Pin Icon for "Ground" and "Unground" entry in component context menu

Pin Icon for "Ground" and "Unground" entry in component context menu

When right-clicking on a component, the "Ground"/"Unground" entry doesn't have an icon.

This makes the entry hard to find, as grounding has a prominent and recognisable pin icon both on grounded components and in the timeline, and I subconsciously search for that instead of the written word.

 

I think it would reduce confusion if that same icon was also present in the context menu next to "Ground". For "Unground", the respective timeline icon could also be used.

Come see my topic.. We definitely need to streamline the use of such an important feature when building assemblies. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-ideastation/grounding-should-always-be-in-right-click-drop...

My vision is that you select a face, body, component, and that ground/unground is always available in the right click dropdown, and it will simply automatically ground the entire component associated with whatever you have selected whether it be a face, spline, surface, body, component, etc and as long as that component related is valid, it will allow you to ground/unground without having to go to model tree on the left, thereby saving a huge amount of movement and clicking and searching.
