It would be great if the player could display a CAD file based on the order it’s processing opening from a network folder instead of static files. The file path could be something standardized with existing variables like _\networkpath[CustomerNumber][OrderNumber][ordernumber]-[rev].stl_ as an example.

Hey @danron,

This is a great idea. I could see how this could be valuable for all the different widgets that are currently static (documents, Images, CAD, etc). Would mean we would need to find ways to address cases where that file doesn’t exist, but that feels like a solvable problem.

I created a feature request for this specific ask and will keep this thread updated as that feature is addressed.

Keep the good ideas coming!
