Rebase Version Tree

Hi,

I use a lot of "master sketches" and "master variables" that I derive in bigger assemblies. Since every change in a derived variable table needs a new version I am forced to created a lot of versions.

Can I rebase my master assembly or insert the variable studios from the master brach instead of an version?

Best Fabian

    If you move your variable studio the same document as you assembly you won't need to create versions.

    I might do that, but since parts of the assembly get reused in other assemblies too, my first thought was to keep some separation. If there isn't away around this, I might just live with it.

    Regarding rebase? Is there a way to do this?

    I have no idea what you mean by "rebase"...

    rebasing is similar to a merge in software development but does thing a bit different. Hard to explain but here is a overview.
    https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/merging-vs-rebasing
    https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/rewriting-history/git-rebase
    Basically:
    "Rebasing is the process of moving or combining a sequence of commits to a new base commit."

    What I was looking for was to rebase the whole main branch to one commit to eliminate the whole version tree.

    If it is a not a Main workspace - you can achieve this by merging (https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/merge.htm?Highlight=merge workspace) to Main and deleting the other workspace. Merge would be the concentrated commit of everything on that branch. If it is Main, you can start a new branch from Start, merge Main into it, but I don't think Onshape'll let you to delete Main.

    Ty for the hint, I'll check it out. I used the term 'delete' but you are correct, in a version tree delete isn't really an appropreate term.
    Nevertheless, The strategy for cleaning up the onshape version tree and history  pretty envolved compared to what I am used to in software dev. Even tough there isnt really a local or remote version of the file itself.
    Maybe this is whats a bit confusing to me, since terminology stems from Git, but the features work differently.
