I have tried this with different methods but every time i end up with just one thread on one end, i have not figured out how to keep thread on both ends

I need to make two versions of all of my assembly drawings, each with different formatting for the callout balloons. Unfortunately, you can't select multiple balloons and edit them simultaneously. However, you used to be able to insert a balloon with the desired formatting on top of the old balloon, and it would replace…

Is there a way to have a Vertical text box with horizontal letters, without doing each letter separately?

Preciso desenhar um cubo, uma das faces terá um ângulo de 16º onde faço no esboço e já faço a extrusão. O problema vem agora, as duas faces laterais tem simetricamente um ângulo 55º. Parece fácil mas não estou conseguindo, aguém me ajuda?

New registration requires students to enter their D.O.B, then as they're under 13, it tells them to get consent under COPPA. I can't add them via email in the Class as it says under 13's need consent from parents. Is there a work around for this, the PTC Privacy Statement says schools can approve usage of under 13s if "a…

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…

Hello folks I wander if anyone have successfully practiced modeling this sheet metal feature in Onshape:

Hi, I've added a number of students to my Enterprise and a couple have been unable to sign in using the single sign in. They're getting an invalid login details message then a sign in attempt throttled / recaptcha message. I've tried removing them and sending a new request and a number of different browsers / phone.

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…

Hi All, I am having trouble getting a line to work as a revolve axis. I have created an initial sketch with a circle and need to update it to an ellipse so I've create a new drawing on the same sketch and planned on simply changing the revolves I created with the circle. However, when I go to select the revolve axis on the…

What kind of format must it be? I have tried DXF, DWG, SVG, PNG, nothing seems to work.

Other than copying and pasting it, can I place multi line text in a drawing table cell?

The initial part created via a sweep and im looking to create a fork in this part (where the example part is), so that there are no walls in the channels where the part would join…. that a marble could roll in any direction. (Couldn't think of a better way to describe) I can create a 'Y' junction at the top easy enough by…

Hi, I am new to onshape, i am trying to make a headstock for a guitar via surfaces, I cant seem to enclose the surfaces properly. any advice would be appreciated. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/0283578c249715d519dbf67f/w/f7875a48f15e87ec3792f3ec/e/c9f54a9ceef98bb47f05d338?renderMode=0&uiState=69d901b55e88b223baa77a52

Hi guys, Coming from SpaceClaim realm, I am so used to the "Up To" feature, where I move the "triade"'s center to a face of the to-be-moved object, then I hit the "Up To" button, then click on the "triade's" arrow corresponding to the axis I want to constrain the movement to and then I click the destination face and the…

Set Property (New Custom Feature!) Set Property allows you to: * Dynamically set the properties of your part or multiple parts. * Set custom properties. Tips: * Custom property ID's are found in your company settings. * Right click on any value input to convert it to expression. This means you can use variables to drive…

Hello, I am stuck in my workflow. I made a thread on a cylinder circumsferance. Trying to distribute it around the cylinder, I am not able to address the thread. My design is at the public area under "Lager" by Georg Prinz. I have no Idea how to insert it into this forum. As a absolutely beginner I need help by your…

Hello, i have a door frame with hinges 497.5 mm away from the edge. When i create a drawing and show the distance of the hinge, Onshape shows 351mm. What am i doing wrong?

Hi, to select regions that are hidden by solid geometry by pressing "~"-key on a german keyboard does not work. How can I sucseed? George

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?

I just took the certification test again and passed with a 91% because my last name changed recently. For some reason, it won't show the certificate in the certification tab on my dashboard. Instead, it still shows itself in the "My Learning" tab. How do I fix this? (edit: the (1) on the "Certifications" tab is an old…

Simple problem: Ever since the most recent update my Spacemouse Pro has stopped interacting with Onshape. I don't know which side is the cause here, firmware or Onshape, but if this is a known issue from anyone else I would love some feedback from the dev team. 

On Thursday, 12/12/19, I hosted a webinar to talk about mold design methodologies in Onshape and to introduce 4 new custom features. The replay of the webinar can be found here. As the names suggest, these custom features automate the creation of core and cavity geometry. A number of Onshape users have already beta-tested…

Has it been another 3 weeks? This update brings a focused set of refinements across CAD, Model-Based Definition, Render Studio and Mobile, delivering greater precision, clarity, and creative control across Onshape workflows. Let's jump right in. CAD URDF EXPORT Onshape exports natively to the Unified Robot Description…

Hello! I am trying to make a configurable grid. I have a single cell designed up and have configurations controlling the length and width. The grid can be 1x1 up to 6x6. I am trying to change the configurations of the corner instances to a configuration of the base cell with a rounded corner. I am also trying to add a…

Hi, I am just taking the introduction course to see if Onshape can be of use for our company. I notice that my space mouse is only zooming in and out and has some delays before the parts react. Rotation or moving sideways does not seem to work with Onshape. Need to use the keyboard/mouse combination. As…

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…

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…

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…
