Feature Description Renaming

[jmatsche]

Add a Name field similar to what is available in the Constraint Dialog Box to Feature Dialog Boxes to allow the user to change the name or description of a feature when creating it. This would eliminate the need for a slow, methodical double click in the browser to edit thte feature description and if the user still chose to double click in the browser to change the description but the timing was off the Dialog Box would open and the description could be changed there.

Accepted idea. Thanks!

This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2020. The framework of the new property panels that appear in Autodesk Inventor 2020 support the ability to rename the feature in the "breadcrumb" area before generating the feature (see the updated Extrude, Revolve & Hole property panels). Special thanks to everyone who cast a vote for it.

@dan_szymanski It would be very usefull to have this field for every feature that you create. Is that possible?

[dan_szymanski]

@ArjanDijk, Yes our new panel architecture allows for feature rename on creation. Our plan is to one day port every command to the panels so the experience is consistent.
