Attaching Existing 3DEXPERIENCE Objects to Bookmarks

You can attach objects that already exist in 3DEXPERIENCE, including documents, references, representations (both CATIA and non-CATIA representations) and favorites to bookmarks.

You can also use Cut, Copy and Paste, or drag-and-drop to add objects to bookmarks.

Note: Favorites are used to easily access content and rebuild saved data quickly. You can attach Navigation favorites and Authoring favorites to bookmarks. You cannot attach Search favorites to bookmarks.


Before you begin: The bookmark to which you want to attach objects must not be a root bookmark.
