I'd love to have the ability to place projects into folders. On the "PROJECTS" page, all I see is "New Project." I know there's a folder option if I go into a project, but I'd like to have folders that contain projects. Is that possible? Is this already a feature that exists and I'm just missing it?
This thing was also weird for me, the word "project" in my opinion describes a part, a drawing .. let's say I need to make an arduino case, or an LCD case, or a GoPro gimbal .. those things are each a different project, but why folders are inside a project, and not the opposite way , projects inside a folder, I don't understand, I don't understand the logic behind naming "projects" the root element.
I work with few clients, each client sends me DXF files I need to mill, some daily, others weekly, it was very simple for me as I use a network drive to store the files (easily accessing files from the mill PC or office PC), so each client has a FOLDER , inside that folders I have the PROJECTS, this seems to me quite straight forward , it's not confusion as all projects I made for Client 1 are found in that folder, all projects made for Client 2 are in Client 2 folder.
So to be able to keep my structure as I'm used to , I made multiple PROJECTS (weird 🙂 ), each one named "Client 1", "Client 2" ... inside those "PROJECTS" I placed the files for actual projects ...
I wish I could vote for this a million times. It's crazy to me that all my projects are floating around together and that I can't categorize them in folders. I would love to have a "Client 1" folder, or a "Widgets" folder to ease the confusion every time I look at my Data Panel.
This is a mandatory feature for anyone who is a production or even frequent user!
One solution I can think of, would be to prefix your projects with customer names/numbers, class names/numbers, etc., then you can search by those prefixes to filter your projects (there is a search field in the upper right corner). I don't like this much as I work with many customers and data security is critical, even down to the names of other customers. Not to mention unwieldy project names... we are all used to the good old folder structure paradigm. 🙂
I also need this addition of categorized projects that you can minimize. I have the exact same issue as the previous poster. My students are sharing projects with me, which is making everything unmanageable.
How is this not already a feature? Did no one at Autodesk ever create more than a few projects? Even as a hobbyist my list is already getting unweildy!
