Setting "Show Constraint State in Browser" should be an apllication setting

Setting "Show Constraint State in Browser" should be an apllication setting

Hi, 

we like the option to show constraints in the browser that was new in Inventor 2022. 

Unfortunately it is a document setting, so old assemblies are not effected / need to be updated manually. 

Could this become a application setting in the future?

Regards, Robin

@RobinKaltenbach we have ever considered this option in Application Options, but it may cause the performance regression when loading the legacy large assembly with this option on in Application Options dialog. So we consider to move it to document settings, and users can decide whether there is need to show the constraint status after loading the assembly. Does it make sense for you? Thanks!

@Yijiang.Cai I understand your point. But in the apllication options, I could still deactivate it when performance losses are too bad.... For us the issue is,  our users are creating "new" files 99% via Copy Design. In most cases the option might be helpful, but realistically our 200 designers won't enable the option everytime they copy an old file. My idea for a workaround would be an iLogic enabling the option when opening an assembly file. 

For me, application options would still be the best option. The user could still decide whether using the option or not (for better performance).

@RobinKaltenbach I can understand your idea. If we place the option in Application Options dialog, it will be the global option for the all documents, and there is no setting for individual document here. 

 

As to the iLogic solution, you can create the external rule, and use the event trigger like "After Open Document" to run the rule. Please see the code lines below. This will work for each open document.

 

ThisDoc.Document.ModelingSettings.ShowConstraintStateInBrowser = True
ThisDoc.Document.Rebuild2
