audio and the pause feature disappeared

r_miller145 — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 08:45:57 +0000

I was doing the lessons, started with the learning cad as a newbie and the fist several lessons worked perfectly, i go to the lesson about Arcs and Circles and the Pause, expanded view and sound went away. I restarted the window and still didn't show up on the screen. i went back one lesson and it was fine, went forward to the next lesson and it was gone. i even moved to a different computer and login and the same thing, no sound, no pause/play and no ability to make the lesson full screen.

Please advise as i am learning a lot about OnShape so far and would like to continue the lessons

Can't acces to checkbox in the configuration panel

CM_Wind_Fisher — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 19:14:25 +0000

Hi !

It seems like I can't creat any other kind of "configuration input" than the list. I tried to click on the arrow on the right side of the "configure part studio" button - just as the course I'm following says I should do - but nothing appends.

Do you know if this has something to do with my account ?

A little help would be appreciated here :)

Thanks,

Camille

Jackhammer Gear Cover Exercise Step 6 - Moving "Shell 1" breaks the part

charlie_grice675 — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 07:35:49 +0000

When I move "Shell 1" to the bottom of the Features List, the part "breaks". The label turns red, a red arrow appears at the top of the Features List that says "1 feature failed to regenerate" and the "shell" function performed in step 3 in undone (the part is solid again). Plus the holes on one end don't go all the way through the part (they aren't visible from the top).

Repurchased Onshape Certified Professional but unable to start exam?

DhruvPatel21965 — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 20:18:27 +0000

I did not receive a voucher code from onshape but did receive an order confirmation email. I purchased it on August 16th(4 days ago). When I go to the certification dashboard, only the previous onshape exam( I had given the previous exam 2 years ago) comes up, not the new one that I recently purchased. Can somebody from onshape support help me on the next step and figure out whats going on?

problem with assembly introduction lesson

kathleen_geraedts — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 16:17:42 +0000

I am trying to complete the Onshape Assembly Basics found on https://learn.onshape.com/learn/article/assembly-introduction-lesson. But within the finale exercise (Extra Practice: assembly practice 4), I get immediately the following: Cylinder <1> has error: Failed to resolve instance.

This part cannot be used therefore. Could this be repaired, so we can make the whole exercise? Thanks in advance.

Why the SOLIDWORKS format is not available for export?

pankaj_dang — Thu, 28 May 2026 22:55:03 +0000

I am currently doing the Exercise: Exporting CAD Data from the course 'Importing and Exporting CAD Data'. On the slide no. 5 (Step 5) it says "Choose SOLIDWORKS as the file format and then select Store the file in a new tab." But when I do the same, I did not find any 'SOLIDWORKS format' while importing the 'Hydraulic Component Cylinder' part. I can not proceed to next step without exporting that part in SOLIDWORKS format. So kindly help me to resolve this problem.

Need help

KodaKnight — Fri, 08 May 2026 06:35:36 +0000

I just took the certification test again and passed with a 91% because my last name changed recently. For some reason, it won't show the certificate in the certification tab on my dashboard. Instead, it still shows itself in the "My Learning" tab. How do I fix this? (edit: the (1) on the "Certifications" tab is an old certification. The one that says incomplete is the one experiencing the problem.

Unsymmetric Loft - only solution to loft half and mirror?

samuel_rayworth — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 21:48:25 +0000

So I've been trying to create a forward fuselage for a RC aircraft. I've got a decent amount of time working with lofts, especially with make wings and alike. however with this particular problem I'm running into the loft generating unsymmetrically, I've been playing around, trying different sketches, matching up each sketch. doing guides and connections. is my only solution to add more guides, or do a half split down the centreline then just mirror the surface? I've browsed the forums but I've yet to find one applicable.

Here you can see the problem in question.

connections are Symmetric

the problem seems to be amplified when i use guides, when guides are not selected in the loft panel, it's still there but more subtle. Any help is appreciated, Just looking for the most efficient solution.

CAD file can be found here. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/73f5e52c7cad43333afdd767/w/b8cd8c29abfaec27ec7a0fd5/e/c3056cfa1f1d228e0ff19388?renderMode=0&uiState=69f11ce111864741dd66f9b4

Understanding Curves: Air Intake Exercise - What start/end order do I use Bridging Curves?

Skelobones — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 00:19:57 +0000

What is the reason that we select Dark Blue's edge and point before selecting Grey's edge in step 1?
What is the reason that we select Dark Blue's edge before selecting Grey's edge and point in step 2?

et cetera…

For what reason are the edges chosen in this manner? I want to understand why a single piece doesn't have all the Start selection. What is the best practice to making Bridging Curves? Is it similar to fastening a tire, tightening the nut across from one another in a star shape as if i'm evening out pressure?

I would really love if this part of the course was more clear on what effects my ordering of parameters will have, if any :).

Variables and Expressions Lesson

Joe_Mitch — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:39:38 +0000

Good Morning,

I use the variables and expressions lesson from the Learning Center https://learn.onshape.com/courses/variables-and-expressions to teach my students about the proper use of variables and expressions. Last November I had no issues with this content but today we discovered as a class that the Creating and Using a Variable Studio exercise was not working as described in the lesson. We were able to download a copy of the document with no problem and then create our variable studio but it did not copy the variables from the studio over to the part studio for the large cup. When I duplicated the part studio the variables worked fine.

I tried this with other documents I had and experienced the same issue. After some trial and error I discovered that in order to get the variable studio to be copied to part studios I already had created I had to at a minimum reload the webpage which refreshed the document. This was tested on various computers in windows and chrome with same same results. The issue is the learning center assignment does not mention having to reload only going back to the TAB. I assume it was some coding done somewhere that does not have the screen fully refresh even though when you click from the variables studio to a part studio that was already created it shows loading studio data. This happened to most of my students today.

Thank you,

Richard "Joe" Mitchell

Learning center lessons not showing?

Ste_Wilson — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 16:29:00 +0000

I went to show my students the learning centre this morning and the actual content is in a letter box about two lines high and un usable. The transcript below is fine. This is on edge and chrome browsers. I'll post a screen shot when back at my desk tomorrow. Just thought I'd post while I remembered.

Here is a screen shot of what the introduction to CAD looks like:

How to define a range dependent variable?

adi_noyboer004 — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 19:05:12 +0000

Hello to you all,
I'm trying to define a variable (z) by a range of values for variable (k)
'k' range 'z' value

I was trying to define a variable by nesting expression { ((#k>6&&#k=<8)?1:(#k>8&&#k=<10)?2:3) }, but to no avail.
Please advise.

Sincerly

Brand Noob to CAD.

daniel_critchlow — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 23:47:08 +0000

Hello,

I really believe I want to make CAD a skill. I need to learn the core items/tools/basic so I can make this a useful tool. If I want to learn the core/basic of CAD, where can I find the functions and its use and non use along with the prerequisites or using these functions? If you will, the boring humble beginnings?
