Create a Property in an ITEM that contains a URL to a Workspace or Document
I think I have read things that indicate this is possible, but not sure how. Can I create a Custom Property that contains a URL/Link to a workspace or document inside or outside of Onshape? In the 'Types' list for custom properties I do not see URL: as an option.

Split Part using Ruled Surface?
I've been working with some laser cut tubing recently, and have had to go back and forth with suppliers about normal-to-surface tube cutting that doesn't exactly match our model. I've found guides for normalizing coped and mitered cuts on round tube, and used them to come up with a process for transforming a tube modeled…

Select edge of extrude? (resolved)
I'm suddenly having trouble doing something I swear I've done before: selecting edges (not the face) of an extrude. Make a rectangle, extrude. Now, I want to select the edges of the top, and chamfer the edges. I can't convince the UI to select individual edges, only the face. This matters, because what I really want to do…

Help Debugging Custom Sheet‑Metal Nesting Feature (Parser Errors in Mid‑File Functions)
Hi everyone, I’m working on a custom FeatureScript for automated sheet‑metal nesting. The goal is to: - flatten all selected sheet‑metal parts - auto‑rotate them based on grain direction - place them onto a virtual sheet - draw grain‑direction arrows - draw bend‑direction arrows - generate a quantity list - and eventually…

Why is the top not parallel with the side all around.
I noticed the side rails of the ladder weren't plum. I set the sketch for the side rails parallel to the plane of the top edge of the tank and centered with the origin. This also reared it's ugly head with the top, it also showed an offset in the horizontal plane - it too is parallel with the top of the tank and…

I don't see any particular indication that the face or part is…

Custom Feature: Chamfillet
Link to Feature A common problem with 3d printed models (FDM) is that a fillet on the build plate ends up looking ugly because the printer cannot print a horizontal overhang. Usually, if you are designing a 3d printed part, you then use a chamfer on the bottom face because most FDM printers can print at least a 45 degree…

Custom Feature: Triad Transform
-Link to feature up front- Onshape's vanilla transform feature doesn't give you those nice buttery smooth rotation handles to play with like the assembly tabs do, which is a shame because some of the most aesthetically pleasing structures aren't confined to the bounds of XYZ coordinates. I mean look at these crystal…

Is there an easy way to achieve this plane?
So I see that the tangent plane feature seems to only work with cylinders which seems quite limited. I would love to get a tangent plane to a general curved surface. It seems like if I make a minimum bounding cylinder, make the plane around that, then suppress that part I could get the desired plane, but I also cannot…
