Pinning and Unpinning Recent Documents

You can pin a document to the Recent Documents list. This lets you create a set of favorite documents.

To pin a document:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Click Welcome to SOLIDWORKS (Standard toolbar), or > Welcome to SOLIDWORKS, or Welcome to SOLIDWORKS on the SOLIDWORKS Resources tab in the Task Pane.
    • Click File > Open Recent.
    • Click File > Open Recent > Browse Recent Documents or press R.
      If no documents are open, you can access recent documents directly from the File menu.
    • 3DEXPERIENCE users can click File > Open and in the Open from 3DEXPERIENCE dialog box, pin and unpin recent files displayed on the Home tab.
  2. Hover over the item for the document, and click Pin or Unpin .

    A pinned document remains at the top of the list or the beginning of the tile sequence until you unpin it.
