Re: Rectangle icon missing - view has a dark bacground instead of white
If the background is black that's a browser/ graphics card issue. A quick search on here should find you some fixes. The easiest being try a different browser.
Re: How to make a slotted hole
You can also select splines and arcs, not just a line.
Have you tried the learning center? This and many other sketching techniques are covered in sketch training for free.
Also if you hover the mouse over the tool selection you'll get a brief description. In this instance the description is "make a slot by selecting line, spline or arc". They can be used in combination as well.
Re: Every time I visit the onshape website I need to log in again. Is there a "remember me" option?
@davidg707 if you want to have passwords saved to compromise security then that's your choice, but corporations don't want to give their employees that freedom. It's not costing you anything so suck it up.

Re: 4K environment profile not selected by default in Chrome
I use Chrome a lot for Onshape. I have a 4k monitor. I've never had that issue. It sounds like a Windows/Chrome issue, not an Onshape issue. (I'm on a Mac)

New Custom Feature: Point Overcut
Creates Overcuts ("dogbones") at selected points, with additional options such as offsets and filleting the resulting sharp edges.
Mostly written for me 3D printing square or hex holes for shafts, which usually bind at the corners of the hole.
Let me know if you find bugs or want more options.

Some help from CNC Overcut but mostly from scratch.
Re: Mates - How to prevent the last link from moving relative to the previous one?
the poster wants to be able to move one joint at a time, and have all joints further out to remain "fixed" relative to the part that is moving. but all joints must be able to be explicitly rotated at any time.
Re: Help with simulate a force load
tangentially, I wrote a statics solver for rigid bodies. But nothing is moving (hence "statics").
