Press new in the dialog box.then you can get new part in the same part studio..
my "part list" in "part studio 1" contains only one part. next part I had to make in "part studio 2" (by a create tab button you mentioned.) in your screens or tutorials there are plenty parts in single part studio. that's my problem and I have no idea how to do it.

The first post from @Narayan_K seems to me to answer this question almost entirely, but perhaps what you are not doing (if you cannot make it work) is creating a new sketch for the second part, in a new location (but still within the same part studio as the first part).
Having done this, pick that sketch, and then follow @Narayan_K 's instructions in his first post to extrude (or rotate, or in some other way) create a NEW part from that new sketch.
As a newbie myself still deciding how best to organise my parts/parts studios.
A good use of the parts studio is when working with similar sized parts where you need to use the geometry of one part to make the next part , ie sketching onto an existing face etc. This then keeps the parts into one parts studio for that area of the work on the complete assembly.
Good to make your acquaintance, also dealing with robots! what are you doing with them?
This is also why I would like to see archicad import in Onshape to have the buildings as a base for production lines. But from what I have understood from other threads, Onshape performance couldn't handle complete factory at the moment - but it's only about optimizing not to render invisible stuff.
@peter_hall What is your game with robots? I'm playing with older Abb robots (M93-M98) which are very good and economic choice for material handling.
Welding applications, mainly Mig welding robots , robot fixtures and general automation. We do get involved in other things sometimes. Pick and place, painting etc.
I am looking at Onshape as a tool to develop ideas on projects then communicate with customers , suppliers , our designers etc. I believe onshape and cloud based designing could vastly improve our ability to communicate anywhere in the world , although currently our projects are UK based.
