Large Assembly Scroll Bar Navigation

[anewenergy]

As assemblies get larger and more complex, it would be awesome to click on a part in the model window and have the menu screen scroll down to find it.   Here is a Screen Cast talking about this idea and how it relates to PCB board navigation.http://autode.sk/1MleiEs

Not just in large assemblies but in any nontrivial design, the navagation bar quickly becomes a huge / unwieldy mess

It would be annoying to see the menu bar scroll up and down while you are working with an assembly. What would be nice instead is adding an option to the mark up menu to find that component in the browser.

The ideal would be finding a way to clean up the navigation

@Anonymous that toption already exists. Left-click on an object in the timeline or in the viewport and select "find in browser".

The pronblem is really that it does not fold open the browser tree to the level of that component. It simply presents the blue dashed bread-crumb line under the top level assembly that component is located in but then you have to manually un-fold the browser and navigate to that component on foot, so to speak.

My Bad, thanks

@schneik-adsk I don't see a solution provided. While @anewenergy marked my comment as the solution it really was not an answer to his initial post but to @Anonymous 's post. There was no solution provided as I described how navigation works currently.

I voted for this idea because it's benefits are pretty clear for people that do real stuff with Fusion 360. People like Pat 😉

It's there,  my mistake.

If you right click on the part and selecte find in menu

I think it would also be awesome if the user could have the ability to lock the top (or header like in excell)  of the design tree. This way you could always have your Top level assembly or model, selcetion sets, joints planes etc. accessable. I've been working on a large imported assembly and find my self scrolling up and down a ton. 

Also Fusion needs to make is very obvious which component is activated in. The model tree is it too subtle. Maybe they could incorporate the actived component into locked header concept?
