Save Dialog Box

You can save schematics, layouts, and ECAD project related data into 3DEXPERIENCE along with Product Structure. This page describes the generic user interface of the Save dialog box. Actual user interface varies depending on the object from where you launch the save dialog box.

This page discusses:

Save Dialog Panel

Below table describes the icons, fields, and check boxes in the Save dialog box and their functions:

User Interface Name Description
Bookmarks Opens Bookmarks dialog box. You can select and assign bookmark to selected objects or all objects.
Save Comment Select one or more objects and enter the reference comment in the Save Comment field. This reference comment is shown in the 3DEXPERIENCE Properties of the objects.
Delete After Save When you select this check box, the selected objects are deleted from the working library. The metadata of these objects is deleted from C:\Users\<USERHOME>\AppData\Roaming\DassaultSystemes\UALC\WorkingLibrary \.3DEXPERIENCE
Note: This check box appears only on the Save Electronic Physical Components dialog box and the Bulk-Save Electronic Physical Components dialog box.
Unlock Select this check box to unlock the selected CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE after save.

Table Panel

The table below explains all the columns in the Save dialog box in Design with Altium Designer:

Column Name Description
CAD Name Displays the name of the CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE. Click the name to open the object in the Relation Explorer app.
Actions

Define physical PCB : Used for engineering data for an object. For more details, see Assigning a Physical PCB.

Show Product Structure Update: View product structure modifications. For more detals, see Viewing Updates to a Product Structure.
Title Displays the title of the CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
Revision
  • : Creates a new revision. If the next revision is chosen in the drop down box, the object is selected directly. If the checkbox is cleared, the object switches back to its original revision.
  • : Creates a new revision for a new object or for objects saved as new. New is displayed by default for objects that are not saved to 3DEXPERIENCE.
Rev Displays the current revision of the object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
Status Displays the status of the CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
CAD Type Displays the CAD type of the CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • ALTIUM PCB Project: Type of the project CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • ALTIUM Layout: Type of the Layout CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • ALTIUM Schematic: Type of the schematic CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • ALTIUM Output Job: Type manufacturing data CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • Physical Product: Type of the Physical Product in 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • IDF Data: Type of the IDF CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • ActiveBOM document.
  • Draftsman document.
Description Description of the CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
Tip:

You can update the Description field in 3DEXPERIENCE during Save, by creating a parameter named "Description" on a project and “Sheet Description” on a Schematic in Altium Designer. The description field under the Save dialog gets updated after successful save of the design into 3DEXPERIENCE.

Maturity State Displays the maturity state of the object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
Lock Status Specifies the lock status of an object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
Lock Owner

Displays the name of the user who has locked the corresponding object in 3DEXPERIENCE.

Collaborative Space Displays the name of the space where object is saved.
Bookmarks Displays assigned bookmark for the object. One object can have multiple bookmarks that are displayed in multiline tooltip.

Context Menu

The following table lists the options available in the context menu when you right-click object in the Save dialog box:

Option Description
Add to Selection Adds or removes multiple selected objects for save.
Remove from selection
Lock Locks the selected CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE. Once locked, the name of the user who locked the object is displayed in the Lock Owner field of the Save dialog.
Unlock Unlocks the selected CAD object in 3DEXPERIENCE from the CAD Tool. Once unlocked, the name of the user who locked the object is removed from the Lock Owner field of the Save dialog.
Save as new revision Saves the selected object or document as a new revision.
Save as new Save existing objects as new objects in 3DEXPERIENCE.
Reset to current Revision Resets the revision state of the object to the revision of the object the save was initiated from. For example, reset is applicable if the revision was changed or if the object was saved using Save as New.
3DEXPERIENCE Properties Displays details related to the selected object in 3DEXPERIENCE in a separate dialog box. The dialog box displays Information of all attributes of the object, X-CAD Representation Extension, and the view of the object in 3DEXPERIENCE.
