3DEXPERIENCE Exchange – Import and Export Package

March 21, 2024

Let us see how we can Import and Export Package with 3DEXPERIENCE Exchange.

Collaborating together with users outside of your company has always been better! Assembly files can be easily bundled into a single package file by using the Export as a Package capability. You can share this file with third-party suppliers so you can track and get back their modifications. Even the files that are editable within the package can be restricted.

Similar to SOLIDWORKS Pack and Go, but with more ease of use as well as integration with 3DEXPERIENCE Platform products, is this capability.

How to Export as Package:

1. In 3DEXPERINCE SOLIDWORKS, open the assembly file you would like to share with External Stack Holder.

2. To save, pick Tools from the 3DEXPERIENCE tab on the right, choose Export, and then select Export as Package.

3. On the launch of the export window, you have the option to mark assemblies and components as read-only or editable for whoever you are sharing data with

4. Following that, providing the package a name and choose Export. The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform permits you to save the package file (.sldpkg) locally or to 3DDrive.
