Copy Design, Replace

[brownst]

When opening the Select File Dialog during Replace, include a full functioned search.  Currently only filename is supported.

Add find option to this window. It would make easier to find the file you want to replace with.

Marina Collet made a nice picture of how the search could be integrated in the "replace" UI.

I already requested this "search" functionality a year ago. see https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vault-ideas/copy-design-windw-to-have-list-of-quot-my-shortcuts-quot/...

Trying to replace 10 parts of an assembly that is using parts scattered all over the massive directory structure of our Vault, is almost not possible.

You need to know the map structure to find all the parts you want to replace with... ? Or search them in the regular vault.

Or your file name needs to point you to the right map... Unfortunataly this is not the case.

Why would someone need to know the directory where a part is residing?

Looking out for an update for the copy design "search" functionality!!!

The selection file process for the Replace tool during a Copy Design operation can be improved.

It has 2 major problems:

1) it doesn't have a Search Tool, and you have to browse the whole tree folder in order to find the file you are looking for

1) it forgets the last used directory, and you always have to restart from the beginning. If you have to Replace more files in the same Copy Design operation, this is very annoying

This is incredibly important for my company where we have folders with tens and in the future hundreds of thousands of files. The wait for the list to be populated is too long and it would help us immensely if copy design's replace window is replaced with something similar to the place from vault window in Inventor where you can search for the file you need. Please implement this simple feature as soon as possible.

This would be fantastic...

Halfway through a long Copy Design and I the file I want to replace isn't where it should be. It's in the Vault somewhere, but not where I thought it was. How do I find it? It is not possible in-dialog while replacing a file.

Opening another instance of Vault does work, but so does putting my pants on backwards. I don't like doing either. 

I know the list of to-dos is a mile long, but I'm hoping you keep working on this one too!

Missing Search function during Replace command in Copy Design.  Almost seems like an oversight since the search pane exists in Inventor add-in

This idea has been implemented in Vault 2022.1 Update. 

Select File dialogs in several workflows like Replace Workflow now have Folder View, My Short Cuts, My Saved Search and search capabilities included. Details see here:
