Early in this forum we decided to have both questions and discussions. Questions are posts in search of a specific answer that can be accepted/rejected by the post owner. A Discussion tends to be about opinion and feedback on a topic. In an effort to make this a bit simpler for those that want to ask for help, we have…

Anyone finding a use for this new feature in mate connectors? I can't say I remember reading anything about its arrival and I don't really see a definition for it in the help system. I think I understand what it is allowing us to do but, I'm not certain I understand why I would want to choose which entity on the part the…

UPDATE: This issue is resolved, thank you for helping. Every time I make a SINGLE edit or even open up a sketch, there is a ~20-30 second wait time while that wheel spins. The regeneration time is even listed as 23.46 seconds despite my computer being able to render 30.7 million triangles per second and my effort to leave…

Hello Im a student and I'm work on heat exchanger, shell and tube, water-water. Im finding its hard to make a desired section in Onshape designated drawing mode. I tried recreating views I got by "section view" on the main assembly to drawing mode. I did not manage to do it. I provided pictures for better understanding. My…

as the name suggests when I try to extrude a part to remove material from my base it results in a Boolean operation failed to return a valid point and neither Me nor my cad Teacher can find out why…

Hello, Is there a way to add a single line (stroke) font to Onshape so I can CNC part names onto my parts?

In the grey model is a loft made in SW 2025 with 3 guide curves; One on either edge and one over the top. In the beige model is the same loft with the same dimensions made in onshape, but here it creates a sharp, bumpy ridge instead of a smooth curve. Using normal end conditions on top curve does nothing. I know onshape…

Trying to get something close to this in onshape except without the mismatched transitions. This was done in bumpmesh. I can't ultimately use bumpmesh because I need it in a STEP file in the end. I've messed a bit with the texture fs and the attractor, but haven't had much luck with those. I think I need more seat time to…

Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to look! I cannot get this car profile to extrude, and I've tried everything I know. I'm certain someone here with much more experience will either have an answer, or know that its not possible…could you please let me know? Here's the link to the project:…

"Switch From Line to Tangent Arc in Sketches" Tangent arcs created automatically I don't know if it's a convenient feature, but it's so uncomfortable when referring to other sketch lines. Is there a way to turn off this feature?

Looking for help if a tool is available before I figure it out on my own.

I am wanting to create a feature script that converts a polygon mesh to a quad mesh. The Onshape API doesnt communicate low level poly/vertex functionality through the feature script bridge. When I put in a feature request for this I was told poly tools are too low on the priority list. Is it true that not enough people…

How do I turn inference off? I'm building a simple placard with fillet corners that I need to extrude. The placard will have a secondary rectangle with fillets to create an inset. Due to inference it isn't treating all four corners as equal.

Having some issues with my slot on my cylinder and making my hilux right to extrude the slot. looking for some guidance on this. You can see how its not matching my circles on the cylinder. Thanks!

Im doing what the Exercise is telling me yet anything i try it wont appear, i dont really know why.

Hey folks, I'm trying to create a screen that would live against this filter material seen here on the inside. Screen can be anthing such as surface with lots of holes in any patern or shape. The only need is that the screen is seen as the support for the filter material (seen here) as the air will be pulled through the…

I want the highlighted edge to also be filleted, but the tool does not seem to let me do this. Is there a way around this? Thanks

When I try signing into Onshape all I get is a blank screen. My wife signed up for Onshape and on signing in she also only gets a blank screen. Are the servers down?

Hello, I understand a lot of this could be due to the Arena connection for releases, but a few things I am noticing when submitting large releases: The release window is difficult to manage when you have 20+ drawings. Options for collapsing or expanding all items would be helpful. As you type in revisions, rows will…

I'm logged into my onshape account and to access the learning centre it says to also log in to that, but the platform just returns a "this email account is already associated with an account" response. the brain with cogs icon just seams to want to create me a new learning platform account and not log me in to my old one.

I have a sheet metal bracket with curves on two different planes. I cannot figure out how to do this using OnShape. What am I missing? Here's an image of the bracket. There is a sketch on a plane at the back of the bracket. I need the sheet metal formed to match that sketch and transition to the flat at A.…

I am trying to create a circular pattern of (embossed) text on a surface, with each instance displaying a different value in increasing order. A simple example would be a clock with hours values increasing around the dial. My final project will have much more than 12 values but the dial will serve here as an illustration…

Hi, I have a variable in a sketch text, when I apply a linear pattern which changes the variable, the text does not change. Following example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/89556755f21cf336a44b60d6/w/7259a717c555919364ce36b4/e/56e92cccab259f192183c6ca?renderMode=0&uiState=6727d2a0acee506bdb3c0c00 I would expect the…

I could not get text to work at all with a #variable. I tried for over an hour, but nothing worked. My goal is to emboss a text string that includes a single dimension of the part onto a face, such as "Cube Height is #Height inches". It only works as a simple text string, but I want to update the text automatically when…

I have a Part Studio containing a single solid. When I attempt to add fillets only one edge can be filleted per step in the Feature list. In a single step when I click on an edge it turns yellow. When I click on any other edge they both turn red (figs 3 and 4). Figure 5 shows edges that are on opposite sides of the…

This is a strange application but for a project I'm looking at getting sheet metal cut on a router to be bent, but it has shallow recesses for plates to be located and welded on afterwards. I have played around with the finish sheet metal model tool, however these changes don't propagate to the drawing as they were after…

I need to get the inverse of my model. Just the internal space. I have tried a few methods that I was able to previously do in autodesk Inventor (Derive a solid part and subtract the original.) I have tried to use the internal volume command, but the asm is very complex and seems to have too many openings, or other…

Friends of mine have a dog that had to have it's front leg amputated at the chest. No Nub left. I was just looking to see if anyone already had a model for something similar. I am new to Onshape and new to 3D printing but I would welcome any help. Cheers, Ryan

I get constant errors when trying to compile FeatureScript. What is the problem? https://cad.onshape.com/documents/429e6210f5198eba46d587d4/w/6de781fd87ddbe3f0f8b3da7/e/e099ef0e63da6fe167a1b6fc
