Quick Tip: Viewing SOLIDWORKS Relations on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform provides great insight into all the relationships that exist on your product - and I mean all the relationships. 

But sometimes, all you’re looking for are the relationships that exist between parts, assemblies, and drawings.  This is especially helpful when trying to understand the impact of a change.  Here’s an easy way to only see the SOLIDWORKS relationships.

  1. In the Bookmark Editor, select your design and choose “Relations” from the Tools Menu
  2. With the relations app now on the screen, choose the “Customize Relations” button on the toolbar.
  3. From the drop down, scroll down and choose “SOLIDWORKS Relations” and the click “OK”

Now your view of the relationships is filtered to just the SOLIDWORKS relationships

Bonus

As a bonus tip, if you always want the relations app on your dashboard, click the pin at the top of the app

This will add it to your dashboard and allow you to simply drag and drop a design any time you want to see it relations!   When your done, just minimize the relations app!
