Nice updates 😀
AI advisor is working great, just tested it and the answers are up to date:
Re: NEED HELP
Maybe a dumb question, but why make it hollow if you are going to be 3D printing?
Make the thing solid and just sweep the holes. The slicer will do the rest…
Printable Onshape Keyboard/Mouse Shortcuts Quick Reference Card
Several years ago I made a Quick Reference card based on the on-screen shortcuts help ("?"). I have been religiously been maintaining this document over the years and would like to share it with the greater user community as a thank you for all the great support that exists in the User Forum.
It is organized differently than the built-in on screen shortcut help to improve its usability. It has been augmented to include useful information about specific shortcuts and contains more detail about 3-button mouse functionality.
The reference card is 2-sided and is designed to print on a 8.5x11 card stock. Following are preview images of the front and back.
--- Front ---
--- Back ---
A printable PDF of the document can be found here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AuMUtTIiNawOgqVOsNY6CvJoA4mUjA?e=SYCbW1
Improvement suggestions welcome.
My intent to maintain this reference card as Onshape is updated. Note: If you post a comment to this post you will automatically be informed when I create a new version of the reference card.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - April 4th, 2025
We've been struggling trying to steal an entire assembly from one job into another.
I was creating versions then moving the assembly with references. But sometimes there are mistakes and things get moved that shouldn't. This ended up creating circular references between a bunch of us here. Where we would have to do some version magic to revert the original references back without destroying the weeks' worth of work that happened in between realization.
I tried out the AI Advisor and it pointed something out that I never realized existed.
I didn't know you could copy past an assembly between documents this easy!
Nicely done AI Advisor
