Autodesk Seek Design Content Opens a web browser and displays the
Autodesk Seek (
SEEK on page 1106) home page. Product design information
available on Autodesk Seek depends on what content providers, both corporate
partners and individual contributors, publish to Autodesk Seek
(
SHAREWITHSEEK on page 1118). Such content could include 3D models, 2D
drawings, specifications, brochures, or descriptions of products or components.
Tree View (DesignCenter)
Displays the hierarchy of files and folders on your computer and network
drives, a list of open drawings, and a history of the last locations you accessed.
Select an item in the tree view to display its contents in the content area.
NOTE In the sample\designcenter folder are drawings containing discipline-specific
blocks that you can insert in drawings. These drawings are called symbol library
drawings.
Use the buttons in the toolbar at the top of DesignCenter to access tree view
options.
Folders Displays the hierarchy of files and folders on your computer and
network drives, including My Computer and Network Neighborhood.
You can use ADCNAVIGATE to navigate to a specific file name, directory
location, or network path in the DesignCenter tree view. See ADCNAVIGATE
on page 18.
Open Drawings Displays all drawings open in the current work session,
including drawings that are minimized.
History Displays a list of the files that you opened most recently in
DesignCenter. With the history displayed, right-click a file to display
information about the file or to delete the file from the History list.
DC Online Accesses the DesignCenter Online web page. When you establish
a web connection, two panes are viewed on the Welcome page. The left side
displays folders containing symbol libraries, manufacturer sites, and additional
