Re: I need this like yesterday. Surface creation by 3d snap
Yes, Fill has had the ability to add guides (points or curves) all along. However it is completely different code/algorithm than the other one mentioned earlier in this thread.
Re: Part name won't change (to include expression variables) tried multiple Featurescripts
This is probably one of my biggest frustrations with FeatureScript. Any property (name, appearance, etc) that has been set by the user cannot be overridden by a featurescript. I'd really like to just set an option in "setProperty" for like "override" or something that can force it. I end up in some workflows where you just can't do anything about it.
The only way to fix it is to go into the part → properties → reset all.
The other way is to pattern the input body and delete the original - thus creating a new part. Which 9 out of 10 times is not really an acceptable workflow.
Re: Time Log for Documents
Hey, I added a feature to the FTC Insert Tool Onshape app accomplish this. The video details how to quickly see the hours on any Onshape document. Please note that these are estimates based on how many and how often changes are made on the document and do not necessarily include time spent reviewing the model without making changes. If you were to charge money based on, I would recommend explaining how this is estimated to your client. Also note that you may have to edit the spreadsheet to account for more than 100 days.
Can we please get standard ctrl/shift+click to select/deselect for marquee selection
As it stands, there is currently no way to easily add or remove items from a selection made using a marquee. It is near impossible to visually select just the items you want.
If I'm missing something, but if not, this would be a hugely timesaving feature.
Re: Can we please get standard ctrl/shift+click to select/deselect for marquee selection
You can add or remove them by just clicking on them. Just as you'd do with CTRL-Click, but without CTRL.
Re: How to put holes in this cap
Danke das hat geholfen. Mein Problem war, dass der Obere Teil eine Oberfläche und nicht ein Volumenkörper war. Deswegen konnte ich ihn auch erst nicht als Zusammenführungsbereich angeben.

Re: Center of Gravity
Currently I'm just guessing.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 10th, 2025
Whose idea was it, to name the extrusion feature like that, when newly created?
I'd still prefer a first step of mandatory manual naming any newly created feature, because it's an important piece of documentation. But this automatic name now is in my opinion - excuse my french - crap.
And renaming should be also enabled by a double click into the name field, as mostly any software supports that intuitively.
Re: This type of error makes my experience of onshape incredibly frustrating
Use the "Offset" measurement type
