Hi, I am a new user. My only cad experience is with 2d design for plasma cutting steel parts. I am frustrated, just trying to create a rectangle with a little depth. I see how you create a drawing but can’t seem to find a rectangle tool. Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to Onshape Mark,

    While in a sketch you can press "g" to start using the rectangle tool. The shape you draw must be a fully enclosed shape to be able to make it 3D. To make it 3D, finish the sketch by pressing the green check button, then use the feature button called "extrude".

    Drawing tabs do not have sketch tools. you will need to create your sketches in a partstudio tab.
