Import part (SLDPRT) and boolean it with an OS part?

I'm making my new part in OS, but what I need to do at present is to import a legacy part, and use the existing part in a boolean subtract on the new part.
(I've searched several importing threads, and watched the imported data webinar.)
I've successfully imported the SLDPRT -- but when I do so, I've got the SLDPRT in one studio, and the target part in another.
How can I get the imported part and the target part together so I can boolean (and then work further on the OS-originated part)?

@laird_broadfield Currently you would have to place them both in an assembly and export out an XT and back into one Part Studio. We have an improvement logged to allow you to import a part from one PS to another. I will add you to that request.Lou Gallo / PD/UX - Support - Community / Onshape, Inc.9
