In the DesignCenter Online window, two panes are displayed—a right pane
and a left pane. The right pane is called the content area. The content area
displays the items or folders that you selected in the left pane. The left pane
can display one of the following four views:
■ Category Listing. Displays folders containing libraries of standard parts,
manufacturer-specific content, and content aggregator websites.
■ Search. Searches for online content. You can query items with Boolean
and multiple-word search strings.
■ Settings. Controls how many categories and items are displayed on each
page in the content area as a result of a search or folder navigation.
■ Collections. Specifies the discipline-specific content types that are displayed
in DesignCenter Online.
You choose the view by clicking the heading at the top of the left pane.
Once you select a folder in the left pane, all of its content is loaded into the
content area. You can select an item in the content area to load it into the
preview area. Items can be downloaded by dragging them from the preview
area into your drawing or tool palette, or by saving the items to your computer.
NOTE If the DC Online tab is not available in DesignCenter and you want to access
DesignCenter Online, see your network or CAD administrator.
