Proposed workflow ;
- Your looking for an old file or component to add to a your latest assembly.
- You go digging for the old file in Data panel. Find it. Great!
- Would be good to have a simple check box or button that allowed a duplicate data panel to nest parallel ( like snapping two win explorer panes side by side )
- Then simultaneously I can navigate to the latest assembly as well > open it from the right pane > Drag the old component in from the left pane.
I do not see this functionality, therefor
Current workflow:
- Find old component and then open it.
- Find the new assembly file then open it
- Then "save as" the old component into a new directory creating an unwanted duplicate.
- Then drag that newly saved "duplicate" into the assembly. This might work in a lot of cases, but it does not help with staying organised with document control.
If this feature exists, then i missed it. As a lot of folks here agree, data panel lets the software down. Its nuts and worth a separate post, to "filter by type" how can that not be present.
Please bump this up so we can get this software brought out of 'Beta' thinking.
