Re: Strange Sweep Behavior – Not Following Spline Path
The sketch curve used by handle sweep should go past the the outer surface of cup or it will leave gaps. Mate connecter on the end of handle sketch will line up the sketch.

Re: Strange Sweep Behavior – Not Following Spline Path
You will have better luck if your profile sketch is perpendicular to the path. I'd stick a plane using curve point on your sweep path and put your sketch on that plane

Re: Control hide and show body when comparing revisions
I completely agree!! In my case it makes the compare tool completely useless because I can't hide certain part! Please make a fix!!!

Re: Remove tap drill size from hole callout on drawing
The overall plans are to make these things optional with hole callouts and likely at the company level - since these sorts of things are usually corporate norms. Hole callouts show up in other places besides just drawings - for example in the hole table in the part studio. Resulting tap drill sizes can be inspected in some cases - for example when a tap drill is used through the entire part but the thread is some depth that is not through the entire part. In a good amount of threads, the tap drill diameter is actually the minor diameter of an internal thread - and it can indeed still be inspected (gauge pins are one easier method of approaching that). Of course there are differences with materials and thread forming types (cutting versus thread forming), so the devil is in the details as usual.
Typically the minor diameter of an internal thread is not all that consequential to an adequately strong and well functioning thread since most of the strength of the thread is from the root area of the cantilevered beam when we look at it that way. All that being said there is not one single standard/preference for what to show and not show on callouts and Onshape needs more flexibility for companies/users to decide what their callouts should be showing.
Re: BOM ability to add part configuration property column?
My question would be, how did you rename the property?
I would like to add my own Properties to my BOM, something like "Price" or "Comment". I dont like "Title1" "Title2" and so on...
How can i change the titles of the properties? (i mean your columns are named X, Y and Z) How did you do that?
Re: Fillet complex shape
Your first sketch was pretty poorly defined. Tighten it up with some tangent constraints and it fillets just fine.
Re: How to Set Sketch Origin to Plane Origin in Onshape?
Use a Mate connector for the Sketch plane then you can control the origin and orientation without FS.
Re: Imported DXF Not Fully Defined
Just had the same issue a few days ago. Imported DXF do NEVER come defined. Depending on what it is (mine was a simple word logo) it can be super complex, with types of curves which you'll never be able to fully constrain after the fact.
I've read about an interesting approach in someone elses post two or three days ago, though. It is probably a dirty workaround, but I tried anyway and it did the job: I imported the DXF into some separate document, made sure the sketch was closed but didn't care if it was fully defined and put that in my project folder with no intention of ever editing it. Then, I derived that into my actual design, scaled and wrapped it onto my target face. The fun part here is that a derive will always be fully constrained, because it is derived. ;0)
I have yet to try if I can just swap it, in case the grapic designer comes up with a new version of the logo, but it appears at least possible.
