hey,
i am making a box In parts studio - and I need to make a cutout in one of the sides for a connector - I have a step file of the connector, but I can't find any way to import this file directly into part studio (so I can subtract it)
Best regards,
Henrik

Step-1: Import step file of the connector in Onshape document.
Step-2: Use derive feature for inserting connector part into box part studio.
Step-3: Use transform operation using mate connector for placing connector part at required position of box.
Step-4: Perform Boolean subtract operation to get desired result.
