Re: -made a part with variables; how do I paste the variable table to a variables studio?
Hello Christopher. Check this post out. - Scotty
Re: Placing Derived Parts in an Assembly
You can insert your master sketch into the assembly and mate the parts to it.
Or add explicit mate connectors to the parts (based on a common reference on the master sketch)
Re: help finishing a CAD/Onshape Best Practices document for a FIRST FRC team
Why is derive more expensive than in context? That doesn’t make much sense. Is there any way to make them more equivalent?

Re: Sheet metal cone
If you want a smooth flattened part you can model it as a surface and thicken the flattened surface later. The new surface flatten feature can flatten almost anything. From circle to rectangle, containing a fillet with torsion distortions, no problem, I think this new feature is even better than in Solidworks. The only drawback is that after exporting to a parasolid file, the bendlines of the flat surface have disapeared.
Re: Order of split body parts
So, I'm now taking the output from evaluateQuery and sorting it based on evBox3d minCorner of each body - seems to work.
Re: Fix geometry for revolute mate
Yeah, this face wasn't flat, so it wasn't possible to grab a good mate connector for the revolute.
One quick fix was to delete that face, create a plane, and then use Enclose to re-create the part.

Re: Possible Onshape Downloader Malware
Thanks for the notification @IsaacSubudhi. Our security team will look into this.
This is definitely not a legitimate Onshape site.
Re: How do I transfer a part studio from one document to another?
Currently in Onshape document to document referencing is not available. User can use and copy part studio of
different document. User have to use "copy to clipboard" option to copy the part studio and "paste tab" option to paste in different document as shown in below video.
