I have a number of solidworks projects that I am trying to convert to OnShape.

The object comes in but I can't measure it or edit it. Am I doing this wrong? Is the part not editable? Also, I do not have access to Solidworks any longer so I can't "Pack and Go" my assemblies. How do I go about zipping the part files and assembly files so I can import the entire assembly with parts?

You should be able to recreate pack and go by manually zipping all files. I'll assume you're using windows since you're a former SW user.
If all goes well, you should be able to import the resulting zip in OS.
When Zipping, make sure the Zip file name matches the main assembly name

As for measure, give OnShape a few minutes. Sometimes the measurement tool won't function for a little while, because it is still calculating the model in the background. After a few seconds in a tab up to about a minute sometimes (depending on the complexity), you should regain the ability to measure.
