Multiple parts in a part studio sharing same reference geometry

rob_white

Hi all,

I am new to Onshape and are starting to run into problems with too many part studios in the one design!
I need some help in learning how combine several parts into the one part studio. They all share some common geometry so how can I combine them?

I find the best way to work in part studio's is with parts in a logical position, generally the assembled position on the product (not all around the origin) which enables stable links across parts as required. It's not uncommon for me to have 50 parts with 200 features in the 1 studio. Sometime I will have a master part studio and use derived part's, sketches or plane's to link back to a common layout. It really depends on the product and your final outcome but I would be trying to reduce the number of part studio and sort/group parts for manufacture using the assemblies.
