## Viewing CAD Import History

The View | CAD Import History menu option displays the CAD Import History dialog box.

CAD Import History dialog box

This dialog shows information for all the CAD files that have been imported into the current part program. This information includes the following:

- The date and time of the import operation

- The type of import operation (Merge or Replace)

- Whether or not a Direct CAD Interface (DCI) was used to import the model

- The CAD file's name, date, and size in bytes

This information is stored in the part program file, not the CAD model file.

Note: This only tracks import operations taken within PC-DMIS. For example, if you manually replace a part program's CAD file, it will not be tracked by the CAD Import History dialog box.
