Using Variables in text
I could not get text to work at all with a #variable. I tried for over an hour, but nothing worked. My goal is to emboss a text string that includes a single dimension of the part onto a face, such as "Cube Height is #Height inches". It only works as a simple text string, but I want to update the text automatically when…

Why are the axes of a mate connector labeled "Primary" and "Secondary" rather than Z or X?
I was in a situation where I was creating a mate connector relative to an x,y,z axis system that was part of an imported file. The import had three curves labeled as X axis, Y axis, and Z axis at the origin. So I selected the origin for the MC, then I wanted to align the Z axis of the MC with the labelled Z axis of the…

[Chatbot Copilot] - We Built a FeatureScript AI Assistant That Outperforms ChatGPT
Hey everyone, I’m a mechanical engineer, and I’ve been working with FeatureScript at my company for about a year now. Honestly, it’s been tough. Tools like ChatGPT suck at FeatureScript, which is frustrating when you know how useful they are for more familiar languages like JavaScript or Python. Unless you're a…

Mesh imports but doesn't show up in parts studio
I've been importing meshes with no issue but I've made a couple of scans that I've used an extrude command on in meshmixer and mesh inspector to make a surface into a solid part. When I import these into Onshape I get a message they have imported and get a new tab but they don't show up in the part studio. When I hover…

Centering DXF on face
Hey! My goal is to put an image on a face and remove-extrude it. For this, I have an SVG file that I have converted into DXF. The problem happens after importing the DXF, when I try to center it on the face. Adding a dimension between any part of the image and a point on my object causes the lines of the image to break…

Sheet Metal Cutout Tab
Is it possible to "pull" a tab out of a flange? I want the red highlighted sketch to become a tab where it's material is cut out of the yellow outlined flange. I need to use flange instead of a bend because I want onshape to calculate the amount of material I need and bend will "shrink" the outline of the original sketch…

Classify Onshape Standard Content in FS?
Hi everyone, is there a way of creating a query to determine if a part is Onshape standard content in FS? I think there must be some kind of undocumented, internal "standardContentId" or something like qGeneratedByStandard because somehow the standard icon in the feature tree has to be added to these certain parts in the…

Import DXF with points joined?
I am importing this dxf file for a part for my laser scanner which cracked (it was originally laser cut, and I am going to 3D print it, so need to change it from 2D->3D), which imports fine, and I can extrude it quite nicely by importing it into a sketch and extruding. However, the vertices are not constrained together…

Given a mate connector how do you find the owner body for it?
How do you go from a mate connector to the owner part? I tried qOwnerBody(mc) but that seems to return the MC itself since MC's are bodies in their own right. annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "OwnerOfMC" }

Is it possible to use feature script to quickly export mass property values for assemblies?
Hi all, Still learning about feature script but I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience using Feature Script to export/output data (specifically mass property values like mass, center of mass, and moment of inertias) into either the command line or ideally into a txt file for an entire assembly. This action would…

First day with Onshape, I need a actual BSP thread, G1 for a 3d printed plug
Good afternoon all My first day with Onshape, and i saw someone else had the exact same question issue, but a few years back. I want to model and cut not virtual , a 1" BSP external straight pipe thread, Or 1"x11 TPI, or i think a G1 thread. Why is this so hard, my other CAD program would not do this either. I have read…
