Re: Making unique copies of a part
Re: Unable to create a basic working script
Close but no cigar. LLMs are not good at this. I suggest you check out the FS course on the Learning Center.
Re: Badges-Maxxing on the onshape forums
Seems like a few of the badges don't work anymore:

How does one even get an LOL?

Re: Why am I unable to cut a feature into my lofted body?
Usually errors like this happen when vertices or edges try to share the same point making a 0 thickness part.
Try making your sketch a little larger than the part and see if that works.
For specific solutions, please share a link to your document.
Re: Looking for Beta Testers – Try Out OnDisplay!
Im interested in finding out more!…i have some models i would like to be able to share
Re: Looking for Beta Testers – Try Out OnDisplay!
I just sent an email to request testing out your program. I hope it will improve the way we pitch our program and services. Thanks for the opportunity.
Re: Best way to make this organic type shape.
In industry, designers usually make organic shapes with curves and surfaces. It's a completely different way to design. Its not easy….
Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
Once you learn how to use on the fly constraints and hot keys, it's hard to return to the grid system. I tried to think of some use cases where I would use this feature I made, and I can't think of any. Floor layouts perhaps? I use grid's in Unity for snapping pre-built objects to a scene, like walls; but Unity doesn't have a built in constraint system like Onshape. After first learning the grid system then moving to Onshape's constraint system, I'm way more efficient with the constraint approach. But for those who don't want (or don't have time) to learn on the fly constraints, the
Grid feature may prove to be a useful tool.
If there are any improvements users would like to see for the grid feature to make their life easier, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. 😎

Re-posting for page 3 viewers in need of grid functionality:
This feature will remember your previous settings. So if it is something you use often, it will be a 1 click set up at the start of your studio.
To add it to your toolbar, just open the link below, and select the (+) button near the top of the screen.

Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
@MichaelPascoe
That looks good. Probably as good as it gets in this scenario. Won't probably use it all the time, but when it comes to those 'building block' designs it might be helpful. Last time, I was helping myself by defining a "#GridDistance" variable at the beginning and then dimensioning all the base points of stuff in the grid in multiples of that (or offset the base mate connectors in the same manner). Thanks for making this. :0)
