Managing Secondary Content (CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE)
Manually Attaching Files Using Edit Attachments
From an information page, you can access and edit 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.
 |
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.
|
On the information page for a checked out CAD document or dynamic document, select Edit Attachments from the Actions menu. The Edit Attachments page appears, listing the current attachments of the object in an Attachments table displaying the following information:
