  1. Open or model a component (assembly) in your CAD system.

  2. Select My Library [User library] -> own part . [Add own part]

  3. -> The Select destination dialog opens.

  4. Optionally, click on New folder [New directory] to create a new subfolder first.

    -> The dialog of the same name opens. Enter the name [Last name] and designation [Description] and confirm with OK.

  5. Select the folder in which you want to add the component and confirm with OK.

    -> The part is now stored under My library [User library].

    [Note]Note

    A geometric classification (fingerprint) is automatically carried out during the check-in process, so that the part is also available for the geometric search.

    Click on Insert 3D in the PARTsolutions menu.
