How to stop/kill an import

Hi,

 

I tried importing a SolidWorks assembly and noticed in the progress tab that the total size of the upload is 450 MB, which is a bit of an issue. The SLDASM file is only 1.6 MB (because it's just links to other files), so it's difficult to tell the size of the import prior to actually doing it.

 

My question: How do I stop an import while it's in progress?

 

I stopped it (I think) by just logging off, but that's a bit cave man.

Hi William,

 

Currently, there is no cancel command for the import feature. However, this would make a great suggestion in the IdeaStation.  You may need to let the import run its course.

 

I took the liberty of capturing this feedback in an IdeaStation post. Feel free to add any other comments/feedback I may have left out in that post.

Please drop by and give the idea Kudos to increase the likelihood of the Idea being implemented.

 

For now, you can look at the properties of the directory containing all of the linked files to determine the total size of the data set.

 

I hope this clarifies everything. Let me know if you have further questions.

 

Thanks,

Thanks, Nathan.

I don't know if it is that straight forward to determine the size of all the linked files, but I'll have a look, RMB via Windows Explorer certainly gives no clue, only the size of the assembly file.
