Once a Release candidate has been created, you can include additional parts, Assemblies, Drawings, Variable Studios, or files from the document you are currently in that exist in the currently active workspace. Parts derived from another document in a Part Studio or linked from another document in an Assembly are included automatically in the Release candidate. Users (Enterprise only) can also add objects from another document to a release candidate.

Adding objects to a Release candidate

Create a Release candidate and when the Create Release candidate dialog is open, you may begin to select additional objects for release:

  2. Select any Part Studios, Assemblies, Drawings, Variable Studios, or Files:
  3. Add Items to Release dialog

  4. You can use the search box to enter names or partial names of the selected object type. Note that if you are part of an enterprise, you also have the option to insert items from outside the current document.

    Selecting an object on the left adds it to the list of objects to be included in the release, on the right.

    When you add a top-level item from either a different version of the same document, or a version of another document, an icon appears beside the added item indicating it is linked from another version (indicated below by the red arrow):

  5. Click Add when you are ready to add the listed items (on the right side of the dialog) to the Release candidate in the Create Release candidate dialog.

    Use the red X to remove an object from the Release candidate, if necessary.

    If you add a part that is part of another release with a state of Pending, the dialog notifies you:
