Is it possible to get the length of all the outer edges of a face?
Hi everyone, I have a surface with a hole inside, and I'm interested in the total length of the outside contours (excluding the length of the edges around the hole). i.e. the length of all the selected edges in the example below. Is there a way to get this wihout having to select individual edges, but only the face?…

How can I generate a mass override with equations
I am making a parametric chain for FTC robotics and in an effort to simplify rendering it is a hitbox for all the links, how can I use a variable as the mass property override for the part? I have a variable with the mass already but says "enter a valid expression"

Retrieve documenthistory with API
Hi, I would like to retrieve the entire documenthistory (all microversions) from a given document.Currently, I'm using the documents/documenthistory endpoint (https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer/#/Document/getDocumentHistory), but it seems only to return a fixed number of microversions from the history. To retrieve…

Use a part with 5000+ pieces in an assembly
I'm designing an avionics panel in an aircraft. All I care about is the outer shell of each avionics component to determine where to cut holes in the panel, route wires etc. I have models for a couple of the avionics boxes from manufactuers. But unlike most of the avionics models I have, these are not one piece I can click…

Setting up multiple cabinets for CNC
Hi, I have modeled up a bathroom vanity I need to make three of on a CNC. I am using the auto layout feature to put them on the sheet goods and make a drawing. What is the best workflow to put all three vanities on as few sheets as possible? Since Auto Layout only works in part studio, I believe I need to insert three…

Assembly Mates with Subassemblies are driving me crazy - what am I doing wrong??
Hey folks, I'm sorry but working with Assembly mates in Onshape is driving me crazy. Here is my current problem. I'm trying to assemble a subassembly into an upper level assembly. Because my subassembly is, in turn, made up of it's own subassemblies, when I bring it in and add a mate it is only moving part of the…

Right-click stopped working on Mac
MacOS 12.1 on a 2017 MacBook Air. I'd been away from OnShape for a few months. When I came back, right-clicking now brings up the browser's right-click options rather than OnShape's. I tried both Safari and Firefox, and I plugged in a real mouse. Nothing works. When I switch to a Windows computer, it works fine. I don't…

How to I deselect individual parts in an Assembly?
Say I box-select a bunch of stuff to delete, but want to keep a couple of parts. My natural inclination is just to ctrl+click on them to remove them from the selection, as this is how it works in everything from other CAD and 3D software, to RTS games, to Windows itself. Is there a shortcut to do this or do I just have to…

Pattern following a curve

I have my two curves fully defined and all is good there, so looking to do the cross members by patterning as opposed to doing each…

Is there a setting to change the color scheme?
The background is default set to white, which is absolute terror on the eyes, and the main reason I've been drawn away from using Onshape. Perhaps something similar to AutoCad Inventor, SolidWorks, what have you, where there are preset alternate color schemes, and the option to set your own colors.

Why does my onshape document sometimes show only the highlights

Curve Deviation has become Curve Analyzer
I heavily edited Curve Deviation into Curve Analyzer which can display both deviation and / or curvature or radius, in normal or log scale. Both analysis graphs can be turned on or off, visibility can be set, scaling, and density as well. I also fixed the code so it will work if the curves overlap each other as can be seen…

Merging edges
Hi, I'm trying to find a way to merge edges into a single edge for processing but haven't managed to find a way. I thought maybe composite curves would help but I haven't found a way to make them work. In essence I have flat parts which will have one vertical side and one curved side. If the curved edge is created form a…

What's the best way to join sheet metal parts for an item you don't know all the dimensions?
Sorry I'm not sure on my terminology as a beginner. If you imagine I have created two parallel parts which are complete and I know the dimensions for, I have then used the extrude to 4mm and also bent using K factor within the sheet metal parts for the two parts. I then want to create a joining piece to fit correctly…

Export obj or stl file from render studio with the texture attached
A customer has asked for an obj file of the render I sent them with the textures attached so they can create their own renders. Can I do this in Onshape? Or should I tell them that I can't provide that and I will have to use some other cad program to apply a different texture?

How do I create a MAP variable?
