How do I extrude with a 30 degree angle, please?
I'm new to onshape and finding it a tough learning curve. I have been driving myself mad trying to add a 30 degree angle to these pegs, i.e. to stop things falling off. I have tried sweep, loft, transform and others. If you could give me a clue or two I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

STL and OBJ imports not showing up
I'm testing out importing STL and OBJ files. They seem to import fine (don't report any errors, and say Translation completed), but most of the time I'm not getting an actual mesh file, rather only a tab for the imported file that says No preview available. I've tried importing STL files as ASCII and binary STL. Does it…

I'm gong crazy trying to just edit an array of point locations in featurescript.
I want to be able to edit the point locations of a spline using numerical input, but I can't figure out how to make it work. I can take "movement distance" and a "selected point" as an input, but when I change to a different point, the old point reverts to 0 movement, and the new point assumes the movement distance. code…

Having trouble setting Guides for a Loft
I am new to surfacing in OnShape. In the referenced Public drawing, in the "Body Contour V2" Parts Studio I am trying to use 8 Composite Curves as the Guides for the shape of the Loft. A couple of them work, but most of them display a red dot on the middle profile (BeltLine) line. I have done a Pierce on all of them and it…

Force radius or diameter dimension in a sketch
Say I've sketched what will be a hole and add a keyway to the sketch. After trimming away a portion of the original circle I want to dimension the diameter. Because it is now not a closed arc, OS will only let me dimension it as a radius. But I want the hole to be dimensioned as a diameter. Am I missing something, or is…

Context for Kiri:moto tabs in different documents
Hi everyone, I have started using Kiri:moto for CAM in order to generate gcode to send to a cnc router. It's generally working OK but there is one huge issue, and I'm not sure if it's a legitimate issue with the software or I'm doing something wrong. If I have an OnShape document with a part designed in a Part Studio tab,…

How can I modify the definition map (as displayed in the annotations) within the code?

I can make an array of (newpoints - old points), but I don't know to use that array data to populate the annotation fields correctly when the user selects different points to nudge. It seems like the array is…

What is the secret behind adding a link in a comment?
Since the update of this forum, my links (and not only mine) are displayed as text in the comments. Even when I define them as links. I am wondering because it is clearly possible to insert a link as a link. There are examples, but it is also clear that many users are struggling with me on this issue because many links in…

How do I fix the rotation behavior?
Check this out: https://youtu.be/6sIN9joZNPQ My brain is completely incompatible with what is being considered default behavior for view manipulation. The only app that does it right is Tinkercad. How can I make Onshape behave like Tinkercad? Above all, how can I make the part not run away when I want to look at it from a…

Add version to drawing
Is there a way to add the name of the current version (or Main) to a drawing? I see the ability to add various properties in a Note (and "revision" looks really attractive) but none of them look like the versioning info. People never remember to update the revision manually but they do version for sharing. Alternatively, a…

LSP support for FeatureScript?
