Re: Willing but a bit clueless
What you should be looking to learn in the learning center that Ste_Wilson posted is…
- creating a part studio
- creating a sketch —- skip steps 3-4 if taking dimensions directly from part
- importing an image and getting is scaled to the right size (it will never be perfect due to camera paralax distortion)
- creating a second sketch
- drawing and constraining the sketch entities needed for an extrusion
- extruding the sketch region
- adding additional features via extrudes, revolves, fillets etc. — whatever you need to get to the finish line.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 19th, 2025
This is what I'm talking about. Outside dimensions of pipe diameters have always been the controlled dimension since the Briggs system standardized things in the early industrial revolution, and pipes of different schedules in the same nominal dimension all have the same OD with the wall thickness resulting in a different ID. The nominal designation was derived from an era where every shop had their own forging dies and practices with varying dimensions from shop to shop and batch to batch even from the same shop. Even back then the outer dimension was the controlled feature for the production process. The NPS sizes just happen to be the die dimensions that one shop was using as an internal standard and published as a compatibility thing for other shops to use during the Civil War.
This being the case, when someone grabs a tape measure and checks the inside of some unknown stock that might be pipe or might be tube I die a little inside.
Re: FS Node Studio beta.
@S1mon thanks, I know you interested in being able to save the diagram state, but I'm not there yet. It will just remember the satellite feature studio for now.

Re: FS Node Studio beta.
Recently added support for interactive committing of code changes to the satellite feature studio, which is created and binded once app element is initialized. Now the generated code updates as user editing the diagram.

Re: My audio on learning modules is suddenly gone.. what do I do
This is probably an issue with your browser or your audio output. Also make sure the video isn't muted or the volume turned all the way down. If other audio (YouTube, etc.) works, try a different browser. Also, it might help to provide a link to the specific learning module you are working on.
