File List - Details View

These are the some of the columns available in the Details view. You can choose which columns to display.

Name

Selected files and files referenced by them. For assemblies, the list can include drawings, parts, sub-assemblies, and SOLIDWORKS Simulation files.

Note: The related drawings can be in the current folder or in a folder elsewhere in the database. By default, Connector for SOLIDWORKS checks the entire database for related drawings. The scope of the search depends on administrative settings.

Result

Result of baseline validation. The file is available for the baseline if the column shows OK.

Local Iter.The first letter/number pair is the local (cached) iteration and the second pair is the iteration on the 3DEXPERIENCE server. Also part of the iteration listing for each file is one of the following:
  • Modified - The local file is modified after retrieval from the 3DEXPERIENCE server.
  • Out of Date - There is a new iteration of the file on the 3DEXPERIENCE server.
  • Local File - The file exists on the local disk but is not checked into the 3DEXPERIENCE server.
  • Latest Iteration - The local iteration and the iteration on the 3DEXPERIENCE server match.
  • No Local Copy - The file exists on the 3DEXPERIENCE server but there is no local copy.
