We have an 'Approved By' field in our title block that would benefit from using the approver's initials, rather than their full Upchain name.  By using the title-block placeholders, it would be nice to have an option to insert their initials. Show More

The ticketing support system not only has a lot of un-used features for Upchain, because it is like a text machine it does not record our first initiation in the automatic reply email. Also it is very hard to find any attachments you may have provided to help solve your issue and when you try to read back through your email trail there is loads of white space, jargon we don't need to see. In the screen grab attached you will see a perfect example, what did I reply to this email?? Why all the question marks, why no record of my reply email, why so hard to read?   The simplest way to fix this is to just use email, we can email an address with our attachments, log files etc and these follow our ticket from start to finish.   I have team members who choose to suffer any problems they have because the ticketing system takes so long, hard to use, not very intuitive and it is a massive time vampire.   Bring back the old Upchain ticketing system and I am sure other customers would agree we would be a lot happier with the ease, simplicity and efficiency.       Show More

It is time consuming to assign BOM location to individual item separately, specially when an item has more than 20 configurations. Show More

Webapp, plugin, download windows, cBOM view(plugin) and BOM Anomalies windows have their own unique way of presenting the item statuses like Released, Development etc. Some of them use D and R icons while, the others use flags. I dont understand the reason of having two icon systems that both show the same item status when you could have a unified one. Show More

Currently, the highlights in the plug-in can be challenging for a colour-blind user. Particularly the blue highlight for a read-only item that has been changed, and the selected/currently active item. Another challenging thing for colour-blind users to see are the locks (these ones are challenging for me at times as well, since red and green are on opposite ends of the colour wheel). Colour-blind users have to rely on the hover over the lock to ensure they can figure out if they have the item locked or if someone else does. Overall, if there are ways you can continue to improve the interface for colour-blind users, it would be appreciated. Show More

I recently had the need to remove some users from my Tenant, to do this it is necessary to request support from Autodesk technical support, this is something very impractical and time consuming, the easiest thing would be for the Tenant admin to have the ability to remove users himself It's a change I really hope they make soon.

On Solidworks plugin, with the new Bom Wizard we have lost the ability to name the item name during item creation. The name of the item is by default the Cad filename, which is not always convenient. It would be nice being able to set the file name from the begining with an additional field on the bom wizard. Show More

When viewing items in Project Management dashboard, we would like the ability to Right-click and open items in new tab so that it loads the ProjectBOM in the new tab without closing the Project Management dashboard.   The reason for this request is that the PM dashboard takes a long time to load and if we accidentally or intentionally clicked on an item under the dashboard, it would close the PM Dashboard and open the item in ProjectBOM. Having the ability to right-click on one of the items and Open it in new tab would be great for this use-case. Show More

Improve advanced search capabilities to allow TRUE/FALSE search for checkbox fields and include more fields to search projects by.   "Example of fields to be able to search by: Item Version > Rec. Spare; should be TRUE/FALSE eBOM > Apvl; should be TRUE/FALSE eBOM > C of C; should be TRUE/FALSE eBOM > MTR; should be TRUE/FALSE eBOM > PC/WP; should be TRUE/FALSE eBOM > Spare; should be TRUE/FALSE Project > Project Drawing View; should be 1st angle/1st OR 3rd angle/3rd angle Project > Project Sheet Sizing Standard; should be American National Standard/European Standard Project > Public Project Project > Project Mechanical Cad Project > Project Electrical CAD" Show More

Enable the document section to pop out in the item view. This is especially useful when working with lots of documents and longer file names. Show More

What is the purpose of this idea board if Autodesk is not responding or acknowledging to any of the posts here? Show More

Ability to get a direct link to an item's documentation. This already exists for items, it's useful for anyone managing documents like the procurement team, to be able to share. Show More

We have been using the placeholder codes in our revision table and one issue we have seen is that if the revision description is longer than the size of the cell it overlaps onto the next columns instead of wrapping around. This applies to all fields that a placeholder code is used.  I have tested it with solidworks rev table format where the cell automatically wraps around and also with using separate notes with the word wrap setting turned on in sw properties for the note.    The other issue with sw formatting not getting applied to placeholder codes is that when using revision symbols with the rev table, the output does not have the text in the center and it get's offset beyond the extent of the symbol.      Show More

I don't see why the plugin should block the user from checking out a part within an unregistered assembly. Here, the unregistered assembly is automatically checked by the plugin and cannot be deselected. What I'm hoping to accomplish is just to check out all the parts within this assembly, but the assembly itself is meaningless so there's no good reason to make it an item.    My current workaround is to just create the item, but that just results in unnecessary items in PLM.  Show More

Looking for an improvement to visual indicators in the CAD plugin. This would be useful when working with a larger assembly, so that the user can see more easily, for example: what items got recently updated, which assemblies require an update, etc. Show More

Hi,  I would like to add items to an already created CR - I know that I could use the copy+paste function in the web-application but I would rather do it in the CAD-connector interface. In my work-orders I can navigate to the specific CR but from there I can only take a look at the items already attached to the CR and open those but I can´t add anything. The reason this came up is because of the function of an automated creation of a CR in the IR-workflow, but I can´t add any items to this CR unless I use the before mentioned time-consuming copy+paste function in the web-application   Thanks Show More

"When I do a bulk export from the web and select native CAD and choose to rename the files to Item numbers and revision it gives me both originally named filed and the renamed files. Which I fine. However, the renamed files are not referenced and still point to the original files. If I delete the original files no assembly will be able to locate the children. These CAD files are renamed to be sent to customers for review." Show More

When using the following API for data migration - /api/bom/v1/file-versions - it does not work properly when a single DWG file is being added to the item. The API is placing the DWG file in the drawing section of the item. Later when a customer tries to work with the DWG file, the CAD plugin cannot work with the file in this location. It errors b/c it expects to find/work with it in the cBOM section.   Furthermore, support states, "we agree that it is a best practice that the API should behave the same as the UI. In this instance, regrettably it does not." Also that "there is a workaround to get the dwg files correctly checked in, by using the AutoCAD(Generic) plugin." Reference CaseNo:21921525   This API needs fix. The workaround suggested by support is not a proper workaround at all. This API is one of many that are used in succession during a migration - to create new items with metadata (common + custom attributes), categorization info, supplier info, upload CAD and related documents, BOM structure, etc. This is done programmatically - in bulk - by the thousands. Using the CAD plugin to manage this after the fact is not practical.   Either the API should be updated to place a singular DWG file in cBOM area of the item, or the CAD plugin should be updated to work with that DWG file that the API places in the drawing area.     Show More

Depending on the situation, when saving a not registered assembly, a message may be received stating that some files will not be added to Upchain.  It would be great if some instructions were also added to the message stating how to fix this. For example: Download the files locally first and try saving again. Or something similar.   Show More
