New 3D Print menu is really bad

markaabo — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 15:48:01 GMT

The new 3D export menu is bad, it adds new steps that aren't necessary which takes more time and is annoying, it now takes extra steps to export since it doesn't pop up directly with the folder selection, also it now doesn't take the selected body name as the file name requiring the user to again do an extra step and rename the file output name...

Please devs revert to the old one or make the new one integrated in the side bar menu instead as optional steps, like you have a button to send to 3d print utility add a button for the team sharing thing you added a new menu for so the user can select to just export the file with the name of the body as output name like before and they can also do the team thing your trying to integrate.

+1 - as you say this new window just adds an unnecessary step to get to standard explorer window with folder and file view. And if over-writing an existing file, I get asked twice if I am sure I want to overwrite it - once from the explorer window, and a second time from the Fusion dialogue, which is pretty annoying as this is a standard part of workflow for me, and I suspect many other peoples.

Had similar issue with the post processor dialogue being changed and becoming largely non-functional, except there there was a setting in preferences to revert back, would really appreciate the ability to do the same here. Devs seem to be on a drive to to re-invent the wheel when it comes to exporting files, I have no idea why. Classic explorer window is all that is required!

Exactly my point, I am also getting asked twice when overwritting a file, it really seems like they didn't test the feature before implementing it
