Options Dialog Box in Tools Tab

The Options dialog box can be accessed from the Tools tab of MySession widget. This dialog box is divided into two tabs as Save and Open. Each of these tabs has different options. All the operations relating to either save, open, or generating output are grouped together.

Warning: Do not manually update the related registry settings.

Save

This section describes the options that are related to the Save operation.

Option Description
Enforce copy to MyWork folder before saving This option is coupled with Enforce auto-naming option on the Settings page of the Platform Management widget. Selecting this option always displays the Copy to MyWork folder during the save process for unsaved files.
Use original filename as Title This option is coupled with Enforce auto-naming option on the Settings page of the Platform Management widget. When you select this option, the original name of an object is retained and the same is displayed on the CAD Family Title. If the option is not selected, the Display Name is by default aligned to the auto-name. Also, if the CAD Family Title is changed in the Collaborative Lifecycle, the changed title appears in the SOLIDWORKS.
Note: If the CAD Family title is changed, the updated title is visible when you perform reload from server operation.
Save Graphical Properties With this option, you can save the graphical properties of an object. When this option is selected, the hide/ show state and the color information are visible on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Only those graphical properties that are applied in SOLIDWORKS are saved to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The Duplicate or Revise operations duplicates the properties. Also, the Save as New Revision operation takes into account the graphical properties during the save process.
Notes:
  • Saving the graphical properties of the data is not applicable for the save operation using the batch process.
  • Choosing this option might affect the save performance.

The other Save options are managed by the Administrator on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. For more information, see Installation and Setup | Social and Collaborative | Multidiscipline Configured Product Development (Collaborative Design) | Design with SOLIDWORKS | Configuring Attributes Settings in 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

The values defined for the save settings on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, are reflected in the Admin settings on 3DEXPERIENCE section.

Open

This section describes the options that are related to the Open operation.

Option Description
Refresh MySession after open This option automatically refreshes the MySession widget.
Warn in case of revision conflict This option displays a warning if the assembly uses multiple revisions of the same component.
Note: This option is selected by default.
Choose Open Mode before Open With this option, the Open Mode dialog box appears to the select a mode for a document. For more information, see Open Mode.
Filter 3DEXPERIENCE engineering items with no geometry This option is coupled with the Filter 3DEXPERIENCE engineering items with no geometry option on the Settings page of the Platform Management widget. Depending on the value chosen in the Settings page, the option can be selected or de-selected.

The presence of engineering items without geometry in a structure is discarded when the structure is opened in SOLIDWORKS. If the engineering items are added to the structure from SOLIDWORKS, the structure is not filtered to display the nonengineering items irrespective if the option is selected or not selected. In this case, the complete product structure is loaded in MySession.

Note: The filtering is applicable only if the engineering item is instantiated under a SOLIDWORKS node.
