    If the selected object is of a supported type, the object is checked out from 3DEXPERIENCE and opened in Altium Designer.
    Notes:
    • In the 3DDashboard apps such as Product Structure Editor and Relations, the context menu entry Open With > Altium Designer is available to open supported altium objects in the Altium Designer.
    • You can also right-click supported Altium objects in 3DDashboard apps such as Product Structure Editor and Relations and select Open With > Altium Designer to open them in Altium Designer.
    • If a 3DEXPERIENCE product (VPMReference) is checked out, the connector detects it and initiates a new Altium Design project using the name or description of the 3DEXPERIENCE product. You can use this as the base for a new ECAD design.
