Why isnt the object considered a part?
I made this pin and want to cut a section out to make it 'pinchable' But I cant cut it out as it throws me the error "No merge scope" Which is as I asume from the fact that onshape doesn't consider any parts are in the project yet, it only lists one surface. To me the part is fully closed off. I used the revolve function…

Can someone please help me understand why the linear feature pattern isn't generating some instances
The Linear feature pattern sometimes skips over some instances but then generates the next one. Can someone please help me find out why? The doc in question is in the link below and its in part studio 1. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a0ae54924a1679b616eae9bf/w/0b79df286c600cd916f699ef/e/87b6c1b89e8908be90fa00e6

Struggling With Turning 3D Scan to Model
I'm using 3d splines in an effort to trace this 3d scanned part for smoothing, editing, and ultimately slight redesign of the part but the fill panels aren't even generating as I'd hoped.. I thought of using a loft but struggle with trying to trace the shape effectively. I've made the document public… any help or inputs…

How do you change the dimensions in a sketch on iOS?
so far, after approximately an hour of searching online, going through Help documents, clicking every dimension tool I can within the app, there seems to be no logical or well laid out way to change the dimensions on an object. I am at the verge of giving up entirely on this app and calling it poorly designed. Please, if…

Reuse Sketches
Hi everybody! I have an issue that I run into every once in a while that I'd like feedback on from the great community here. Sometimes, I find myself wanting to reuse sketches. This could be the shape of a specific punchout for a connector that I might need to use several times in the same part, and/or reuse in other…

Improvement Request: Fix the Hole Tool Terminology in Traditional Chinese
As an educator using Onshape in the classroom, I’ve noticed a critical translation error in the Hole Tool that leads to student confusion: Currently, the terms for Counterbore and Countersink are mistranslated or swapped in the Traditional Chinese interface. Counterbore (Flat-bottomed hole) should be 沉頭孔. Countersink…

Select chain of sketch entities / Select closed loop
Hello: I want to select the highlighted sketch lines pictured below so I can convert them to non-construction lines (with the hotkey Q). In SOLIDWORKs, you could right-click any line segment and choose "Select Chain", which would highlight all the attached sketch entities. I had to manually hunt and peck each line to get…

creating an ISO or ANSI thread is easy. However, how can I create very wide pitch without depth.
I want a "spiral" thread. One or two turns to move the nut 10mm. Example use: twist top on a jar or bottle. I guess it would be the same as creating a thread for a screw rather than a bolt.

How to scale a sketch parametrically?
Hi all, I am making a simple jewelry box, with the outline of a rose flower debossed into the lid. I created the sketch of the rose in Inkspape, and then imported the resulting .DXF into onshape. The sketch is very complex, lots of curves and vertices. I know that when you open a sketch, and it has no dimensions, that if…

New FeatureScript - 4D fold (Foldin'-the-box)
Link first This feature is inspired from Hackaday post by Arya Voronova that showcase some really cool ways to make complex parts with support-less additive manufacturing. Its original intent is to target additive manufacturing, but there's likely more use cases, as @elijahpekaar pointed out. The idea for an Onshape…

Printable Counterbore FeatureScript
This is my first time trying out creating a FeatureScript. It's all vibe-coded but works pretty well after some tweaks. It takes ideas from https://www.baysingersadditivemanufacturing.com/design-floating-holes/ and https://blog.rahix.de/design-for-3d-printing/ for how to modify counterbore holes to better handle floating…

Am I just an retard? or is feature script impossible..
So what I have been attempting to do, for the 10th time now... Is create a slot (as shown in the top left corner of the sketch) on each selected point. This is still my first "from scratch" feature script. but I can never get past the first step... creating a sketch on a plane... I've learned a dozen other languages…
