Is there a Featurescript for finding and replacing certain dimensions.
I have sketched several dozen and I need to do it without going through all individually. I thought I saw a video for onshape that used this 'script.

I am trying to place an Expl. Mate Conn. into both parts to facilitate placement into an Assembly.
The part shown below is located on a conic surface. I have a square pin on the Gray part ( aka Manway ) to mate with the corresponding square hole in the Green part in order for alignment purposes. I understand how on a flat surface with a defined center, but not on a curved surface. Hopefully I am describing it OK.

Same material across all configurations
As an exercise I'm creating a configurable fastener to which i'm tring to attach a material, finish and part number from a catalogue I use regularly. I have discovered that assiging a material only applies to that unique configuration. Of course I want all configurations to be the same material. Perhaps there's an order of…

Using the hole table in a drawing of a composite part
I am currently drawing up plans for a new balcony, which includes drawings of two composite parts that also have a number of holes in them. In order to keep the drawing somewhat tidy, I'd like to use a hole table, however it seems like this is not possible with composite parts(?). In the part studio, all the holes are…

Is there a way to edit or delete a "version"?
When I was introduced to the "version" system, I assumed it would behave somewhat like the SolidWorks Configuration system - as in one could have an assortment of versions that belong in different assemblies. This would also explain why a version of a document is required to insert a part into an assembly. However, the…

How to find what is "not fully defined" in a sketch the is all black with no blue dots
Every so often I end up with a sketch that is not fully defined with no blue showing. The normal problem is that the undefined point is under a defined point. The only way that I have found to find the undefined point is to remove constraints to move the existing lines until I can find the actual problem. Is there a way to…

Feature pattern with relative positions
Hi, I wondered if something like this is possible: say you have a "linear" pattern, but instead of setting the distance (and direction), I can simply select a face or mate connector where that same feature should be applied. Maybe even a list. To give an idea, in following part studio, in folder "Elastiek houders", I have…

Why can't I delete an imported DXF?
I'm playing around with creating my own document template, following the procedure in Best Practices for Creating Onshape Drawing Templates - Onshape Learning Center. An imported DXF appears as a tab at the bottom of the document, like a part or drawing would. This is the only type of tab I've seen that does not have a…

Why can't Onshape read the PMI data in STEP AP242 files?
Hello everyone, MBD annotations can be exported in STEP AP242 format. We tested this by importing the exported file into PTC Creo. All annotations created in MBD were included. It also worked with SolidWorks. However, when we tried the reverse process with Onshape, the MBD annotations were not included. We also tested the…
