Drag from browser then save copy as & Replace - wish list?

[andrew_canfield]

Here is a simple idea but there's always a but..

Putting a concept together within an assembly a part can be dragged off the browser, open the part & do a save copy as then replace the copied part in the assembly (a bit clicky). Or create a new part (navigate through the folder structure to save - a bit searchy).

After dragging from the browser to the canvas could an ilogic  rule run using the already selected part & save copy as & replace the part in the browser? (this would save the renamed copy to the same folder as the first part).

The 'but' is how can the active browser component be identified?

I would suggest set this up as an external rule. The first message in this post

takes the selected part  and does a save as. A replace using the built in replace sub routine. API help will document that 

You can also use the pick function shown here this will allow the user to select the part after the rule has begun. You can change the selection filter target object depending on where your part will be in the assembly.
