Tangent line, selection of geometry to define tangency
When I try to add a tangent line to a pair of sketch lines at a corner, sometimes the tangent line is based off the correct line, sometimes it is not. How do we determine which line a tangent line will align to when there are multiple choices?

BOM Keeps Clearing Data - I Must Be Doing Something Wrong
I'm designing copper piping for my new heat pump hot water system. I have a document that contains many copper parts and a few assemblies. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/76dbbe3d8db7912a08854fb8/w/dc2e464bbb3ab8daa758fa62/e/7ddaa0e3f5abcaadb31ac88f I also have a document that contains the steel tank and the garage wall…

New FeatureScript: Engineering Grid
Hi everyone, So I made my own ISO grid featurescript. I tried out the other two feature scripts that can create isogrid patterns, and I found that Julia's is fast but rudimentary, and Evan Reese's is immensely powerful but slightly slower than I would like, and is missing a couple of features I wanted. Of course, the next…

simple loft the wing profiles
Hi, learning Onshape for a month or so, Im trying to loft between two identical wing shapes, spline with over 100 points. I did split to upper and lower part as suggested. Those wing profiles are identical and on the same axis, only offseted on X. The loft is rough and doesnt match the spline. I started to make offset…

Title: Feature Request: Native Bend/Curve Tool for Solid Bodies (Alternative to Sweep) Body: Hello, I’m currently designing curved objects like rails/tracks, and I’ve run into a limitation in Onshape’s workflow. Right now, the only reliable method to create curved geometry is using Sweep with a predefined path and profile.…

GitHub standard library mirror
Well I got annoyed one too many times at trying to track down when a feature was introduced to the standard library and decided to make an auto-updating mirror of std on GitHub. And so, without further ado, I present to you....... https://github.com/javawizard/onshape-std-library-mirror! It's pretty much what you'd expect:…

turning a function into a sketch line
I was wondering if it is possible to take a function such as y=u/x^2 into an a sketch line. the reason being is i would like to create a 3d hill sphere. with revolves i would only need one side of it so y=u/x^2 (0,inf)

Making a bend for an extruded object
I made this model and would like to bend it for 45 and 90 degrees left or right. Is there a way to bend an extruded part similar to what the loft functions do? Thank you in advance!

Help with a loft please.
Hi, I really don't get the concepts of lofts mostly! As soon as they get a bit complex I spend days trying to figure out what went wrong! This time, I'm only a day in so thought I would put up my hand. I am working on a measured drawing of an historical boat model from the original (shipwright's) loft. I effectively have a…

Can I use dimension as label in a drawing?
I want to user onshape to make a generalized drawing of my product. I want to display the dimension as label for reference in another design document. I can't seem to find the way to completely remove the numerical value from the dimension. I would like it to only show the label such as : "A", "B", "C", etc. Right now, I…

Asymmetric Revolve?
Part of my problem is I'm pretty sure I'm going about this wrong but I'm not sure what I need to search for to get on the right track. I'm trying to create a ribbed cylinder (soft plastic fishing lure if you're familiar) but instead of having the ribs symmetric all the way around, I want them taller on one "side" and then…

How to Revolve, can't select the axis
Learning Onshare on Android phone. I can extrude, easy. But I can't figure how to revolve. On front plane normal, I sketch a line and rectangle, then select the rectangle as region to revolve, and then click on the line as an axis but the message says another region selected and then asks to select axis again. I'm baffled.

Changing hole depth drops/changes merge scope
I came across this very odd behavior that feels a lot like a bug so I setup a little test case (see Lighting | Part Studio 2). Simple rectangular extruded part with a thru Hole and a slightly larger concentric partial depth Hole. When I edit the partial depth hole and change the depth, the Merge scope is changed. In the…

Dimension an angle at drawing mode without a horizontal line as reference
How to dimension an angle in drawing mode without a horizontal line as reference? Imagine if I have an inclined line only (not a second line). At SolidWorks, I click the line and click at the end point of this line and click at one of 4 options of arrows (2 horizontals and 2 verticals) as reference to insert an angle. Can…

Custom BOM showing only some parts of an assembly

EXPORT ASSEMBLY IN POSITION AND AS ONE PART
So I made an assembly of a "sphere" made out of pentagons and hexagons by mating their faces but when I try to export the assembly (as STP or parasolid) all the parts are separated and in their original position (not mated). The only way I found to keep the assembly arrangement is to export it as STL but I need this part…
