Add Option to Suppress "Ground and Root Components" dialog box with checkbox

[EricSchubert-Symetri]

When using the "Ground and Root Components" command in an assembly, the added dialog box that pops up since the 2018.2 update adds clicks to the workflow if you never change the settings.  Would love to see a checkbox to set default settings and "Don't show this again" to suppress the dialog box.  (Of course, also add this to the Prompts tab in the application options so you can change this behavior down the road for when you change your mind.)

Workflow would then be to simply select component(s) and right-click to pick "OK" or hit ENTER to finish the command.  Could also employ the mini-toolbars to add an "Apply" option.

Another customer commented that, the Ground and Roots feature has not work properly with defer update.

turn on "Defer update" > make a ground an roots : the flush made with warning.

Gronnd and Root feature is lacking polish. Perhaps with Defer Updates turned on, the Ground at origin option should be unchecked and grayed out?

Based on the feature working process user expecting that the ground and root should be grey out or deactivate when the defer update are turned on.

Hi @EricSchubert-Symetri, I realize this post is very old, but I wanted to point out that for those who don't change those options very often (or ever), the main advantage of the dialog is that it allows you to select more components (or de-select some) before committing the Ground and Root. It's similar to the Fillet tool in parts -- technically you can select the desired edges first, and then start the Fillet command... but almost no one does this. Most of the time, we start the desired command first, and then select the objects we want to participate in the command.

This is what that dialog allows you to do. This makes it more consistent with nearly every command in Inventor. Start command, perform selections, hit OK/Enter.

Another consideration is, as with other commands, having a dialog opens up the possibility for all kinds of useful enhancements to the "Ground and Root" experience in the future -- once that maybe you will find useful.

Hopefully that helps justify the existence of the dialog a little bit more.
