How to insert (link) a single object from one file to another?

[Jarek]

Hi Thomas, Pascal,

Sorry, I don’t have a solution (although maybe not all hope is lost - in the past @clement came up with a way to import only selected NamedViews from external file - so maybe there is a hope for objects? - linking may be difficult though).

Import only selected named views please

Ideally when importing the named views we would get a dialog with a list of named views to pick from - in most cases, at least here - I need only one/some of them, especially that the same named views get replaced. So we still need to open the file to import from, delete the views we are not interested in, and, for speed, pick one object and ‘export selected’ as 3dm to a temp file just to import the needed views. Pretty tedious. thanks- –jarek

But it actually would be a great feature to be able to link a block from a specific file that contains many block instances. This way we could organize specific block collections into files and then pick specific ones by name to link/import.

We would find this super useful, so if this is a potential future development on the heap, +1 from me.
