Hi everyone,
I would like to request a dedicated insert tool where the user will be able to Move and Join as part of the insert command. I would like this tool to pup-up when copy-pasting a component, dragging in a component from the browser (and data-panel) or inserting a component from a tool library (for example mcMaster-Carr or parts4CAD). I tend to come back on the example of placing many fasteners...
Currently the tool Move/Copy is activated to place a new component, then I will need to join the component afterwards. This all takes quit some unnecessary time for large (and small) assemblies.
I started working on this idea and it all turned out to be a mix of several idea's put together. I feel like the general idea is to mix Copy, Move and Join and then there are a few sub-idea's to merge this with. I've described the sub-idea's in the comment section though some of them might be clear from the mock-up below.

Please let me know what you think and feel free to add any comments!
