Using the User Assistance Panel

When you press F1 in a tooltip,

additional assistance is displayed in a User Assistance (UA) panel. This type of information allows you to stay immersed in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, without having to open the User Assistance portal.

  1. In your work session, press F1.
    The UA panel opens on the right side of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform window.

    • For native apps, the UA panel is updated whenever you press F1 for another command. However, if you run another command without pressing F1 afterwards, the UA panel is not updated: in that case, click Refresh at the bottom of the UA panel.
    • More help on this topic is available to access dedicated help in the User Assistance portal.
  2. Click Unpin or move anywhere in the docking bar to display the UA panel again.
  3. Optional: In the UA panel, click Pin to turn off the auto hide capability and make the UA panel always visible.
  4. Click to close the UA panel.
