Re: How to open a browser window for working in Onshape?
While viewing the lesson… hold the ctrl key and press N. then type the link S1mon gave in the address bar area. There are no shortcuts because it is assumed by the training that how to work with browser windows is already known. You may need some training on how to use multiple windows/tabs with internet browsers.

You'll need to learn how to use "Text" though - but it is pretty simple (draw a path, write some text). You can read about it here:

Re: When importing .STEP files and converting to sheet metal I get two flat cutouts instead of one.
I think you need to use the "thicken" option (rather than "convert") in the sheet metal feature, and make sure you only select one "side" of the imported model.
