How to Manage Starred Files

Overview

Star a file in CAD ROOMS to make it easier to find and access later.
Starred files appear in two places:
  • The Starred section at the top of the project’s Cloud Drive.
  • The Starred Section in the Workspace navigation, which shows starred files across your Projects
    • The Starred menu in the CAD ROOMS workspace navigation listing a starred file.
You can star checked-in and checked-out files. Files that are staged and awaiting contribution cannot be starred until they are contributed.
