Jeff, maybe you know something about the reasoning behind this, or you can tag somebody that could help on this one. I'm curious why when you select a component (working in assemblies, not multi-body parts) in the graphics window and enter the right-click menu, nobody ever thought it would be a good idea to have a toggle for the show/hide part visibility. I use the visibility toggle in Inventor all the time and consequently, I always forget and go looking for it in Fusion.

 

I love the "find in browser" and "find in window" functionality when it is appropriate to use them. But it just creates extra clicks when I have to go to the menu, click "find in browser", scroll up in the browser depending where it lands when it gets highlighted and then toggle the visibility from there.

 

This workflow could be a lot faster and streamlined with a shortcut in the right-click menu. Obviously, the functionality is already there, so is this something we could have added in an upcoming release?

 

Cheers

Also, along those same lines, how does anybody feel about a browser search or filter where you can sort like visible/hidden, type component name to search the list, etc?

RMB on a body brings up this menu (which applies to bodies)-

double clicking will select the component instead, then right mouse brings up this menu for components-

open mouth. insert foot.

 

I've never actually double-clicked on a component before. I did not know that menu existed.

 

Thanks @laughingcreek. The question still stands for the browser search/filter...
