Move sub-assembly or part in an assembly
New Onshape user here. I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be so simple. I have a small assembly that I've just inserted into a new empty assembly. Just getting a feel for things, I see I can freely click to move the sub-assembly in space. So then I want to move it so that a particular vertex in the…

Parametric curve FS by Mahir
I just recently learned about this feature script and used it to create some spur gears, and it worked great. Now I'm trying to create a parametric curve to make a cycloid gear, the equation I've created a dummy variable t, set it equal to 1, and then inserted a parameter t afterwards, but I keep getting an error code…

When opening an assembly that a previous employee at created, most of the contents are missing. Why?
When I open an assembly that a privous colegue at created, the contents of the assembly are mostly missing (as compared to the thumbnail screenshot). Another team member is able to open the assembly and see the correct contents. Is there some sort of hidden permissions system that is preventing me from opening the entire…

Tool: Use
I'm running into a mental block regarding the "Use" tool. I can follow a specific example and get it to work, but for some reason can't figure out why it is failing when I try to apply it to a small part I'm trying to recreate. Basically, the issues is following a specific youtube video for Fusion. Everthing works up to…

Why isn't the coincident constraint working right?
Applied a coincident constraint from this construction line to a spline, yet it created this micro gap which I didn't notice until I really looked. This later caused issues for me when I went to make a projected curve and the shape not filling in properly as its not an enclosed loop. The sketch is entirely fixed, no points…

Frame trim
I have a grid of frames Without having to draw each segment separately I thought I could use the frame trim. this won’t work as it wont remove the intersections and keep both sides sketch and extrude then won’t allow the parts to fill into a cut list as it can’t determine the ends. Is there an easier or quicker way to do…

Why doesn't the documents creators name follow along with copies - or copies of copies?
This topic may be for the devs or maybe even a ticket item (but here goes) - And before we start, I understand about public doc's on a free account, (and I completely agree with all the terms). But still wonder why the originator of a document isn't tagged to the first version label on the copy, along with the name of the…

Configurations & if Statements
Hi, I am coming from Solidworks and i would have normally put a simple if statement in the dimensions to get the desired result but that is not the case in onshape. I have a model of a pin and a hole. Currently the pin has a variable of #PinD and basically I want to incorporate the following if statement for the hole If…

A problem getting transform in part studio to produce anything
Hello Folks, the question says it all. I don’t know what I’m missing, but I’ve get about 12 hours into trying any and every combination of modes and entities to configure the function, and not one single combination has generated any output. I simply cannot believe that the function is flat dead, it’s just way too…

we need the CAM studio
Hello team The CAM Studio is an amazing addition which I was waiting for. But sadly, it is not for educators and students yet. I am now in a situation for which I really need to do 3D and even 4D CAM processing, but I struggled finding something I can use. My faculty is pushing me to buy a license for Fusion 360 because it…

How to fix a project that locked up and can't load
I was whipping up a quick project. I made a bolt but didn't have the correct thread pitch. Once I got the pitch I went back to edit the helix. I think I should have edited the thread shape first because after changing the helix it locked up the project. I have tried refreshing multiple times, and closed-reopened the…

Custom Feature: Design Intent
Link to Design Intent During design reviews I am often asking or being questioned as to why a model was formed the way it was. Usually the answer is in someone's head or personal notes and lacking from any formal documentation. If it is in documentation, then it is likely far from the CAD (unless you keep that in Onshape…

Anyone already wrote a feature script for "slotted bending" (sheet metal)?
Hey, I am currently trying to write a quick feature script to transform a sheet metal bend corner into a "slotted bend" (like described nicely over at Hackaday a while back: https://hackaday.com/2016/05/18/the-art-and-science-of-bending-sheet-metal/ ). This can already be easily done manually by drawing a sketch with a…

revolute mate / tangent mate interactions
Hello everyone, I am trying to simulate a pretty basic engine mechanic, but I got met with this: If someone knows why the mate reacts in such a way, it would be helpful. 🙏 I wish to use the "Revolute mate" so I can use the "Animate" to simulate it's movement.

Who created Spur Gear? I made it faster.
Spur Gear is great, but can er very slow for large complex gears. We have been using it to make curved rack and pinion sections and it means making a gear with hundreds of teeth and then chopping it down. Taking inspiration from Performant Part Pattern, I made the hundreds of boolean operations recursive (pattern, boolean,…
