BSPT threaded holes
I work at an aerospace company and we have made the switch to Onshape. We are loving the version control and many of the features. One feature we really need is BSPT taps. Seeing if this can be added as a feature soon

Re: Creating A folder within a document from the API
Not likely relevant now, but I do want to point out that it is bad practice to loop through documents to look for new ones, you'll hit API limits and waste resources.
If you want a work flow to detect new documents - use a webhook:

Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
Our software uses the desktop CAD industry standard license check method of "vibes". Upon startup, the Onshape Desktop Client will decide if its "feeling it" or not. While we are seeing a 10% failure rate, this does appear to be an improvement over competitors in the space.
Re: ThreadLab - Internal/External Modeled/Cosmetic Threads with External Thread Callouts
Hi, I'm a real noob with onshape but learning something different each time. I am very fond of ThreadLab as it is a no fuss way of creating threads for 3D printing, but one thing I would like to get clarification on. On designing a nut I can only put the chamfer on one side of the nut and would like to have a chamfer on both sides. Is it possible to achieve this in ThreadLab? Thanks for any help and appreciate your work on this.

Re: Bring on the SubD!!!
It would be great to do organic modeling in Onshape with sub-d modeling. Is there any update on Onhshape incorporating sub-d modeling? Phi3D does not have sub-d modeling so I'm having to incorporate Fusion360 or Blender into my workflow. @NeilCooke @joe_dunne
Re: OP revolve constantly failing in onshape feature script
in the example below I added a line segment to the sketch.
edited the ellipse radii to be bodyHeight / 2
(because it's a radius, your body was twice the intended height).
and added a qNthElement to the query for the face to revolve and it works fine.
also check out the // commented lines to check what tests I did along the way to check my work while building the featurescript. I've gotten into the habbit of checking such steps in between to understand what the code is generating before I move on.
Re: Measurement and Dimensioning Different
Thank you very much! This fixed my problem :)
What was the distance I dimensioned before? The midpoints of the arc are the max distance apart at two opposing arcs or not?
