Can you add the quantity of an item to a note or something in a drawing?
Hello, I'm trying to automatically insert the quantity of an item into my drawing but don’t want to use the entire BOM table. I want to make it easy to see, like a big X with the quantity. I could type it manually, as my assembly is fairly small, but I’d like to avoid as many human errors as possible. I see you can add a…

Trying to Figure Out How to Draw a Rectangular Shell With Fingers Extending Inside
I'd like to create a hollow rectangular shell into which another object can slide in and fit. I have done this in the past by just having some holes and some screws go through the two parts.

These two shots are section views of the same part.

I have a separate feature which uses those properties to set part colours by part type. it seems that if I have already manually set appearance on a part that it takes precedence over the script.

Duplicate Assembly instance or Sketch "in place"
Hello, I like to have each design iteration of a part that got prototyped visible in the assembly. That way I have let's say 4 versions of it and I can hide/show to compare any 2, any 3, or all of them at once in a very simple way. AFAIK this cannot be doen with Version Compare. The way I do this in Onshape is whenever I'm…

Adding modifier to dimensions
I'm not a super experienced Onshape user, but I'm looking into its ISO GPS capabilities when it comes to drawings (in particular ISO 14405-1:2025). The geometric tolerances and datums seem to be very well implemented, but I'm struggling with adding modifiers to dimensions of features of size, such as envelope, GX, GN, LP,…

New Feature: Sketch Point Mate Connector
Hi all, I'll be the first to admit that I am a mechanical engineer, not a software developer so this may not be written in the best way.
