Information on creating an onshape app
I feel a little lost with regards to creating an app for onshape that allows some form of UI to be integrated into the onshape view. Can anyone lead me to some resources that detail the main steps for this. I am having trouble understanding where the coding side of the app is done. Do I use a programming language and then…

Arc length dimension for curved pipe doesn't work in drawing
I'm trying to dimension a curved pipe's arc length in a drawing. I used the dimension tool, clicked start, end, and the arc itself, but this doesn't work. Instead it gives some sort of angle dimension instead. The pipe is created from an arc in the part studio, and I can dimension the arc length without problem in the part…

When managing users via CSV upload, do the invitations have an expiration?
In our semester-long makerspace course, I upload the entirety of our 6th grade class at the beginning of the school year in early September. Many invitations seem to get dropped by semester 2 in late January, so I usually upload everyone again. We also have a rotation of multiple machines in the course, and students start…

Can I add a Variable Table in a drawing
I saw this question, but the only reply was to search help for variable. I did that and could not find an answer, or I missed it. I am trying to add dimensional values from my part into a table in a drawing. Either by inserting the variable table or individual dimensions. Can I?

PLEASE explain "externally disambiguated" / "transient" / "robust" / "tracked" / "unstable" ID's etc
It has been years and we still don't have foundational knowledge of how featurescript operates. From what I can see in the forums most of us dev's have been wasting hours upon hours guessing and testing. This post and others are "weak-sauce" at best. We all know about: -"forEachEntity" -"makeRobustQuery" etc, etc and may…

Large model local computing, mesh features
I am attempting to use medium sized 3D scans I took of my car, for example the wheel well and suspension components of just one corner. That model is too large for OnShape and makes creating parts within that model basically impossible. Its a slide show with features taking a long time to generate. So there is no way to do…

Custom Feature: Tangent Fill
FeatureScript link I've been using SolidWorks a lot lately (not by choice) and one of the features I found that is nice is the Tangent option in the Filled Surface feature for when you're filling in patches in places where fillets leave sharp pinch points. Now, while the native Onshape Fill already does this, it's a PITA…

Can you use "conditionals" with variables?
What I mean here is can you do things like; if x>10 then y=0.5*x else y=x. What about logical functions like AND and OR? If conditionals and logicals could be used, then I could easily "program" multiple variables to change off one or two primary parameters. For example, enter a woodruff key number (i.e. 204) into a…
