Opening Content

You can open an existing model from a collaborative space. If a model is already open in the session, it is replaced with the new one.

  1. From the Home page, click Open.

    Note: The command is also available from the Standard section of the action bar.

    The content of your collaborative space appears in 3DSearch.

    For more information, see Using 3DSearch.

  2. In your search results, select an object, and then click OK.

    Notes:
    • Only one object can be selected.
    • You cannot open images or sheets.

The content is displayed in the work area.

Important: If the new content replaces a model which is not saved, a dialog box appears to let you save or delete the existing model before replacing it.
Tip: You can also open content by dragging an object available in a 3DSpace or in the search results directly in the work area.
