Inventor 2023 GUI - "Open file location" missing from pop-up

SEC_MECH — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 22:56:17 GMT

Not sure why the Home GUI had to change in 2023 edition of Inventor.

Where has the "Open file location" option gone when right-clicking a part or assembly in the Recent area. I have many assemblies that look alike and have similar names. I know the correct file by where it is stored. I don't want to start accidentally working on the wrong file. Please add this back in.

Have a look at this thread: Solved: Re: Explore containing folder from 2023 Home tab - Autodesk Community - Inventor

And then go vote for this idea in the Ideas Forum: 2023 Home Screen - Autodesk Community

Looks like you have solved it. For us chumps who have never used iLogic it seems more difficult. I shouldn't need to resort to programming because a feature was removed because of an "upgrade".

@SEC_MECH - I think you'll find everyone here (and on those posts I linked) thinks the same, but if you read those posts, Autodesk freely admitted that the 2023 Home Screen is a regression, and they're planning to have it updated as soon as they can. There were so many features of 2023 I needed, the Home Screen was the least of my worries, and the iLogic was an "easy" fix.

If you have any trouble implementing the iLogic, reply to this post. I now use it far more frequently than I ever did from the Home screen.

If you want to test these things before they make it into the commercial version of Inventor, get on to the beta forum and have your voice heard by the developers: Solved: Inventor Feedback/Beta Project - How do I get access? - Autodesk Community - Inventor
