Re: Cutting in a ring
Wow! Das ist genau das, was ich wollte! Vielen Dank für deine Hilfe! Ich schaue jetzt mal genau wie du das gemacht hast!
Re: Feature Request: Crossbreak tool
Resurrecting this lonely thread — I could also really use this feature, I'm currently running into the need for it with a client of mine and have to do some engineering drawings hacks to communicate to our manufacturer the need for a cross brake (break?) in a large panel. Throwing in my vote!

Feature Request: Crossbreak tool
Re: Unable to close sketch created from offsetting edge
Thanks everyone! I created another sketch, and went through the same steps I thought I went through with the original sketch. However, the new sketch was fully constrained. I gave up on the original one. I appreciate everyone's help.
Re: Unable to close sketch created from offsetting edge
Offsetting splines is one of the most brittle part of the Onshape sketcher (something it painfully shares with Solidworks).
Now that we finally get a clear indication of unconstrained sketches, I'm struck by how often I missed the end points of offset splines being unconstrained. The blue dots are practically invisible to me.
This is probably a situation where extruding as a surface or solid first and then offsetting or moving faces would work just fine.

Re: Unable to close sketch created from offsetting edge
I got it to work. Those splines really don't want to be both offset and have coincident endpoints with one another (for some reason). I used a custom feature to find the open profiles in the sketch to show the lines that Onshape doesn't think are part of a closed profile (see screens). Then I started tinkering with constraints and modifications. The simplest to do was to delete the offset constraints on the profiles. This may not be what you want! But you can immediately see that the profiles go from open to closed and the extrude then works:
You can see it here:

Re: Onshape triggering autofill in Safari
I use Firefox for dayjob, and Safari for personal, simple projects. I've yet to come across any autofill issues in Safari, and I've been using it for about 1 year.
Note: Safari is my main browser outside of Onshape (for 20 years), and I do use the autofill function of it frequently.
Re: Mating a rafter to a beam
Hello :
The post has a tenon and the beam above has a mortice for that tenon.
1 Does the tenon cut the mortice automatically or after executing a boolean command?
2 If the post is moved, will the mortice move in the beam above?
3 If I wished to dimension the beam and print a drawing, I'd put the post on another drawing layer to hide it. In that case the mortice remains visible. However, the post must remain in position otherwise the mortice disappears.
4 How would OnShape handle this task?
