Cannot export to STL
I have a document that fails to export to STL. I'm able to export to STEP and 3MF, but attempts to export to STL result in the usual message that export is proceeding and I'll receive a notification with its progress followed by nothing no matter how long I wait. The document is here: I'd welcome and value any input anyone…

The areQueriesEquivalent method does not work when compared to evaluateQuery?
I'm developing a simplistic feature that takes two inputs: A face An edge My only constraint is that the edge belong to the face. In other words, if I query the face for all edges, I expect that the edge selected will also be in the set. To accomplish that, I've written a simple FeatureScript function called…

Fork of Parametric Curve
Sorry, first FS and not sure the etiquette for forking a feature (I wish OnShape had pull requests). Parametric curves (Mahir) is great and it allows you to translate the origin but not rotate it so added a mate connector parameter that can be used with or instead of the move origin option.…

Cut list from MDF panels
Hi I know this has been asked many times before, but I can't seem to get my head round how I use frames and cut list in this instance. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/03f2f41ced144652a5173916/w/e3c37a37ac004f162053c318/e/21953c303c400f03d2c463e0?renderMode=0&uiState=6a44ffb7c596de4872b51424 Basically I want to use…

Loft with two guides doesn't work
Hey all, I had already often problems with lofts, but the actual loft gets me crazy. The Feature "Winglet Übergangsbogen" doesn't work. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a138fe94d7d1cc480c782009/w/549f911486f55a507d4050ca/e/2f3fd09df23d66ba4577e91c?renderMode=0&tangentEdgeStyle=2&uiState=6a4f6b48244defd18d26d0db No matter…

Why is my fillet going inward instead of outward?
Hi - I'm new to Onshape and have been trying hard to solve this myself but can't seem to. Notice the fillet on the tongue is rounding inward, rather than smoothly rounding outward. All of the tutorials make this look so easy. I will note that this tongue shape is a duplicated line from what it is sitting on, then extruded…

Help with lofts and boolean/split
I am trying to create a diverter for my minisplit ac. I want to attach it to a 6in hose so I created a cone and then used Routing Curves and lofts to attach the parts that connect to the minisplit to the cone. I hacked it together and it seems like it would work but it's ugly. Any advice on a better way to connect the two…

Documents Space
Hello. At times I'm reluctant to start a new document for something really minor or to create a document in order to reply to a question on the forum. My concern is the possibility of Onshape's resources (space?, admin?) being unnecessarily used. I created a document 'Miscellaneous' that has a bunch of unrelated part…

How do you create new toolbar dropdown groups?
I love customizing the toolbar but can't figure out how to group tools into dropdowns (like Fillet and Chamfer) https://www.onshape.com/en/resource-center/tech-tips/tech-tip-customizing-your-onshape-toolbar I've tried a bunch of variations of dragging on top, moving around, looking in my account.

New FeatureScript: 3D nesting
Hi everyone, <<Link first>> I wanted to share a new small FeatureScript tool-chain, mainly targeting powder bed fusion AM. It’s specifically focusing on the workflow around build preparation and 3D nesting. Although originally designed with powder bed AM in mind, 3D nesting could be useful in other domains too. This whole…

Part Studio intermittently becomes very slow when editing features
I’m working on a Part Studio with about 147 features, and feature editing sometimes becomes extremely slow. The issue is not graphics performance. Panning, rotating, and zooming are smooth, and the Onshape performance check reports good GPU/WebGL performance. The slowdown happens while creating or modifying features. For…

Suspension mechanisms
Hello, I am a high school student working on a project where I have two wheels riding on a beam (one wheel is on the top, the other is on the bottom. Kind of like a rollercoaster setup).

Receive emails from OnShape with subject "Haven't seen you in a while"
The email address sent from is alerts@OnShape.com. The reason I am writing is to inquire if I log in almost every day of the week, I am suspicious of an email stating I haven't logged in a while. Who would I forward this email to in case it is part of a phishing scheme posing as On Shape?
