OK
So I’m moving forward a little!
I created an XML file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PLMXML xmlns="http://www.plmxml.org/Schemas/PLMXMLSchema">
<Header>
<Author name="YourName" />
<Organization name="YourOrganization" />
<Date timestamp="2025-02-23T10:34:00" />
<Context id="CTX1" name="Example Context" />
</Header>
<Product id="P1" name="Example Product">
<Instance id="I1" product="P1">
<File id="F1" format="obj" type="Geometry" location="J:/ETA/ETA 6497/ETA6497.obj" />
</Instance>
</Product>
<Project id="PR1" name="Example Project">
<Member id="M1" instance="I1" />
</Project>
<Revision id="R1" instance="I1" version="1.0">
<Description>
This is an example of a product revision.
</Description>
</Revision>
</PLMXML>
and when I do the import into my Datasmith object I have this in the action log

As you can see, there is nothing in the preview
