Can't select edge in Chrome
Trying out OnShape. A bit frustrated with basic functionality only to realise it's a bug. Edge selection does not work on Google Chrome. Seems ok on Firefox. Rendering is all wonky too. Here's the document to test on (i'll leave it as it's shown in the video)…

Help with joining two pipes into one
I'm trying to join two pipe inlets into a single outlet, which I've done (I think) as a solid using Sweep. They have joined, I have used a Boolean Union to join all the parts into one and I feel all appears okay. I now plan to Shell out the whole pipe arrangement, however this is where I am stuck. When I attempt to Shell I…

Circular pattern not working
I have been having issues with circular patterns. I am trying to create a modular cylinder that uses a twist snap connection. I did some test prints with a different file that I was able to create the revolve 1 and revolve 2 and extrude 3 features and then circular pattern them 4 times across the full 360 degrees. However…

How do i fill this part?
I have created a multi faced object that, as far as i can tell, is completely enclosed (all edges meet other edges). I created it by making planes and adding sketches and using the "use" line and then adding additional lines to the plane as necessary. I realize that maybe i should have started with a base shape then…

Creating a feature script to mark bends
Hi, Can someone please help me create a feature script to mark bends when the part is flattened? So basically what I want to do is select the points on each end of the bend lines and have it snap a circle sketch to each point selected. Also instead of having to define the diameter of every single one of them with the…

Start of a new feature: "Rotate To"
Writing this on mobile, so it's a short post, but wanted to share a simple tool I wrote this morning. Rotate To will rotate selected bodies around a selected axis FROM a line or planar entity TO another line or planar entity. Or will rotate so as to align two axis which are both parallel to the rotation axis (such as holes…

how do I export a drawing to have it cut.
tried the instructions in AI and can't find a "export" tab. Trying to test cut with a plasma table. Im pretty ignorant as far as CAD goes. But I follow instructions pretty good. thx Doug

Exporting nested 2D sketches in single DXF for manufacturing?
Hello, i need to export a nested 2D DXF of several nested sketches(essentially a flat pattern) for manufacturing(cutting), parts(solids) or 3D files are no good, i have made a sketch of my part and used featurescript auto layout but auto layout only works in parts so i had to extrude the part into a sketch now i have a…

The "Export DWG/DXF" option has been removed for student accounts?
I've been using OnShape for some of my classes to create DXF files for my laser engraver as part of a manufacturing unit. Last year this was available, but when I went to have students do this again today, the option to export from a sketch no longer seems to be there for them. It is there for me on their assignments. Is…

Export 2.5D DXF?
How, if you can in OS, do you export a DXF that is 2.5D? I've attached an example. Vendors request DXFs of this item, in SW I can export a dxf from a view and Bob's your uncle. The only way I've been able to do that here, is by adding it to a drawing. Which is very clunky as far as user and vendor experience go.

Planar surface DXF export misses features
Hi, I have a model with some fairly complex geometry. If I select a planar face and use the 'export to DXF / DWG' option to build a DXF file for our laser cutter the resultant file has a lot of line segments which are either in the wrong place or are missing entirely. Some faces export okay, some are completely broken with…

DXF export to Retina Engrave
Hello all, I have searched and found a couple of posts but no real answer to my issue. Problem: When I run my laser cutter the lines are not connected and the laser cuts lines individually jumping around rather than cutting them as if they are joined. What I've tried: I have tried exporting by right clicking the sketch on…

export DXF from Oneshape Drawing
Hello,we have a problem exporting DXT from drawings for laser cutting. We use Release 11-12 for DXF export because the DXF file is the smallest of all other releases. But when we want to hide some edges in the onshape drawing (holes or chamfers or something else), those edges still show up in the dxf file. The drawing…

Problem with modeling non-symmetrical teeth using Chamfer and Circular pattern
Hi everyone, I’m having trouble modeling teeth along the edge of a metal plate for my project. I sketched a circular pattern line (top of the tooth – bottom of the tooth - top of the tooth and so on), but every time I try to use the Chamfer function, the geometry overlaps with the adjacent part (as shown in the photos).…

Batch Engraving Different Logos on the Same Part
Hi everyone, I’m working on a project where I need to engrave the same box divider part with multiple different logos. The goal is to create identical parts, each with a different logo applied. All the logos have the same bounding dimensions, and their placement on the part will be consistent. Is there a way to automate…

Sketches won't loft
I am trying to get the two faces in my document to loft be each time I try the inner profile just goes red. No idea how to fix this, would really appreciate some help. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a029e4e0f14f06e8c8efb638/w/5c0b632cb8f6c2a9d3d007c4/e/e7762b37295653af6d83ecfc

Is there a Featurescript for finding and replacing certain dimensions.
I have sketched several dozen and I need to do it without going through all individually. I thought I saw a video for onshape that used this 'script.

I am trying to place an Expl. Mate Conn. into both parts to facilitate placement into an Assembly.
The part shown below is located on a conic surface. I have a square pin on the Gray part ( aka Manway ) to mate with the corresponding square hole in the Green part in order for alignment purposes. I understand how on a flat surface with a defined center, but not on a curved surface. Hopefully I am describing it OK.

Same material across all configurations
As an exercise I'm creating a configurable fastener to which i'm tring to attach a material, finish and part number from a catalogue I use regularly. I have discovered that assiging a material only applies to that unique configuration. Of course I want all configurations to be the same material. Perhaps there's an order of…

Using the hole table in a drawing of a composite part
I am currently drawing up plans for a new balcony, which includes drawings of two composite parts that also have a number of holes in them. In order to keep the drawing somewhat tidy, I'd like to use a hole table, however it seems like this is not possible with composite parts(?). In the part studio, all the holes are…

Is there a way to edit or delete a "version"?
When I was introduced to the "version" system, I assumed it would behave somewhat like the SolidWorks Configuration system - as in one could have an assortment of versions that belong in different assemblies. This would also explain why a version of a document is required to insert a part into an assembly. However, the…

How to find what is "not fully defined" in a sketch the is all black with no blue dots
Every so often I end up with a sketch that is not fully defined with no blue showing. The normal problem is that the undefined point is under a defined point. The only way that I have found to find the undefined point is to remove constraints to move the existing lines until I can find the actual problem. Is there a way to…

Feature pattern with relative positions
Hi, I wondered if something like this is possible: say you have a "linear" pattern, but instead of setting the distance (and direction), I can simply select a face or mate connector where that same feature should be applied. Maybe even a list. To give an idea, in following part studio, in folder "Elastiek houders", I have…
