Is it possible to import a number of parts (say 20-30 step files) into an on-shape assembly (or part studio) all at the same time using a spreadsheet with the file name and coordinates/rotation for each part?

    I guess it's not possible?

    There's no way to do this through Onshape's UI. You would need to use the API (via a local python script for example) to read a CSV file, import/translate and insert/transform. For each line:
    1. Import all the files with the API
    2. Poll the API to wait for the translations to be complete (or fail).
    3. Use the API to insert the translation results into an assembly, with a specified transform.
