  • : This indicates that the object is new in the AutoCAD session and does not exist in 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • : Indicates that the object exists in 3DEXPERIENCE and has been modified after downloading from 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • : Indicates that the object is in 3DEXPERIENCE and is not modified after downloading it from 3DEXPERIENCE.
Lock Status

Displays the reservation status of the object. This column is empty if the object does not exist in 3DEXPERIENCE. It is represented by three icons as follows:

  • : Locked by you
