Prusaslicer 2.7.1 can't add part

I'm using a MK4 with the MK4 profile.

I'm trying to add multiple stl's but retain their position as per the stl file made with fusion 360.

first of all if i select multiple stl's in windows file explorer and drag them into prusaslicer it adds them but every stl is centred and not in the positions they should be. Before prusaslicer 2.7.1 it would ask if you want to add the stl's as one object with parts but it doesn't ask now unless i select a printer with multi colour support. 

But my main issue is that if i start a new prusaslicer document and import an stl, then right click on the object in the list on the right and go add part and load another stl, i see the loading bar complete but then nothing no part is added. 

but if i import an stl, go add part and then click one of the default options like box or cylinder it works, but if right click that added default part and click replace with stl and then choose my custom part it changes to it but in the same location as the default part was which doesn't help me. 

is anyone else having this issue? Is it a bug? Or am i doing something wrong or missing something? 

in the meantime i can just change to a printer profile with multi colour add the parts and then change the profile back to MK4, but that seems silly to me and shouldn't be needing work arounds.

RE: Prusaslicer 2.7.1 can't add part

Nope not having that issue.  I can add a part and then add another part to the original.  It will load in fine.  Of course thats with the stl files I have.   All parts added will get placed in the centre automatically though, that's normal.    If you want to keep the relative spacing then they need to be saved as a single multipart stl.  

Why don't you zip up the stls you are having trouble with and attach them here.  Along with the order that you are trying to add them.  That would rule out the stl files.

I think I've attached the files in a zip folder named chess, let me know if you can't download it. chess

so if i open a brand new prusaslicer document with MK4IS profile, add the Pawn Big.stl right click on the pawn object or in the list to the right, click add part, click load, choose chess thread v5.stl
i see a progress bar for a second and then nothing, just the pawn object and nothing else. 

I'm starting to think it must be my install, might try reinstalling.

RE: Prusaslicer 2.7.1 can't add part

the chess folder contains 2 files, 
an enormous Pawn, And 
A threaded Plug (Which Appears to be upside down)

I opened a Prusa Mk4 IS 0.4mm nozzle instance of slicer 
chose the 'Add' option from the top menu, selected both items and slicer added them with the plug, under the pawn

I deleted the plug, moved the pawn to the edge of the build plate and right clicked on the pawn, chose 'Add part' and the plug was added in the centre of the base of the pawn, which remained offset on the build plate. 

I deleted both items, then chose 'Add' and added the pawn. then I used the Rotate tool to tilt the pawn, then right clicked on the pawn, chose 'Add Part' and added the plug. and the plug was added in the centre of the base, which remained at an angle on the build plate. 

I deleted both parts then added the pawn, right clicked on the pawn, chose add negative volume, add part and the plug was added as a negative volume
chess thread v5

Try the project file above

so i can open the project file you sent perfectly fine with both objects listed and visible. 

i can do the first thing you said, which was 

I opened a Prusa Mk4 IS 0.4mm nozzle instance of slicer 
chose the 'Add' option from the top menu, selected both items and slicer added them with the plug, under the pawn

but the other steps you mentioned don't work, 

I deleted the plug, moved the pawn to the edge of the build plate and right clicked on the pawn, chose 'Add part' and the plug was added in the centre of the base of the pawn, which remained offset on the build plate. 

I deleted both items, then chose 'Add' and added the pawn. then I used the Rotate tool to tilt the pawn, then right clicked on the pawn, chose 'Add Part' and added the plug. and the plug was added in the centre of the base, which remained at an angle on the build plate. 

I deleted both parts then added the pawn, right clicked on the pawn, chose add negative volume, add part and the plug was added as a negative volume

i just get a quick loading bar and then nothing happens. 

sounds like an issue with my install, im going to try a reinstall when i get time.

RE: Prusaslicer 2.7.1 can't add part

if you delete the pawn, move the plug to the edge of the bed, right click, add part,, choose pawn, does the pawn, re appear?

in the right window, do you see the names of both parts?

If you do, and you click on the name 'Chess thread V5.stl',  does slicer hilight the plug, like this?

If the answer is yes, then prusa slicer is working.

I found the problem!!! 

it's really weird, so when i right click > add part > load > file selection window appears,  if i double click the file i want to add  in the selection window i have the issue but if i instead click once the file i want to add and then click open at the bottom right of the selection window it works as expected. 

what a weird issue, anyway thanks all for your help.
