Editing Attachments of CAD and Dynamic Documents
The Edit Attachments action allows you to add or delete attachments (secondary content files) of CAD documents or dynamic documents. Typically, you use Edit Attachments to remove any stale secondary content, or, in the case of CAD documents, to attach an additional file (of a type recognized by the CAD application), that cannot be added in a CAD session.
Edit Attachments is available from the contextual menu of a checked-out object in a workspace, or from the Actions menu of the workspace information page for a checked-out object.
* 
The CAD document or dynamic document must be checked out, or be an uploaded or local cache object, for you to be able to edit the attachments.

To add an attachment:
1. On the information page for a checked out CAD document or dynamic document, select Edit Attachments from the Actions menu. In the workspace, select the Edit Attachments action from the row-level contextual menu of a checked-out CAD or dynamic document. The Edit Attachments window appears, listing the current attachments of the object in the Object List table, which displays the following information:
