Bring Back Windows File Browser for Projects (2022.2.1 update)

[el_jefe_de_steak]

Please bring back the Windows default file browser for projects! The Autodesk file browser that shows the "quick buttons" on the left hand side is much harder to navigate than the standard Windows one that allows you to use the full file tree on the left hand side.

This was one of my favorite features of Inventor over AutoCAD.

We are all using Windows all day long, and it is just much easier if every file browser looks the same. This is new with the 2022.2.1 update specifically - Inventor versions before this used the standard Windows browser. Everyone is used to it, and likes how it works.

The folder browser on the left of the OLD image is key to my current workflow.  It lets me jump quickly up and down the folder tree to place files in the correct sub-directory.

Hi Folks,

There was indeed behavioral change since 2022.2 due to mixed behaviors. This has been reported as INVGEN-59701 (targeting 2022.3 update).

Many thanks!

This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2022.3 and Inventor Professional 2023. Special thanks to everyone who cast a vote for it.
