Importing Solid Edge file format directly

Are there plans in the near future to import native Solid Edge files into Onshape:

part (*.par),  assembly (*.asm), part sheet metal (*.psm) ?

I know that Solid Edge and Onshape are using the same Parasolid kernel. And the quality mostly is acceptable. But it is always an additional step, so it would be much easier to import the native files directly.

    @Hakro - Importing via Parasolid is the fewest number of steps.
    We read native SolidWorks through Pack-and-go and it's more clicks than simply exporting Parasolid.

    Also please make (or add to) an improvement request for this, so that we can prioritize it better

    Native file import is a lot fewer clicks if you're working on machine that doesn't have cad installed and just access cad files through network. Or have moved to Onshape a while back and have new computer then consider if you need to install previous cad at all..

    I would appreciate Alibre/Geomagic native import for parts & assemblies, I think I have put in a ticket long time ago..
