How to prompt update of featurescript version in a workspace?
Onshape rocks, but this seems strange. I'm prevented from merging a Part Studio from an "old" version in a document into my currently active workspace in that same document because the old version is newer than the current workspace. If I make a new document and add a Feature Studio, I get "FeatureScript 2945;" (that might…

Reference Guide or Documentation for FeatureScript Docs Comments?
Does official documentation exist for the docs comment syntax in FeatureScript? These are the comments that start with "/**" and generate the popups that appear when hovering over a function or type. I have been able to figure out a few things from the std source as well as trial and error but searching for real…

Reverse Engineering Shape with Surface Modeling
I have this shape that I want to reverse engineer , im not very great at surface modeling and its giving me headaches I tried doing a loft extrude and thinking I would cut the excess material on top with some kind of surfaces but I can find a way to do it properly. Please guide me for the best way to reverse engineer this…

Knit surfaces without removing splits (to keep colors)
Background: So I have an existing feature to create "graphics" by removing solid bodies from a base and compositing everything together, it's limited to planar faces. This works fine for most purpose but in cases where we want to export a DXF we end up with "doubled up" contours. One of the reason we don't like using…

BOM sorting with unexpected results
I have a flattened BOM with everything sorted by the Part Number column from smallest to largest. Some of the parts, mostly Standard Content fasteners, do not have a part number assigned and they show up empty in the BOM as expected. However, when I sort by part number, some of the empty cells are at the top, and the rest…

REST API - Exporting a part to STEP works, but exporting to DXF does not
Hello there ! :D I'm trying to export my sheet metal part using the REST API, exporting it to a STEP file works fine using the following method : * Initiate the exporting procedure using /api/v6/assemblies/d/{}/w/{}/e/{}/translations and inputing STEP as formatName * Wait for the /api/v8/translations/{requestId}…

Custom Feature: Bip Joints - A Hand Bendable Sheet Metal Joint Feature
-Link to feature up front- If you're a producer of sheet metal parts, or design your parts for sheet metal production, there's a strong possibility that your manufacturing pipeline is catered towards hard flat flanges with edges parallel to the bends because that's what the manufacturing process favors. This manufacturing…

How to get URDF export to include composite parts?
I have a cart assembly which I'd like to export as a URDF. Most of the parts are imported from the extrusion-maker's STEP files. I imported some of the complex components, like the wheels/casters on the bottom, as composite parts. My assembly just mates many of these composite parts + assorted other parts. But these…

Changing the numbers in a list in a drawing note
Hi all. I remember in a recent Onshape update (but can't remember which) we got the ability to manually adjust the numbering of lists in note on Drawings, but I cannot recall how to do it. I tried looking in Help, and the AI advisor offered the following; "In Onshape, you can easily modify numbered lists in notes by…

Have I understood the document / part hierarchy correctly?
I'm about to start drawing up a CNC machine I've been planning for a very long time. I designed it originally (many years ago) in SolidWorks but I no longer have access to that software so I'm redrawing it in OnShape. I would like to check I'm approaching this in the correct way. As I understand it a Document is…

Is it possible to duplicate tapped holes when mirroring a part?
I'm fairly new to OnShape and CAD in general so please excuse me if I use the wrong terms. I'm building a CNC machine, the image below shows the gantry.

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…

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.
