Fix Importing Large Files

AuroraRonAuroraRon Member Posts: 124 PRO
I am experiencing constant import issues with Onshape when working with large files. Despite using Onshape for seven years, I have yet to notice any improvement in this area. I love using Onshape, but working with files that are not created in Onshape becomes very difficult or impossible. I would settle for just a shell, but parts with errors keep wrecking the complete assembly.

    What format are you importing and which CAD system did it come from?

    Inventor is one of them.  Supplier just tried again to export as a Parasolid and it just fails to translate.  I just created another support ticket.
    We also have no luck with step for engines, always errors that cause it to be unusable.  I have many examples from different engine companies you can try.
