Make RMB click open the clicked model

Make RMB click open the clicked model

Hi all,

 

In the current situation Inventor opens the part/assembly you have selected. However, if you have a file selected and you want to open another file you have to do a LMB click on the part you wish to open, then RMB click -> open. If you directly RMB click -> open it'll open the part you had selected, which is confusing.

 

Can we have the RMB click select the part we RMB click on so it always opens the part which you are clicking on?

 

Also see the screenshot attached for some more details on this idea.

Thanks so much for creating this, I really hate how Inventor does this.

 

If you don't have anything selected and you RMB+Open, it opens what you RMB'd. So the behavior when you already have something else selected is inconsistent and annoying.

 

It's made especially confusing by the fact that the part you RMB'd is still pre-highlighted when you click "Open", making it seem like Inventor is going to open it, when in fact it's going to open the one you previously had selected.
