Re: How to design with reference to other components?
When you imported a step file of a part studio was generated at the same time. As Robert says can be derived into a another part studio or worked on in it's own studio.

Use 'Derived' in a part studio. - Scotty
Re: How to progressively scale (feature pattern)?
To do it with derive, you can have the original part configured with a scale value. This way you input the scale factor directly into the derived part within it's configuration. Then your pattern only needs to pattern two things: scale variable and the derive. Inside the derive feature you can set the configured scale to the scale variable, like this:

Also, check out the configurations learning pathway, it will show you some really neat things:
Re: Linear pattern not extruding on all parts
You are patterning a part. A part with holes in it. You aren't patterning the holes, so there is no reason Onshape will add holes to the existing parts.
You could pattern the holes after the boolean:

Or just do the whole thing as a feature pattern:

Right-click menu length
I find that the right-click menu is getting too long in some cases. In the example below where I clicked the face of a part in a part studio, I would remove everything in the red box because those things are accessible through my s key shortcut menu. It starts to slow me down when the right-click menu gets too long.
Re: WOW
Impressive, eh? We would still like to know what happened especially if it is reproducible.
Re: Mirrored splitting diagonally and adding holes for inserts
Yes there is. I think my suggestion above is much more sraight formard. just drawing a line in the same way you suggest in your workaround. Attach a plane to the line. Then use the split feature selecting the pane as the tool and the part will be completly split where the plane intersects the part. You will not loose any geometry this way either. If you need the split to be in the shape of a drawn profile then you would extrude a surface and use the surface as the tool for the split feature.

I been with OS since 2016 and this I the first time seeing a crash??
The rest of the windows and apps were still working.
Just killed the browser and restarted.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 20th, 2024
Great release! This time's winner (for me) would be a seemingly small one, though: Structure view. That would have helped a lot on an everyday basis. But it's only for enterprise, not even pro users. :0/
