Add 'Open Component' Right-Click Option When Selecting Patterned Assembly Components

Add 'Open Component' Right-Click Option When Selecting Patterned Assembly Components

Whenever wanting to open a patterned assembly component from within the top level assembly file, it is painstakingly necessary at the moment to expand the pattern feature in the browser, then expand the element in the browser, then right click the component needing opened, and finally selecting the 'Open' option in that menu. Super inefficient, and wastes everyone's time. The simple solution for this mindless process would be to simply add an 'Open Component' option under the right-click menu whenever a patterned component is selected within the view window. Please add this on the next minor software update patch.

Hi @tstout9GFVP,

 

what would happen if you have multiple different parts inside your pattern? Could be added but only for patterns that have 1 type of part. A fast way to do it is to : Shift+right click, Select part only, then select your part. It's fast when you are use to it.

@MKE_Howarda simple drop-down menu of the patterned components would do the trick, by which the user then selects on the particular component to open.

I think it would be equally faster to just directly go in your model browser but it's an idea for sure. Thanks
