Open linked .idw in right-click menu

Open linked .idw in right-click menu

When looking in the "Uses" tree you can see .ipt from the main assembly.
Though there is no way of opening the .idw directly without searching for the existing part.

Can you add an option to open the .idw if it exists on the right click menu?

@m.verbroekken Hi Thanks for posting the idea. We always recommend to open the files inside the CAD application. So in Inventor we have that "Open Drawing from Vault" command. Does that work for you? if not, why? Thanks.OpenDrawing.jpg

@Senthil_KumarThank you for you reply.

I am aware that Inventor offers that option, sadly it doesn't cover my current issue.
The reason I'm suggesting this functionality is because i repetitively need to update the title block of multiple .idw's.

 

Opening the part and then the drawing is at first time consuming and it also eats up a ton of resources on the machine.

 

Thanks anyway for your suggestion.

Hi @limin.chung 

Thank you! that certainly is good news to hear!

Sadly the link you provides sends me to the Autodesk Feedback community and displays the following message at the top:
"The page you are attempting to access is unavailable."


Edit: Never mind, figured it out and applied! Thank you.
