Managing a Workspace Folder

You can create and manage a workspace folder directly from the Client Connector.

This task shows you how to:

Creating a Workspace Folder

You can create a workspace or folder once the workspace is created using the context menu. Multiple folders and subfolders can be created under a workspace. For more information, see Workspace Context Menu.

  1. Click the Create new Folder in the context menu.
  2. Specify a name for the folder.
  3. Specify a description for the folder.
  4. Click OK to create the folder under the selected workspace in 3DEXPERIENCE.
    The workspace folder is created with the specified name and for the current user.

The created workspace folder is returned to the My Workspace search under the selected workspace.

Renaming a Folder

You can rename an existing folder.

  1. Click Rename in the context menu to open a dialog for specifying a new name for a folder.
  2. Click OK to save the new folder name in 3DEXPERIENCE. The updated name is displayed under My Workspace.
  3. Select Cancel to end the renaming operation and to close the dialog.

The renamed folder is returned to the My Workspace search under the selected workspace.

Deleting a Folder

You can delete an existing folder or all folders underneath in 3DEXPERIENCE.

  1. Click the Delete Folder in the context menu.
    The confirmation dialog appears.
  2. Click either yes or no to finish the deletion command.
    • To delete a folder in 3DEXPERIENCE, click Yes.
    • To end the delete command, click No.

The folder is deleted.

Removing All CAD Models from Folder

This menu is used to remove all the CAD Models existing in a selected folder from either just the workspace or both the workspace and database.

  1. Click the Remove all CAD Models from Folder in the context menu.

    Note: It does not consider the CAD Models present in the subfolders.

    The confirmation dialog appears.
  2. Click either Yes or No to complete the command.
    • To remove a CAD model from a selected folder, click Yes.
    • To end the remove operation, click No and you will return to the previous dialog box.
  3. In My Workspace view, you have two choices.
    • Remove the selections from the folder, but leave them in the database.

      The CAD Models are removed only from the current workspace, but the same CAD Models located in a different workspace or folder are not removed.

    • Remove the selections permanently from the database.

      This operation cannot be undone.

Moving a Folder

You can move a folder from one folder to another in the same workspace or from one folder to another in a different workspace.

  1. From the context menu, select the Workspace Folder Selection menu.
    In the opened dialog box, you can select the target Workspace/Folder.
  2. Click OK.
    This action moves the selected folder, along with its subfolders, to the selected target. Also, it moves all the CAD Models existing in the folder and subfolders to the new location.

The folder and it contents is moved to a new folder or workspace.
