If you select a coordinate system in the existing part model before you click Model > Get Data > Import, you can insert the imported feature with reference to the selected coordinate system.
2. Set Type to the file type of a part model that contains point cloud data.
3. Browse and select the part model with the point cloud data.
4. Click Import. The File dialog box and the Import tab open.
