Yes, we're working on supporting this for custom features, but it's going to be a bit of time before it's available.
Re: Need advice on how to make my Airflow Bottle waterproof
I'm realizing all of the advice here assumes we have to use the FDM machine. You could hire someone to print it on a resin machine like a Formlabs, and it would be easy to get a print that doesn't leak.
Save Sheet Metal Parameter Profiles
When I am designing sheet metal, I spend too much time looking up bend radii and k factors when I change materials, thickness, or shops. It would be very helpful to be able to save named configurations of sheet metal parameters. That way, I could select the correct parameters just by recognizing the name of a profile, such as, "5052 Aluminum, .063, Send Cut Send."
Updated Custom Feature: Bounding Cylinder (now published)
I finally fixed some tricky bugs in this and it seemed ready to release. I usually use it to simplify motor packaging in robots.
New Custom Feature: Integer Belt (published)
Calculates the actual c-c distance and integer-tooth belt/chain size needed for two given pulleys.
Produces a sketch, and a named 2D curve.
Re: DXF / DWG EXPORT UNITS
I have had to re-export four complete jobs since this change. It has cost me many hours of work.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - August 7th, 2025
Thanks for the Units update. Now can you make it so that if i need to change a document from Imperial to Metric units, there is a "one click" option to do so? Changing from ANSI to ISO or just Imperial to Metric so that all types are changed together is helpful rather than having to change each one individually.
