I'm struggling to create the bends
Hi All, I'm trying to copy the piece in the images below. It is not my design but with some adaptation it will do what I need it to do. I have tried importing the file as both a .stl and a .step file without any luck at all. So I've resorted to trying to replicate it but cannot get beyond the initial laying out of there…

Need help converting imported mesh parts (Master Chief armor) from Surface to Part/Solid for Hallowe
Hi everyone!I am working on a Master Chief cosplay costume for Halloween, and time is ticking! I have imported a 3D model into Onshape, but everything came in as a mesh. Right now, I need to convert specific sections from Surfaces into actual Parts (Solids) so I can edit them and get them ready for…

Surface Text "Cut Out" extrude not generating
I can not get this text to remove (Cut Out option) on the face of this extrude. I've gone back and changed each extrude to "new" rather than add and it still won't generate. I created a second Part Studio with a basic extrude and it seems to remove text on that one. I can't figure out why it won't generate.…

How to put a spherical face onto a cube?
I need to have a spherical face on one side of a cube. I have created a cube and created a sphere individually, but for some reason I can't get both created without issues in the same model. I was trying to create both parts and use a boolean operation to end up with a spherical face on one side of the cube. I have been…

Is there a way to add multiple selections within one isoparametric curve feature?
I'm trying to add a set of isoparametric curves along a number of different fillet faces (two curves at 0.2 and 0.8). Is there a way to do this without having to create an isoparametric curve feature for each face? I understand it would be difficult to implement something like that, especially for several non-contiguous…

Newbie introduction and a question.
Okay. TOTAL newbie to Onshape here. I “acquired” a copy of SolidWorks 2005 shortly after it was introduced and taught myself how to create more than just mechanical stuff. I have over 30 gigabytes of files devoted to that program. Then Microsoft fucked me. My PC crapped out, and I was forced to “upgrade”. I had been…

How to add a border to text
I made the following keychain as a way to learn how to work with text, etc. Very simple design but it is very time consuming to do the bottom layer to be shaped around the letters. Is there an easier way, other than drawing and manipulating it by hand? If it exists, I would like to know a way to be able to change the text…

Is there a way to expand the dimension text box?
As seen in the image below, it becomes cumbersome to enter and edit long equations in the dialog box that opens when you click on a dimension. If you hover you can see the full length of the equation. Is there a setting to make that dialog box bigger? Seems like something that should already just be bigger.

Grid/snap in drawings (not sketches)
I want to design a custom drawing template and title block as an OnShape drawing and export it to a DWT within the same document. OnShape has very limited support for drawing. Are there any user-created addons for grid/snap in a drawing? I've only found grid/snap features for sketches.

How to ignore configuration items in Configured Assembly Properties?
I am trying to configure part numbers on some assemblies. Frequently, some of the configured values for the assembly are irrelevant to the part number. As an example, on one assembly, a configured orientation angle sets the relative positions of movable elements. The angle doesn't affect the assembly part number, which…
