Model hierarchy and part numbers missing from import

Can anyone tell me why all individual part numbers and the hierarchy structure has gone from any imported step file? Instead I get a generic part number based not the main assembly name. It's important for me to be able to maintain this information for complex assemblies.

Sorry if this has cropped up in the past, I'm a new (and very excited) user.


Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob, MoI does not currently support "instancing" which would be required for the type of assembly structure retention that you're asking about.

That is something that I want to add in the future but currently things like STEP import is focused primarily on just getting the base geometry in.

Michael,

Thanks for the reply, at least I know I'm not doing something wrong ;-)

Keep up the great work.

Rob
