How to copy/paste a part from a separate file or tab into a multi-part studio
Newbie question here. I've designed a couple of parts in a part studio, and I want to copy / paste in a part from another open source file (a ball and socket). Ultimately I want to add the ball end of that ball and socket file to one of my parts and the socket end to another of my parts.
New version of the file I'm working with.
Ball and socket file I'm trying to paste in > see ball_and_socket_v5_-_main_body.STL.
I looked in this multi-part studios tutorial and this forum post: Copy/paste in new tab of existing part studio, but they didn't resolve my issue.
When I click "paste tab" after either copying the tab or copying the part I want to copy, the part I've copied doesn't show up in the part studio. Nothing seems to happen. Screen recording of my failed attempts.
