Use the Subscribe dialog to register or subscribe to parts or items of interest that reside within a corporate PDM system. Once the parts have been subscribed to, the dialog helps to ensure that you are working with the latest information by allowing you to quickly check whether any subscribed to parts have been updated, and to seamlessly retrieve updated information and files for those that have.          

To open the Subscribe dialog, click File > Subscribe from the menu bar.      

Note: The Subscribe dialog is only available in HyperMesh stand-alone and HyperMesh Desktop clients. The Subscribe option is only active if you have previously registered at least one PDM repository. See Select a Repository for more information.
