Configurations - Learn how to use Onshape configurations
Make one part studio that can have different combinations of options. You can configure lengths, suppressions, color, material, you name it!
.
Custom Apps - Learn how to make custom apps
Thanks to Onshape's API, custom apps have almost limitless automation possibilities. Unlike FeatureScript, which is limited to the part studio, apps can access any tab and even connect with outside sources.
Here's an example of using Onshape's api to change all specified properties for all tabs in selected documents.

Custom Features - Learn how to make Onshape custom features
Have you ever wanted to click a face and automatically insert holes or insert regularly used geometry? You can make custom tools with Onshape's FeatureScript language. Both Onshape default features and custom features use the FeatureScript language. This means that custom features are not 3rd rate and have the same potential for robustness and functionality as Onshape's default features.
.
Computed Properties - Learn how to use Onshape computed properties
Automatically calculate properties like volume or length and populate drawings or tables.
