Large Assembly Import - SW Pack and Go - Long Translation Time

Hi,
I have been importing our assemblies over from Solidworks through pack & go. It has worked well so far for smaller assemblies (20-200 distinct parts) which took 1 to 2 hours to translate after the .zip upload.
I tried importing some larger assemblies (10000 parts if i count PCB components) and it has been taking much longer (26 hours now on the largest one) and they still arent translated from the .zip upload.
Is there a size limit for imports or something? Is there a way i can track translation progress for imported assemblies?
Thanks.

There is no status bar as of yet.
You might want want to try using Parasolid x_t. You will get the same thing in the end, and it's actually easier to deal with in a lot of ways because you are not dealing with all the files all zipped up. Unless you need to store the original SW files in the Onshape doc as well.
It's a good thing to try. Just to see if it's faster.Joe Dunne / Onshape, Inc.5

Thanks for the advice, the x_t seems to work fine.
Thanks.
