- The
Preview tab displays an image of the selected
file. If you have
SOLIDWORKS
eDrawings installed, the preview includes functions that let you manipulate the
preview image.
- The
Properties tab displays the data card for the
selected file and lets you edit the card if you have checked out the file.
- When you select a file that has references to other files, the
Contains tab displays all the child references of
the selected file, including drawings.
- When you select a file that is referenced by other files, the
Where Used tab displays all the files in which the
selected file is used.
- The last active tab becomes the active tab the next time you select a
model.
In addition, the
Search tab lets you display a search form, where you
can enter criteria to search the entire database, the current workspace, or the
current folder and its subfolders.
The
Search tab is always right-aligned and always
visible. The other tabs –
Preview,
Properties,
Contains, and
Where Used – are customizable; you can hide them and
move them. You can make any view tab, including the
Search tab, the default tab, that is, the tab that
appears when you select a file or folder.
Note:
When you select a file, the system displays next to the
Search tab, the version information for the file.
