Re: How can I change the dimension of a new part that is extruded from an existing part
There are countless ways to accomplish what you want. Here's one method using 1 sketch, 2 extrudes, and 1 move face. There's no one right way. Based on how you've modeled your parts, I feel like you would get the most benefit from completing some beginner tutorials. Here's a link to the CAD basics learning pathway.

Re: Won't accept the correct answer to my Data Management Learning Curve last question LINKED DOCUMENTS
@ENNELLDEE
Its not the quiz preventing you from getting the certificate, it looks likes you only completed 89% of the Linked Document course- to mark is as complete you must finish 90%. Make sure you have green checkmarks and bubbles on all the pages in the course outline. You must stay on a page for 3 seconds to achieve this. You probably clicked through a couple pages a little too quick.

Nice job, Bryan 😀

Are you absolutely sure the answer you are giving is correct?
Re: Traceability for copied documents (Add Source Document's name and Author to Start point)
@lougallo
This would also be nice for public documents in general. For instance, when searching for a FeatureScript, there is often many many copies of the original document.
On a different note, I would like to be able to filter, within the search in public documents, to documents that have at lease one edit, i.e. not just a carbon copy of another document.

Re: Hello my name is Kevin, I am a noob on On Shape. How can I make the thing I just circle bigger?
You can't resize planes on the mobile app, but you can on the desktop browser client. I find it easier on mobile to select planes from the feature list.

Awesome! I just put an exploded view into PowerPoint for makeshift assembly line. Mate connector orientation is super helpful! Always a treat to see what you come out with each time...
Re: How to print my 2D sketch at 100 percent actual size with the measurement showing?
Exporting a sketch as a DXF/DWG does not pass dimensional constraints as dimensions; only the sketch geometry.
The proper method is to create a drawing and insert a 1:1 scale view of the sketch. You will need to (re)add dimensional annotation in the drawing then export the drawing as a PDF and print the PDF playing very close attention the print options that affect scaling to insure the drawing is printed 1:1 scale.

Re: How to print my 2D sketch at 100 percent actual size with the measurement showing?
Right-click on the sketch and export it as a DXF/DWG and this will give you 1 to 1 scale.

You could also add the sketch to a drawing (1:1 scale as well) and then print that. The drawing workflow may be the easiest to print from a desktop printer.
