Joint Origin creation interface: super-easy change reduces burden to user

Joint Origin creation interface: super-easy change reduces burden to user

The Joint Origin dialog box provides the capacity to select the Type of Origin- "Simple" or "Between two faces"; making the second selection presently requires clicking on the Type pull-down menu, drawing down until "Between" is selected, then clicking.   Not such a big deal if performing this operation only once- but when confronted by a large number of components, the process is onerous.

This selection may be accomplished with greater ease by replacing the pull-down menu with simple two-state radial buttons- one click between the two choices, no drawing, aiming, or additional clicks required.   Those required to frequently use the interface will appreciate the change.

I think the reason this idea didn't get votes is because the pull-down menu is consistently used in other parts of Fusion 360 for selecting types.

 

While a drop-down for a 2-item list does seem overkill, it probably was used to make the UI future-proof: should new joint origin types need to be added, they can easily be added to the list without any modification to the UI.
