Autodesk Viewer Requests from Production Floor

Autodesk Viewer Requests from Production Floor

Here's a video with some user requests over the last year. We have implemented the 3D model as a tool on the production floor and here are some of the most popular wishes....

Thanks for listening...

Need a way to force customization on all browsers. when you clear cache, have to re-set them up.

"Free Orbit" needs to be the default for mechanical, it never remembers the setting...

Please in the Thin Client, allow the possibility to resize the thumbnails
it's the biggest criticism I hear from production

Need ability to hide icons on toolbars for mechanical. These are not used and just confuse the users...

In the manufacturing world most cases we use wider screens that taller taller ones. Therefore we have more empty space on sides of viewer. Would be nice to move toolbar to sides vs on bottom.

Also, had several request to be able to remove buttons. These don't do much in manufacturing world...

One more request is to roll-up toolbar or ability to pin it if roll-up is allowed....being able to dock toolbar on side or move around might take care of this request.

Another request is to be able to have larger buttons on toolbar. We are using from 10" to 70" screens on production floor. Sometimes bigger buttons help the users.

I think this one is already on the table...but need ability to change Model State or View Rep that is shown. Right now, the only one you can view is the one that was active when file was saved. Design Review provided this capability!!! Went backwards on this one.

Need ASAP.

Hi

It would be preferable to have better control to understand if the document has multiple pages and to be able to scroll through them (the current system is completely inefficient). Having the option to print all the sheets would be helpful (currently, it's essentially a screenshot capture and needs to be done sheet by sheet). It would also be beneficial to implement options for comparing versions of sheets and between models.

thanks

Need ability to change text/symbol colors, really dim and tough to read.

Need a way to easily toggle off all dimensions, symbols, etc. so that all you see is a model. When we start adding in certain data...we can't turn them off. Production will require this.

Right now, it's multiple toggles and in some cases, we can't turn text off at all. Needs to be fixed if we are ever going to get MBD working.

I'd like to add:

Commenting/markup tools like in Adobe Acrobat or similar.  Some way to tie the comments/text leaders etc to the model or drawing geometry.  

 

A tool to add weld callouts, GD&T, hole notes, dimensions and similar mechanical drafting symbols as part of the markup.

With new viewer...water marks are gone. Users no longer can tell the state of the item .

Another request coming from the users and watching them use the Thin Client on the production floor...Think Client Viewing.png

Thin Client Items tab....Need a way to clean up all of the properties so that is not over-whelming to the average user. Most is just noise and they never look at it. At least give the ability to reorganize so that it makes sense or can match what is in our ERP/MRP system. Administrator would organize / add / remove properties and push out to all users. Thin Client Item tab.png
