Imported STEP file parts piled up in origin.

Hey guys, after importing a fairly big step file i can see all the assembly tabs looking good, but, when i go to the parts tab its all piled up in origin. How can i fix this?

    In a file-based CAD system all the parts are created around their own origin in their own part file, then the assembly transforms them to the correct location. Onshape simply follows that rule,. You can import all parts into a Part Studio, but you won't get the assembly hierarchy. It's ugly, but does it matter?
