I was wanting to import a dwg with the Import Content component, with a file hosted on an open URL. The issue is, the file path is not recognized and i get a message stating the file doesn’t exist.
Beware that this does indeed create (and overwrite) a file every time you run it, you might end up with a big temporary folder.
If two filenames are equal, there will be a collision. (you might an hash of the url as the local filename).
Also, yes, it’s a temporary folder, so you should not rely on it as much as a real local copy/backup of your file.
