Automatically add files created with "SAVE AS COPY" to the RECENT DOCUMENTS list
I would like to see Inventor automatically add files created with "SAVE AS COPY" to the RECENT DOCUMENTS list. I often use save as copy as a way to make a similar but unlinked part. The next thing I want to do after saving as copy is often (but not always) to open it.
Update: I noticed that someone had this idea, sort of. If the very next thing you do after saving as copy is an "open", it autopopulates the filename field as the name you chose for your previous "save as copy", but it does not start with the directory to which you saved the copy except by coincidence if it is the working folder for the last opened file. Also, if you do other work and then go to open the copy you saved, it often does not even do the autopopulate of the filename field on "open".
I can see no downside to puting saved copies in the recent files list, and it saves a minimum of 1 click, and avoids the above issues.
Or it should just give you a pop up message asking if you would like to open the copy after saving. I have though about this as well, would be a nice time saver as you don't have to browse to the copy to open it.
