How do I determine the folder location of the part I'm currently viewing?

How do I determine the location of the part studio that I am currently viewing or working on?

It has happened to me several times where I am working on a larger assembly which has linked parts from elsewhere. Some of them I might like to use in yet another assembly.

How do I determine where these parts are actually located? The best method I have now is to open them, then return to the main Onshape home screen and click on the part in my list of recent opens. Surely there is a more direct way? Is there a way to see where linked parts are coming from within a parent assembly without opening them?

What about seeing a list of assemblies which use a given part? (ie. A list of places where the current part is linked). It would be handy to know what the knock-on effects will be if I modify a given part.

I would like this as well.
Could you please create an improvement request?

Yes, I too find it difficult to find document locations

This is an issue I have also. I tried using labels to find things easier, but I can't figure out a way to select multiple labels to refine my search.

I do also.
I think that Google drive does a great job of this, and I think something similar could work well for Onshape Documents:



The little folder icon next to the File Name can be clicked for information, or to actually move a file from one location to another while you're in the file. This is a super nice feature!

Since there doesn't appear to be an answer to my question, I've created a feature request here:

voted it up, it's worse when working with other people's stuff.

You can switch to it, but you still don't know where you are.
