Re: How to copy or move a part from Point to Point ?
When Transform is set to Translate by line, you have the option of using a line or points

Re: [ANSWERED] Create lobed knob / Sweep along "wavy circle"
@felix_fischer992 - You might try this approach, revolve the basic round form, sketch necessary geometry required to cut one flute, sweep cut that shape one time , then circular pattern that sweep cut feature (don't forget to check the apply all instances box)
Good luck

Re: Best method - drawing this furniture
The dots, require sketches, and the sketches require planes - I don't think there is any way to get around this (don't let planes scare you). My advice to you would be to take the self paced courses in the "learning center", lot's of them are free, and quite well laid out. But this is not a twenty minute thing - it will take some time to absorb it all.
If this investment in time doesn't seem worthwhile to you, or you are only doing this one-off project and have a deadline, then you might consider hiring someone to complete this model for you. It is relatively straight forward, and shouldn't take much time to complete.
I encourage you to keep at it, and learn Onshape - you never know if you'll need it in the future.
Re: What is the proper approach in onshape for splitting model into multiple parts? (reverse assembling)
Thanks! I already fixed the problem as you said - by adding those 2 lines to the sketch and then use NEW when extruding the disk. I also exported them as 2 separate models.
Thanks!
Re: What is the proper approach in onshape for splitting model into multiple parts? (reverse assembling)
Select NEW instead of ADD when you do a revolve or extrude that should be a separate part. Additionally, the fact that the feature timeline allows you to go back in time, you can use this to change features in the past as your design evolves.
Re: Part split
You could create a solid that contains the part you want to separate. then use boolean intersect to create the part you want. and set the feature to keep the part and the 'tools'. you will have 3 parts after that…... then boolean subtract the 'container' part from the original part. and then you are left with two parts as desired.
