Diametric Engagement selection missing after update
Based on the hole dimensions given it seems to be frozen at %75. I really liked this feature as I design parts for both aluminum and stainless steel and it was handy to just have onshape define the drill size for me instead of having to look it up in a table and enter it manually. Has the feature moved somewhere else or is it gone?

Re: How can you smoothly connect two circles on different planes with a tube?

Bend part
I have a very simple rectangular part, a few cm in length and a few mm thick. I wish to bend the whole part to a radius of c. 200mm.
ie, the part is pressed out of sheet steel, then bent to form a very slight curve.
How do i do this in OnShape?
NB. I do not want to built it on a curved extrusion path, or use plane intersects to 'cut' it from a larger pieces. I want to BEND this piece.
Re: Animation
You can teach a person to paint, but that doesn't automatically make them an artist. You have done well and created art.
Take your praise, you've earned it
(Meanwhile, I silently wait in the background for Onshape to release advanced animation tools...)
Re: Merge a revolve with a curved face
Re: Animation
I fully agree with @john_lopez363 !
Last year I made a model of a typical Dutch Windmill, used for demonstrating it's (18 century) construction and inner workings. This model contains some (im)possible animations.
I made a compilation of these animations in the video below. The final scene shows the handy contraption that makes the impossible possible. I suggest we call this the 'McClary Engine' in honor of its inventor, John McClary. Thanks @john_mcclary !
And as answer to the OP:
No, in Onshape a standard animation can only show one chain of interrelated mates at a time.
However…
Yes, with a little extra effort (and the McClary Engine) it is possible to play multiple animations simultaneously and even asynchronously.
Happy animating!
