Re: Split Tabs Inside Onshape
A second monitor is really handy. Run another OS on second screen and display any tab you like.
Highly recommended when going through the learning center lessons.
Re: Automatic Assembly Sequence Generation
Thanks Michael! Love the feedback. We took a look at your model and it's quite interesting. The current version of the product doesn't handle threaded parts which explains why the parts couldn't be disassembled. However, we have an update coming very soon where AutoAssembler will give you a plan like this
We also noticed that the model has several interferences (mostly within the purchased trucks)
We're looking into the issue where the wheel faces weren't shown. AutoAssembler today can understand (modeled) CAD interferences and work around them. We'd love to talk to you and give you a deeper look into AutoAssembler! Let me know and I'll DM you :) .

Re: Improvements to Onshape - June 6th, 2025
I also didn't understand from the video that this still required a cylindrical mate to constrain the rotation of my two parts. My initial impression was that this would a more like a revolute where the centers and axis would line up as you describe @S1mon.
Re: How to move a sketch with its part?
Hello,
thank you very much for your very detailed comments and tips!
I have already milled the 5 parts (Mac mini, intermediate part, compartment for the backup hard disk, intermediate part, monitor stand) from one piece, without any problems, but only as a test from an OSB board; I will mill it in spruce wood and make some changes beforehand (e.g. the compartment for the mini is too wide and not high enough; I was limited by the thickness of the OSB board which is 23 mm I will use a spruce board of 37mm).
The connections are there to position the compartment for the mini so that it doesn't interfere with the monitor.
Your tip with the second browser window is good; I've been doing it so far by copying the workspace from time to time so that I can make changes to the new file that don't affect the original.
The whole operation is not aimed at saving a few euros (I live in Europe), but is a challenge for me in Onshape and an occupation for my milling machine, which doesn't work enough, as I use it purely as a hobby, or my 3d printer.

Re: How to extrude from a PNG shape converted from SVG?
Use inkscape or some other means of converting svg to dxf. that's a vector file that can be read by onshape and extruded.
