Is there a way to see what Parts studios have been inserted into an assembly.
All I see is a list of the many parts that are in all the parts studio. I have 25 parts Studios and each has many similar parts.
The Part Studios are named Ring 1, Ring 2 Thru Ring 25

Remember, you do not insert part studios into assemblies.
What is really happening when you select a part studio is you are "dumping" all of the parts that have been created in that studio.
If you are not naming your parts than you will not have a way to identify them in a "list" or what ever.
But there are ways to discover their locations
A ) Right click a part in the assembly tree and you will see "switch to ...." that will give you the name of the part studio the part belongs to
B ) Create sub assemblies, one for each ring, then insert the sub assemblies into your main assembly
C ) Bulk rename parts:
- Go to your part studio
- Select all the parts in your part list
- Find the property "Name"
- Change it to reflect your part studio's name, here I just call it Ring 25
- Go back to your assembly and you will see them all named
