Add Elements to My Collections

Common Functionality User Guide

General Facilities : Collections : Add Elements to My Collections

To add elements to a collection, use any of the following methods:

Select the required element in the Model Explorer and either right-click and select Add to Collections from the menu, or drag and drop the element into the Collections grid or the contents grid.

If the user has used the Add to Collections or Add Members to Collections menu option, the element is added to the current collection.

If the user has dragged and dropped the element from the Model Explorer, the element can be dropped directly onto a Collection in Collections list in order to include it in that collection. If the element is dropped outside the list of collections a new collection containing the element is created.

If the element was dropped onto the contents grid and a collection is currently selected, the element is added to that collection. If no collection is selected, elements cannot be dropped into the contents grid.

Alternately, select the required element in the Drawlist, and proceed as described for the Model Explorers.

Unlike the Model Explorers, multiple elements can be selected in the Drawlist, and added to the Collections grid. From the Drawlist window right-click Add to My Data. A new collection is automatically created containing the selected elements.
