Re: Help using sweep to create an inverse fillet
Having the same fillet radius inside and out (10mm) does not give s good transition around the corners. The corner by that method causes a thickening at the mid point of filleted around the corner.

Re: Help using sweep to create an inverse fillet
You need to remove the part of the circle that will "turn back on itself" in the corners.
Just draw a vertical line in you path (aligned with the inner wall) and only sweep the part of the circle on the left of it:
Re: Tangent Mate Improvement
By the this was added to Onshape not too long ago, a proof that the improvement requests really work!
Re: Put 2 components together
When you make a new document it will place an assembly tab in it. You can also create a new assembly by clicking the + button at the bottom left inside a document. While inside the assembly, click the insert button and insert your parts.
If your still having trouble, pick one of the starting Learning Pathways and those will walk you though how to use Onshape.
Re: Compound paths/holes in Sketches
Depends on what you want to actually do with this. The sketch itself is flat; the curves separate it into disjoint regions. A sketch is almost always the first step to creating a 3D shape. Typically, you'd do something like extruding the whole thing, and then extrude-removing the "hole".

Re: 3D Sketching??
I agree that there are some design intents that just can't be achieved easily or at all without 3d sketching, as in your case. My preferred workflow for frame work is to make a solid body, then include the edges in a 3d sketch and delete the solid body to obtain my profile paths. In Onshape, I can use the edges of solid bodies themselves as paths, which is quicker than making 3d sketch. However, more freeform paths are not as easily replicated and can easily break. In my freeform example, it took 4 sketches and 4 planes to replicate what one 3d sketch could have done. all because my sketch path requires fillets to make pipe bends. And if you adjust either of the 2 base sketches too far, it breaks the last sketch or frame feature because the tangency constraints flip inexplicably.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 20th, 2024
Wow - what a package this month! Many requests got checked.
Can't wait to test everything and nice to see some progress on rendering too ..
Looking forward to that model structure tree for us pro users too!

Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 20th, 2024
As someone that coaches a robotic team, I LOVE showing that the sketches are not fully constrained. This helps reinforce what I am trying to teach about always constraining sketches!!!
Re: Sheet metal models and featurescript
With the latest release, live sheet metal models can be derived.
