Split Browser =>>> less scrolling

Kay_Rethmeier · ‎02-21-2017

Hi,

what about the possibility to split the current browser into two let say "areas", like an excel spreadsheet or word-doc.

This could be a great feature for working in large assemblies or parts with lots of features.

The picture illustrates only an example! Just having two browsers showing the same general situation, but with a different focus!

See slide:

Bye

User would like the ability to split the browser tree. This would allow for easier navigation of large assemblies. Similar behavior can be seen in Autodesk VRED with their split Scenegraph.

It would be nice to be able to split the assembly model tree pane in order to more easily add constraints between workplanes of parts that are toward the top and toward the bottom of the tree. See attached screen shot of a virtual view.

No kidding!!! this would increase productivity tremendously. Autodesk c'mon man!

Am I wasting my time browsing the internet hoping to find a way to split the browser screen in inventor? I wonder if Autodesk thought the industry wouldn't be using this software to this extent. Autosesk C'mon man!

Agree with rickygm1012- this was first posted in 2017- it’s nearly 2021!

Introduce an Excel style table split so that the upper part of the model tree is always in view. I am often working on models with probably hundreds of features, and when using blocks and user planes/axes, have to scroll all the way up to find them. Then all the way back down again, etc...

If there were a way to split the view (and I know some others have suggested this to be able to see View Reps), it would save many mouse miles and boost productivity.

I think each region (upper and lower) should have it's own scroll bar too.

I have no doubt there would be other uses too, like being able to browse through solid bodies.

I'd find this very useful in a large assembly with several hundred components. It would help me keep the origin folders of different components visible while I applied constraints.

Great idea and also I also suffer the same mouse mileage in large parts! Also useful in large assemblies when constraining against planes or flicking between view reps.

Like it! Most often the 'fundamental' sketches, planes etc. are at the top of the tree so being able to keep them instantly available makes a lot of sense.
