Action in Solid Edge

You can drag a Change Action from the Change Action widget, and drop it in a Solid Edge® window.

Context: In a session, you can manage only one change at a time. If you open data from the web that has a change (when another change is already present in the session), you can do either of the following:

  • Overwrite the active change
  • Cancel the open operation.
Note: This is also applicable when you drag a change.

Start Work Under from Change Widget

You can start Work Under from the Change Action widget in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform dialog box.

Context: The Change Action widget is available in the side panel in Solid Edge®.

From Start, select the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
The Change Action widget opens in the side panel.
