McMaster-Carr components - search for only products with CAD Files

Anonymous

Hi all

 

I like the new McMaster Carr file import feature but I wonder, does anyone know a way to filter their products to only show ones that actually have CAD files?

 

If not, perhaps I should create a new feature request. Would others support this?

 

Cheers

 

Chris

Hi Chris, 

 

I really like your suggestion.  I've hunted around the site also looking for CAD files and it can take a while. I looked at the site and was unable to find a way to filter on CAD files.  

I wanted to address you comment about suggesting a feature:  The McMaster-Carr insert command is simply a connection to the McMaster-Carr web site that is contained in a Fusion360 window, so it isn't technically part of Fusion 360.  We are just providing a quick access to the content from within Fusion 360 and automate the download and insert of the CAD files from the web site but we have no control over how the McMaster-Carr website operates.

 

Thanks for using Fusion 360.

 

Colin

Looking at the implementation of McMaster-Carr, what they did is creating a build in web browser, so you're still accessing the manufacturer site (MMC) and any control you're seeking that is in the browser is beyond F360 control.
