Override RevisionLets you override the next automatic revision number.


Explore in WebLets you log in to the X-CAD Design Management, that is, the Web client.


Select FilesOpens the Select Files dialog box, where you can specify a wildcard pattern to select files.


Open File ListOpens the file list in Windows Excel so that you can print or save a spreadsheet containing the information.


Save File ListSaves the file list as a comma separated values file with the extension .txt.
View ModeLets you select Details or Content. Details provide up to nine columns of information, some of which include check boxes for you to select. Content can provide the same information in fewer columns and includes a thumbnail next to each file name.
Hide PreviewLets you toggle between:
  • Hide Preview , which displays a thumbnail of the selected file. Click to hide the thumbnail.
  • Show Preview hides the thumbnail of the file. Click to show the thumbnail.

Increment Revision Table - Details View

These are the standard columns available in Details view when all columns display.

File NameSelected 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.
ResultResult of validation, either OK, which indicates that the files are available, a warning, or an error.
Inc. Rev.Files for which revisions is to be incremented.
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 are 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  • Out of Date - There is a new iteration of the file on the 3DEXPERIENCE server.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.

For a referenced file, the left digit represents the attached iteration (the iteration in the working folder when the parent file was most recently checked in.) The right digit shows the latest iteration of the file. For example, 3/6 means that 3 is the attached iteration and 6 is the latest available iteration in the database.

New Iter.Before you select to increment a file, displays the file letter/number iteration on the 3DEXPERIENCE server. After you select a file to increment, displays the incremented iteration.
Checked Out ByUser who has the file checked out, or blank if not checked out.

You can only increment the revisions of files that have not been checked out.

Object TypeThe object type for the file. Users select the object type when they do an initial check-in.
Found InThe location path for the file.
StateWorkflow state of the file, for example, In Work, Frozen, Released or Obsolete.

Increment Revision Table - Content View

These are the standard columns available in the Content view when all the columns display. You can customize the column display and add more information to the Properties column.

File Displays:
  • Thumbnails of the selected files and files referenced by them. For assemblies, the list can include drawings, parts, sub-assemblies, and SOLIDWORKS Simulation files.
  • File names of the selected files and the files referenced by them.
    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.
  • Checked Out By - User who has the file checked out, or blank if not checked out.
  • State - Life Cycle state of the file
ResultDisplays:
  • Result of validation, either OK, which indicates that the files are available, a warning, or an error.
  • 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 are 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.

    For a referenced file, the left digit represents the attached iteration (the iteration in the working folder when the parent file was most recently checked in.) The right digit shows the latest iteration of the file. For example, 3/6 means that 3 is the attached iteration and 6 is the latest available iteration on the database.

  • New Iter. - Before you select to increment a file, displays the file iteration letter/number pair available on the 3DEXPERIENCE server. After you select a file to increment, displays the incremented iteration.
OptionsInc. Rev. for selecting the files to increment.
PathsFound in, which is the location path for the file.
PropertiesObject Type, which is the object type selected at the initial check in for the file. This column also contains the Properties you select from the Choose Properties dialog box.
