Identify Imported File Type

famadorian

When I look a thts part studio, I see it's an import, but where does it say the original filename and type?

This document has lots of STEP, STL, etc files, but which is it that I'm looking at?;)

If you mouseover import1 it will tell you on the tooltip

The tooltip only displays "Import 1 did not regenerate properly"

This mouse over does not work when the import has errors.  Otherwise imports without errors shows source like @john_mcclary says.

Onshape has a ways to go on imports.  There are IR for repair tools. Does anybody know of IR for identifying of source and translation (both ways will be helpful).

They only other way i can think of woulb be to try and delete the import file you think it is. It should throw a warning and tell you what part studio would be broken. But if you have a lot of imports then that would suck

You can open FS panel 

If you are seeing something like this

put the sting following e till :: (2f9e641bd9f8362c7977f2e9 in this case) in the url instead of string following "/e/" , that is an element id of the element storing imported file.
Sorry it is multi step.

You might see something like this 

That is an old import format - no useful information there.

OK. Thanks! Those methods get the answer both ways; John's for 'where is this file translated' and Lana's shows 'what file created this tab'.  

It took me a while to figure Lana's code method so here are some steps to go with her images.
1) In the parts studio, right  click the studio tab and choose 'Show Code'
2) In FS code panel, find the 'importForeign' line and copy text between 'e' and '::' (not including either of those characters)
3) In the browser URL address bar - replace the code after ''/e/" with the code copied in step 2
4) That URL will open the Import tab of file used.
5) The last image shows an old version of code that does not work for this.

For now I think it best to build a document one tab at a time and note the files/names in  properties or rename the import feature.  That may be a lot of work if many files.  Or just do the imports with errors since the tool tip works on those without errors.
