How can I flatten this surface? | Could not flatten faces
I am trying to flatten the surface shown below which is the cavity of a composite mold. I did it successfully before by removing the features in the middle which are not highlighted however our team has requested that the material be cutout. I have attached the model and a screen recording of the flatten surface attempt in…

Is it possible to use feature script to quickly export mass property values for assemblies?
Hi all, Still learning about feature script but I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience using Feature Script to export/output data (specifically mass property values like mass, center of mass, and moment of inertias) into either the command line or ideally into a txt file for an entire assembly. This action would…

First day with Onshape, I need a actual BSP thread, G1 for a 3d printed plug
Good afternoon all My first day with Onshape, and i saw someone else had the exact same question issue, but a few years back. I want to model and cut not virtual , a 1" BSP external straight pipe thread, Or 1"x11 TPI, or i think a G1 thread. Why is this so hard, my other CAD program would not do this either. I have read…

Why is the helix sketch still visible
Hey! so I'm new to learning CAD and started using Onshape. I was following a tutorial on how to make screw by this channel: I followed it to the end but when i tried to soften the screw like said in the video, my helix pattern was still visible contrary to the video. why dies this happen and how do i fix it?

how to make a dxf imported file usable
I converted an image into a dxf file (the silouette of a truck) and imported in Onshape. The doc available below. WHen I open the sketch, all the lines are actually made of many shorter segments. My goal is to 3d print this as a flat keychain-type model, in multicolor (it's a surprise for my son's "new" 1989 f150). I…

How to use SliderMate?
I am brand new to learning CAD, so please take it easy on me! I've been messing around with various shapes as I'm learning OnShape, and came up with two separate parts; one with a male and one with a female dovetail extrusion, the idea being I can get the parts to slide past each other along this rail. Problem is, no…

dimension arrows only showing internal - new user
Hi sorry if this question has been aske before but, when using sketches and applying the dimensions my dimension tool only seems to create arrows internally ←10—> not > ←-10. I'm pretty sure it did this when I started the tutorials etc. but I can't seem to get it to work what am I missing?

What does "Retrieving Data for 1 Body" mean, and why does it keep slowing my assembly?
We are having this pop up intermittently, yet often, and severely slowing down our assembly. Suppressing various subassemblies seem to have no effect on it. How do we find out what is causing this? It will randomly show up even after the assembly is loaded.

"2" text in Didact Gothic font cannot be extruded from a face as it creates a boolean error
I am trying to extrude some text up from a face for a bunch of labels. Once I got to using the number 2 it stopped working and is highlighting a square on the right hand side of the 2. If I deselect the 2 shape from the extrude then it works fine and all the other labels I've done so far have worked fine. If I make the 2…

Document Tree, like one would find in a family tree. Is there such a thing?
I'd like to see a tree showing the top level document parts and what led to them and all the way to the original part when derived in a document. For a derived part it would be nice to see the source and the derived tree to the original part. I often will have a base part that is tailored along the way up to the final use.…

Tolerance for Boolean Add Along Surface Edges?
Is there an accepted way to compare two surface edges to see if they are within tolerance for a boolean add operation? I'm trying to create an approximate offset curve along a surface - within tolerance - so it can be used for trimming and other operations. In this image the input curve is an isoparam (degree-3) and the…

Centering image on face
Hey! Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I'm just starting out and I'm stumped. I just created a sketch that puts an image on a face and now I want to do the same on all 4 sides of my object, but for some reason I can't do it on the other sides. I'm trying to create a vertical line in the middle of my sketch (which I…

HELP! How do I trim a surface with a sketch?
So frustrated, have tried split and extrude but cannot seem to trim away this cylinder with rectangle sketch. Its a test so just want to trim off the top and bottom parts of the cylinder. SolidWorks is Extrude Cut, then choose what to keep, what is the Onshape equivalent?

First FeatureScript 🎉 “Braille Surface Text” + quick licensing/LLM question
Hey all - my first FS (with basicly no coding experience) and I’m pretty excited! I built it with Gemini 3 Pro in 2–3 hours but had to fiddle around quite a bit to get the dots working on spheres. It places Braille-dots on curved surfaces to support accessibility to all kinds of objects. BRAILLE SURFACE TEXT :…

Why do I get non-manifold edges simply by doing a transform/rotate and how do I fix it?
Hi, I'm new here. I tried searching the forums for similar issues, but could not find any topic related to non-manifold when doing a rotate. So I have a model, which works fine as it is and has no issues. I wanted to export it at an angled position, so it's easier to print this way, so I added a transform/rotate step. But…

FeatureScript Standard Library Visualizer

Schedule Assignments feature request
Currently, when creating assignment's it is left in a Draft state untill [Publish assignment] is selected. I believe it would be useful to be able to schedule the assignment with a Date and Time picker. The Picker should include NOW, or Date and time With that, a Close assignment scheduler would also be helpful. Like the…
