Can custom tables work like Cutlist?
I'm making a custom table that is created by a custom feature that is similar to Cutlist. The tables it produces are associated with parts in the part studio. However, when I go to insert it into the drawing, unlike Cutlist tables, which are inserted by choosing the composite part they create, it seems like I can only…

string formatting in FS?
I'm used to Python's string formatting, where I can insert variables into a longer string and the result is concatenated automatically. Is there anything similar in FS? In the example below, look how much more readable the Python example is. Python: "Hello, my name is %s and I like to eat %s on %s." % (name, food,…

How to shell airfoil shape
Hi there, I'm trying to shell an airfoil shape, but it's forcing me to go to very low thickness - it errors when it gets too high. I have also tried offsetting faces and recreating the shape but smaller using profile offsets, but none of these methods work.…

Part Numbers but make them words
I recently wrote a blog article about "Smart" Part numbers and how they tend to create more problems than they solve. At the end of the article I included some other "fun" options for part numbers. One of the ideas was inspired by What3Words - what if the part number was a combination of 3 random words? Some commentors…

Sketch could not be solved - why?
I'm trying to do a very simple sketch: Now I connect the top of the 10 mm line with the top of the 3 mm line with a straight line (line tool): When I just hit enter to accept the 40,608 mm length, I get a 'Sketch could not be solved' message: Why is that so? If I now hit the 'undo' button, everything turns black again and…

How can I add a draft angle to this complex shape?
Hi, I'm very, very new to CAD. I'm a chocolate maker trying to design my own tools for vacuum formed chocolate molds. Right now, I'm struggling to add draft angles to my shapes. I finally figured out how to import the image, trace it and extrude it, but following the advice from the AI (to copy the sketch, enlarge it and…

Availability of tutorials
I'm an intermittent user of Onshape, and I've previously relied heavily on the tutorials to help me figure out specific functionality (linear patterns and lofting come to mind as examples). I'm now having a difficult time finding the tutorials I previously used to learn these. Are they still around, and if so, how do I get…

accesing a part changing its parameters and exporting it using python
Hello, I have seen a few years ago, people using python, and accessing to one of their files, changing the configuration and getting back the exported file. I need to do a parametric study of a geometry and i would love to be able to do this but did not find any good knowledge source for doing this. someone has an updated…

Applying bend reliefs to vertexes between rips and bends?
Working on yet another sheet metal script and I'm really close to completion on a build that's ready for deployment but I'm having issues getting bend relief geometry to generate on the ends of my bend segments of sheet metal parts. I suspect my issue is that I was trying to apply bend relief attributes to corners that are…

Why doesn't Onshape support sketch blocks or sketch scaling?
Just idle curiosity I guess. I've played with quite a few CAD packages, and most, if not all, support the concept of blocks for drawings. So why doesn't OS have this functionality? Is it on the to-do list?Same comment for scaling sketch items. Several times I've found I wanted to create a copy of a group of sketch items,…

Extrude up to body, up to face, booleans, performance
With Parasolid and FeatureScript performance in mind, I'm trying to figure out the best approach to creating a lot of features which a normal user would use "up to next"/add. As a regular CAD user, with things like bosses and ribs on injection molded parts, whenever I've been working complex models for a while, each…

How to create a "triangular extrusion" simply?

The first one just does a draft angle which is easiest but doesn't quite get it right. The second one builds and chamfers 3 different extrudes which are then…

Is it possible that my drawing got corrupted in the cloud?
Having created a scale model in Onshape last year and made a successful physical print of it, I was surprised to find on opening it again after about 8 months that it was full of errors. At first I thought I'd made a bad shell feature, which would propagate errors down the line, but after some nice tips in response to my…

About slicing a form
I've made a 1/2 a vase form using the loft and shell function. I would like to 'take it apart' to make a cookie cutter for each facet . What's the best way to accomplish this? I looked into slicing, but it only seems to cut it along a plane crossing, cutting through the entire object. This is the simplest form, like this,…

ChatGPT Atlas for FeatureScript vibe coding
OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Atlas, which is their own web browser with built in ChatGPT agent functionality. So far this is MacOS only, but Windows is in development. https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-atlas/ What this means potentially is that you can use ChatGPT to vibe code FeatureScript. So far I'm not…

I cant put a line in the middle of a square
if i make a simple sketch and i put a line perpendicular inside of it, it gets over constrained. I have no idea what i done to make a sketch break itself by default, i hope this is user error and not a onshape bug. It automatically adds a dimension, and if i remove it its not over constrained however if i add it back it…

Shell used successfully in a part but no longer works
Hi. First time question - been using Onshape for a couple of years and not had any problems that couldn't be solved by the help or the forum, but can't find anything on this one: I drew a vehicle body shape and shelled it, cut windows and added detail etc, exported to STL and printed, very pleased with it. Opening it up…

Sweep orientation/align Problem
Hello there, I am facing a problem trying to sweep a profile. I could probably make the path sketch a bit different using tangency or adding a straight line where the path meets the existing part (blue) but since this is an exercise i dont want to come up with a different result. I already did it with 3 different loft's…

Toggling Modes Updating Stored Values?
I'm reworking the standard Trim curve feature. One trick I'm trying to make work is to allow the user to trim/extend "up to entity" and then switch to "blind/distance" mode where the value of that blind distance comes from the up to entity, but now it's draggable/editable. As an example, let's say I've blind/extended a…

New (basic) Custom Feature: Studs
I've created a FS to lay out 2x4 studs for residential construction. I may develop it further if I find that I need more features. Likely for singles, California corners, T-junctions, or maybe even multiple walls at once. I don't think many people use Onshape for architecture since it is critically missing Feet-Inches…
