Student document issues.
I am tearing my hair out (and there isn't much to tear out). Students seem to default to my "Mr Knox" folder as the default working folder. They create a document that the entire class can see and then have access to. Students are then working, changing, and submitting a document that isn't their personal document. Yes,…

Classroom Assignments - Restrict Sharing but enable drawing export?
I have set up an assignment so that students are unable to share their documents to help prevent plagiarism. I want them to export the drawings as PDF, but the option is not there. I assume this is because the of the assignment share permissions. Is there a way around this?

Something to be aware of- Issues with students changing documents
I've been using the classes and mostly love the ability to have students submit assignments through the system. I've been having a couple of issues and I'm not sure of the solution. When I create an assignment using one of the Onshape lessons, I copy it to my documents. The issue is that by default it puts them into the…

Brand Noob to CAD.
Hello, I really believe I want to make CAD a skill. I need to learn the core items/tools/basic so I can make this a useful tool. If I want to learn the core/basic of CAD, where can I find the functions and its use and non use along with the prerequisites or using these functions? If you will, the boring humble beginnings?

Phantom sketches! SCARY
Anybody else seeing phantom sketches from different document? The sketch in blue below is from a completely different document. Can't select it, it's just floating there. The two documents are not related at all. So, I thought maybe it's just some sort of graphics glitch. I'll close that doc and open another one to clear…

Multi-mate Connector - Allow Construction Lines for Path
Unlike the native mate connector tool construction lines are not currently selectable for the path argument. It's a minor inconvenience with a simple workaround but would be nice to have it consistent.

Certificate Gone
3 years ago i took the certified on shape associate exam and passed, i no longer have access to the email that was associated since i have graduated from my highschool and it was delted after, but was still able to log into my onshape account. I checked to see if i can still access my certificate just for it to not be on…

Pattern of sketches containing text with increasing values
I am trying to create a circular pattern of (embossed) text on a surface, with each instance displaying a different value in increasing order. A simple example would be a clock with hours values increasing around the dial. My final project will have much more than 12 values but the dial will serve here as an illustration…

Can't select edges with tool, only vertices
Fresh sketch in part studio, no matter the shape; rectangle, multiple lines, polygon, none of my tools can select edges. Even if I right click and use the custom selection, it only registers the edges if I then drag a box around all the edges I want, which surely is not the intended way of doing things, right? (Because I…

Linear interpolation in a Variable Table
I am new to Onshape and fairly new to CAD in general. I have two problems for which I have not found a solution after looking everywhere. The first problems is this: can I define a new variable that uses a linear interpolation function such as lerp(a, b, f). a, b, and f are previously defined. Obviously, I don't quite…

skArc/Constraint syntax and radius calculation error
Hi! So I'm trying to create a custom feature and i've found a problem where i try to create an arc using 'skArc' and later define it using 'skConstraint' with '"constraintType" : ConstraintType.RADIUS' but while the original points defined in "start" and "end" are correct in the part studio the "mid" point and therefore…

toString in Description?
I'm trying to give a tooltip for a UI parameter using the description and I'd like it to show the range. I know if I enter a value outside of the boundsRange it will show the range automatically, but it would be nice to have some hint of what that range is without guessing. It seems like creating a const or inlining the…

Configurations Question
I'm designing a box that will hold a small electronics project, basically just an arduino nano type board and a battery, plus some surface features: a hole for a switch, a hole for USB, mounting pegs for the board, etc. I designed two different versions of this for two different boards. One uses USB C, the other mini USB,…

How do I set printer margin when printing a drawing?
I recently got portable thermal printer. but it doesn't seem to support margine-less printing. It always prints it smaller and I need to print documents in 1:1 scale. There is printer shop near my house, so I compared output from there and found out that my printer always puts about 4mm of margin. The white space around…

I am attempting to do an assembly...
1] I am attempting to do an assembly (for the dozenth time), but I have changed the imported part to Boolean all the parts and gave it a new version. After importing it into the Assembly the part imports with some of the changes, but not as the Boolean part. I have done this again with yet another version and yet doing the…

Custom Feature: One Face Loft
Hi all, I worked up a feature script using AI and grit (lol) to apply lofts to faces using a single face. It allows you to loft to a single point, a radius, a custom face, or even a flattened version of the same face. Not sure how useful it is to most, but I often make 3d print items where I'd like to loft surfaces for 3d…

Can't figure out CANNOT_RESOLVE_ENTITIES from opBoolean
I've been going through the FeatureScript Fundamentals course in the learning system, and I'm on the final exercise. I'm getting a CANNOT_RESOLVE_ENTITIES from a opBoolean call, and I can't figure out what going wrong. I've more than triple checked my code against what's provided in the instructions, and I've added debug…

Issue Assigning Value to Company Custom Property
I attempted to create a feature script, and when trying to use it, am getting regeneration errors. Our company uses mechanical cables. For these mechanical cable parts, I want a 'Cut Length' property. These parts are modelled using sweeps, and I want the cut length value to be linked to the sketch entities used as the…

What is the best organization of my project? A single Part Studios and multiple Assembly tabs?
I’m still very new to 3d modeling and ONSHAPE, but I’m learning quickly. Right now I have two completely separate projects to build two different versions of a V8 engine intake manifold, but I want to re-organize this to have only one set of documents but two different outcomes. After a lot of thought, I think the right…

is there a way to know in FS if the tolerant dimension is active?
I've started implementing the UIHint_CAN_BE_TOLERANT in my relevant custom features. one of them is the makeRadius FS wich can set a cylinder or conical surface at a certain radius. if it is a conical surface, my edit logic will add a required query for an edge to measure and set the radius at. I believe only cylindrical…

Suggestions on a better way
New to onshape and struggling with getting some ribs on the surface of this part. I expect there are much better ways to create the shape and / or to add the surface wrap of complex curved faces. I am open to hearing all of your advice for making something like this a better simpler model. Really hope I got the link right…
