Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
@MDesign done! And now it:
- Automatically selects the top plane when first creating the feature.
- Remembers previously used values so if it is something you use often, you won't have to change the settings every time, one click and your ready to go.
- Creates a grid plane so you can click anywhere in the grid to start a new sketch.
- Has the option to create XYZ grids.

Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
Ok, I whipped up a quick custom feature called
Grid that you can add to your toolbar. This is as far as we 3rd party dev's can take it to help out.
This feature lets you choose the location, color, transparency, count, and spacing.

Has been added to the CADSharp FeatureScript Library!
This custom feature creates a grid for down stream sketching.

Re: Lofting face hole of camera
Hello Steve. I can't grasp what element you selected to create that surface or how you did it so I don't have 'loft' answer. However, just wanted to point out that a simple chamfer would work. - Scotty
Re: How to avoid one part, penetrating another part in assembly in onshape
You could create the two parts in separate Part Studios, bring them into the assembly, then edit the camera cover "in context." Create the Split while editing in context. Then, you could move the part around in the assembly and update the context.
Re: Squaring Variable expression or how to square a number in onshape
I would recommend trying out Onshape's own AI Advisor, which should not provide misleading information the way a "generic" google search does…

Side note, this should be way easier to find!
