Use Report, viz(), and dbg() for conditional println and debug visualizations
Earlier this year I wrote a utility called "Report". The one-sentence description is "Conditional debug visualization and println controlled by feature and not by code". Here's an intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu7puEa8Oak You can find the feature and functions here:…

Tangent mates and camshaft
Hi all, I am designing a V10 engine and am currently doing the camshafts, but I am having trouble getting the tangent mates and revolute mate to work properly. At first I used a temporary block (about a quarter of the way down the cylinder head) to mark the tangent mates from and get it all to work, which it did fine. Then…

How do I get my old account back
When I originally made, my account I did it through my school email but I didn't login specifically with the Henrico Public School Enterprise. However, when I learned I could do that I decided to sign in. But the issue is that now I can't log into the old one. It shows accounts but when I try to log in with my password it…

Manipulator Style Cheat Sheet?
Does anyone have a cheat sheet for all the manipulator styles/types? There are no illustrations in the standard docs and I had to dig around to figure out that the one I was looking for is called "tangential". See also:

Sheet Metal Convert Error
I have a solid that I've converted into a sheet metal part which I find to be a wonderful tool. But when there's a error it's often hard to figure out what the problem is. I'm wondering if ththere is are a way to better see where the problem lies. It looks like everything has been converted to sheet metal, but there are no…

Can I download a class submission to 3D print a classes work?
I'm running a series of CAD projects across different year groups. One of the projects is a key fob that I want to 3D print for the class. Can I download all of their ideas at once instead of going into each students project and exporting as an STL file? If not, can this be a considered upgrade?

Tapered Recess Creation?
I've been struggling with one aspect of a molded boss feature I'm developing. I've tried a lot of different ways to solve this but getting a general case method that is robust is surprisingly challenging. I'm working on a molded boss feature to rival hole.fs in complexity which takes basic choices for screw type/size and…

How do I make and designate a Mirror Element
I'm trying to mirror an assembly in another assembly, but it seems on shape doesn't know how to mirror the custom parts in my assembly because when I try to mirror it, it says "Missing mirror element, mirror strategy table needs updating". I'm pretty sure there's a way to fix this because parts I downloaded don't have this…

Auto part marking scripts?
A common request from my team is the want for a script that automatically generates part names or numbers and etches / engraves the text into the surface of the part somewhere so that our fabrication team gets easier puzzles to put together and the drafting team gets to spend less time writing puzzle solving instructions.…

Tutorials for a beginning robotics class
What is a good learning tutorial sequence for a beginning robotics class? Students may need to make simple parts such as goBilda spacers, quad blocks, and u-channels. Thank you, Eric Schlytter

Derived Part orientation
When adding a derived part, is there a way to change its orientation? In other words, when I create a new part that is derived I want to place a bottom flat part of the derived part's surface onto the top plane. Also is there a way to add a derived part based on a surface feature? Thanks, Bob

Classes vs Teams
Been using Onshape for years now but this is the first time I am trying Classes vs using Teams for my students to create and save their work. I have a few questions please: When setting up classes and then creating assignments, how do i create a copy of the same document for myself so that I can teach it to them in the…

Split Panel Feature
This split panel feature has been one of my favourites of the past year to work on. The combination of a really cool data structure, and an interesting implementation of point manipulators have resulted in a feature I would describe as "playful". Clicking a blue dot adds a split, a red dot remove the split. The extra cool…

Scotch - Yoke Mechanism Not Working Properly
I am trying to make it so that whenever the handle (blue) is rotated, both gears turn, causing the scotch yoke mechanism to work properly, but currently I am having problems with the final mate connector connecting the blue oval piece to my gear extrusion. If anyone could figure out what I am doing wrong/what mate I should…

Perspective views - depth adjustment
Is there a way to adjust the perspective as seen in SW? Currently, my project does not look right in 3D in a non-perspective way, but putting perspective on distorts so much that the object looks 20 meters long, while it is only 2 meters. In Onshape, to date, I have not found a solution. Anybody? If it is not possible, can…

Mass Properties
I know i can select a part and click the scales to get the mass, however, is there a way to have a variable that displays the mass of a part? I found the featurescript Mv Measure Value, which is very handy, but it doesn't do mass. I also found evApproximateMassProperties in the featurescript manual, but i cant work out if…

Trying to clone and place an object evenly on the surface of a sphere via feature script.
I’m absolutely new to Featurescript and I am trying to use a common algorithm that I borrowed from somewhere else to evenly generate points on the surface of a unit sphere and am transposing and scaling them successfully (using a user selected point and radius to generate the list of x,y,z coordinates) as far as I can…

Extrusion from another extrusion face leads to non-manifold body
Hello, I am running into a "Extrude did not regenerate properly: Boolean operation would result in non-manifold body." issue, whatever that means. It's driving me crazy, I don't understand what the issue is. It seems that the problem is related to the triangle at the top. There is a "Loft" in that area, which for some…

Skateboard design truck design question
Greetings One thing I found weird was that the lesson makes you use 2 fillets on the same part. The Truck Baseplate has fillets 2 and 3, even though you could have done it with only one fillet. Both fillets use the same radius and I even tested; it looks exactly the same if you just select all the faces with fillet 2. Why?…

Sweeping Along a Cylinder (Normal to the Surface)
Hi, I would like to sweep a slot on a cylinder that will be CNC'ed. The slot needs to be normal to the cylindrical surface as it wraps around it. I tried sweep and wrap and neither wrap normal to the surface. Closest example of what I need - Imagine as you turn the grey part, the grooves mate with the tabs on the outlet.…

"Use"ing a "Derived" part breaks when Derived location changes
I get some weird behavior when changing the location of a Derived part that is Use'd in a sketch. All my Use constraints are broken. Steps to repro: (see Part Studio 1 and Part Studio 2 for an example) Define Part 1 in some Part Studio Derive Part 1 into some other Part Studio (e.g., Part Studio 2) and set the location to…
