First attempt at Analysis - need help
My first play with the Analysis feature of OnShape. I have a simple structure which is a composite beam consisting of two elements (upper and lower) having different properties, fastened together with bolts. The load is applied to the lower element, but only the upper element is supported at each end. I am ultimately…

cylindrical and parallel mate conflict
Hey Guys, I have encountered a problem, where I have the inner part of the bearing connected to a rod via cylindrical mate and the outer part of the bearing, to be more specific the plane area with the bore holes, must be parallel to the marked side of the servomotor, no planar mate. In theory this connection must work,…

Having issues with making jigs using boolean and hollow parts
Hi, I’m currently working on creating various jigs for parts that we manufacture. This works well for solid parts using Boolean operations, but I would like to achieve the same result with hollow parts, as shown in the picture. Is there a way to create only the imprint of the outer or inner surface of a hollow part, rather…

How's AI for feature scripts working for you?
I am trying to use Gemini for feature script creation and it has not been awesome. I have tried up to 5 iterations where I feed OnShape errors back into Gemini to fix, and not been successful. Someone told me he had to run 40 iterations! Is this other people's experience? How many debug iterations do you run?

Is there any way to remove these lines from my part? Its the product of two swept areas and an extrude between. Loft did not seem to want to work! Is there a way I can just clean up the appearance of the part so the stretched 'H' in the middle of the button is gone? Thanks!

How can I make an embossment that ist cut by the edge of the part?
I have to transfer a sheet metal part from SolidWorks to Onshape. The part has several embosses, some of them cut by the edge of the part. In SolidWorks there is no real problem - it adds material beyond the edge when you add the embossment, you cut it off afterwards - problem solved. SolidWorks: Working with Onshape, no…

Any efficient ways to make a cutlist from a cabinet drawing?
Im trying to guage the possibilities of using OnShape for woodworking. One of the functions im missing is the ability to select all my parts, and put the dimensions in a list or a table. Is there any featurescripts that can do this? I've seen the "frame" workflow, but that seems very inconvenient when you've allready drawn…

How do I make tabs for a piece that needs to be split?

How do I go about splitting an already extruded part like a puzzle piece to do that. I am familiar with splitting a part via a plane but that gives me a flat surface for…

Wrap text around outside of cylinder evenly
I'm sure I'm missing something easy, but I just need to wrap the numbers 0-9 around the outside of a cylinder to make a rotating counter. I know I can use the wrap tool, but the text manipulation abilities seem frankly abysmal from what I can tell. I can't rotate the numbers vertically as a group, nor can I make a circular…

Merging Parts Together
Hi, I'm trying to teach myself OnShape and have had some good luck finding videos on most of my questions, but this one is eluding me for whatever reason…. Seems pretty basic, but I created on box and I would like to make duplicates of that box and make a joined line of 5 identical boxes. They would share walls. Is there a…

Arc length dimension for curved pipe doesn't work in drawing
I'm trying to dimension a curved pipe's arc length in a drawing. I used the dimension tool, clicked start, end, and the arc itself, but this doesn't work. Instead it gives some sort of angle dimension instead. The pipe is created from an arc in the part studio, and I can dimension the arc length without problem in the part…

Rib won't work about half the time
A lot of times, when I try to use rib, it just won't work. I'm almost always doing it on a cylinder, and I saw another post here on this topic and the answer was "It doesn't know what to do with the top on cylinders", but the solution was then to use extrude. There has to be a better, faster way though, right? Are there…

How to avoid missing changes
Hi, I'm currently experiencing a frustrating patch with Onshape. It seems that I mess up things when working on new sketches that I'm not aware off. It might be memory issues in the browser or maybe just me. Fact is that I have several times opened up a new sketch on an existing plane, used the "Use" function to make sure…

Same Part Repeated in BOM
Hi, I am encountering unexpected behavior in how Onshape handles parts in a BOM. I am designing a simple workbench with four identical legs. The legs were created in a single Part Studio by modeling one leg, mirroring that leg, and then mirroring both those legs. Each part was renamed to the same name. There are thus four…
