I sure hope Sheetmetal Loft is for the Chrismas release at the latest 😉
Re: I need help with creating an airfoil with .dmx file whenever I import it it throws an error.
IT WORKED!!! I was able to add in the spline using the CSVxyz featurescript after I found one with xyz coordinates. Thank you so much!
Re: Mirror Problem
Hello Patrick. I think your current impression of the limitations of Onshape in the free version may be wrong. I too am a hobbyist, mostly woodworking. I have been an Onshape user for 7 years. Unless ultra-simple, all of my projects use Onshape to create my project or jigs and other aids to enable a feature or operation of that project that otherwise may not be practical, possible, or may eliminate being risky.
Seems you have initially come upon a frustrating stumbling block that leaves you with thinking Onshape is not a usable resource. After your searches for a resolution have come up empty, you have come to the right place. I have very little doubt that it is fixable. It may not be the Mirror feature, but something created beforehand or something missing that Mirror needs to be successful.
Besides Onshape being loaded with the tools needed to create, a valuable tool is this forum. Please post a link to your document so we can help you out. - Scotty
Not trying to show off. Just want to show how Onshape has enabled me:
Re: Assembly Planes - Where are they?
You should be able to pick any cylindrical or conical face for a section view, it creates the section along the axis of the face "snapping" to the nearest XYZ planes.

Great!!!
Now, please make dimension input fields in sketches also resizable! 😏
