Managing Your Shopping Cart
PTC Arbortext Content Delivery lets you have as many shopping carts as you need to get the job done. One cart is your active cart. When you add a part to a shopping cart, that part is always added to the active cart. If you do not currently have a cart, one is automatically created for you when you add a part to the cart. If you do not order the current active cart, that cart remains your active one the next time you log in to the system.
Your carts are always available from the Select a cart option at the top of the page:
If you do not have any shopping carts or do not want any existing carts to be the active cart, click on the option and select Add a new cart to create a new active cart.
