Ich bekomme die Gewinde nicht hin
Hello, I was actually under the impression that I had created a matching external and internal thread, but the external thread is missing in the slicer, at least. Hallo, ich war eigentlich der Meinung das ich ein passendes Außen- und Innengewinde erstellt hätte, im Slicer gibt es zumindest das Außengewinde nicht.…

How do I move this feature?
First off, I'm very new to Onshape, so I'm likely missing some key basic function. The image below is the bottom of a cylinder center finder I'm using from another Onshape user. I'm trying to modify it to add engraved ruler markings on the diagonal to measure diameter. Anyway, I used a "Ruler" FeatureScript by Gustavo…

Why are Drawings only accessible to one user at a time?
Onshape makes a big deal about its ability to provide simultaneous editing access to its CAD data, as it should, because it makes concurrent collaborative design possible. To my knowledge no other MCAD product has this capability, (MCAD's answer to Google Docs.) however, this capability appears to only extend to Part…

New Custom Tool : SVG to Sketch
Hey all — long-time Onshape user, wanted to share something I've been building and using in production. The problem: Getting vector artwork (logos, cutout profiles, panel designs, icons) into Onshape as real, editable sketch geometry is annoying. DXF import can be inconsistent, and manually retracing SVGs with the sketch…

Deleting a Part Studio from a shared document...
I'm setting up a class for teaching Onshape. As part of testing, I shared a document (with Edit capabilities) with my work account (I use Onshape for work). I modified one Part Studio in that document from my work account. Now, it appears the original account cannot delete that Part Studio. It is not an option in…

What is the size limit for exporting a .STEP file?
I've run into some issues exporting .STEP files of large assemblies, so I have to export smaller chunks and recombine them later. What is the size limit, and what is driving it? Is there any way to increase it?

Auto layout update request
Anyone willing to try the new capabilities to expand on auto layout to allow for nested layouts. So if you have a big cutout and there's open space in the middle, could other parts be fit inside there? As long as the interference check deems there's no interference.

I'm struggling to create the bends
Hi All, I'm trying to copy the piece in the images below. It is not my design but with some adaptation it will do what I need it to do. I have tried importing the file as both a .stl and a .step file without any luck at all. So I've resorted to trying to replicate it but cannot get beyond the initial laying out of there…

Surface Text "Cut Out" extrude not generating
I can not get this text to remove (Cut Out option) on the face of this extrude. I've gone back and changed each extrude to "new" rather than add and it still won't generate. I created a second Part Studio with a basic extrude and it seems to remove text on that one. I can't figure out why it won't generate.…

Keeping student assignment files organized
Hi everyone, I’m trying to find a simple way to keep student assignment files organized when using Onshape Classes. Sometimes students create or copy documents in the wrong folder, and then it becomes confusing to know which file is the actual assignment. How do other educators organize student documents so that students…

Is there a way to add multiple selections within one isoparametric curve feature?
I'm trying to add a set of isoparametric curves along a number of different fillet faces (two curves at 0.2 and 0.8). Is there a way to do this without having to create an isoparametric curve feature for each face? I understand it would be difficult to implement something like that, especially for several non-contiguous…

Newbie introduction and a question.
Okay. TOTAL newbie to Onshape here. I “acquired” a copy of SolidWorks 2005 shortly after it was introduced and taught myself how to create more than just mechanical stuff. I have over 30 gigabytes of files devoted to that program. Then Microsoft fucked me. My PC crapped out, and I was forced to “upgrade”. I had been…

New FeatureScript: Plastic Threads
Hi everyone, I've recently been messing around with FeatureScript and decided to make a thread feature for 3D-printed plastic parts. The general concept came from the ThreadCreator script written by David Cowden almost 8 years ago. His script works really well and has even more configurability than mine but I wanted to tap…
