Show recent file in cloud context

Show recent file in cloud context

While you can open recently used files from the home screen browser, you cannot easily find said file in its cloud environment. The idea is to remedy that by adding a cloud symbol in one of the corners of the thumbnail. The top right or bottom right hand side spring to mind. These do not seem to be in use in Revit 26.

@MiWolff, are you referring to something like this?

And if you hover over the icon it will give you this:

Yeah great. And then you make a screen shot, OCR it, copy it to the clipboard and get Revit to go there, how?

So, no that is not what I am refering to at all.

OIC, so you want the new view online button to also be available for individual files on the Recent tab?  I like it!

@Ric_Weber For your benefit, thanks for your vote. Sadly this not what I meant either. The idea is simply to get users from the recently used files view file to the corresponding folder view inside the autodesk docs - still inside the Revit home environment. Basically where you made your latest screenshot. That planet with the eye icon is sadly no good as it does not take into account what folder you are currently looking at when you hit it but will drop you at the top of the project and then have you find your own way to the folder you just came from. Maybe it is just me, but I would rather have Revit work for me than me having to work for Revit.

Wow!!  I have not actually used the tool at all so I hadn't realized that it didn't take you directly to the correct folder.  Also, being able to go from the recent files page to the Autodesk Docs (Autodesk Projects in the "New Revit Home") would be great and in either regard, it should take you directly to the correct subfolder in the Autodesk Docs folder in Revit or in ACC.  Or from the Recent Files page, go to the correct subfolder in Autodesk Docs in Revit, and then from there you could go to the correct subfolder in ACC if you desired.  

 

I'm liking your idea more and more!!
