Change icon of fully constraint parts in assembly

Change icon of fully constraint parts in assembly

I hate to say it, but SolidWorks has different icons in the browser for fully constraint parts and parts that has some degrees of freedom left...

 

I would like to have that also within Inventor.

It is a usefull feature and (ex-) SolidWorks engineers ak me all the time, how in Inventor, they can easily see, if a part is fully constraint.

The "Degrees of Freedom" feature doesn't work with large assemblies. It would be nice, if you can see it in the browser.

 

See a suggestion how it can look in the attachment.

@WG1987, This idea was implemented 3 years ago.  The status of the idea is set to Implemented.

 

This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2022. Please review the Inventor 2022 What's New article here, regarding how this new capability might enhance your experience while constraining large assemblies. Special thanks to everyone who cast a vote for it.

 

Thanks and have a great one!

@dan_szymanski  Thank you for showing what you call an implementation.  The method you describe has it nested within Document settings. With it working much the same way as Object Visibility object, you would think it would be implemented there as well. There are those that don't want to see it and mostly never. Then there are those that want to see it almost always. At the application level would have been a desirable way to implement it.  Now it is another item that needs to be micro managed.  I guess those that know how to code, or have access to someone who can, will have to continue to use their implementations.  And just think, it only took Autodesk 7 years to get to that level after the original users requests.  So only late by 21 years.
