How do I create angled parts?

The part on the left will won't have the same hight as the one on the right on their lowest point. I am not sure how to do this because I tried sketching on…

Is Dynamic Text Possible in a Collapsed Group Header?
Title pretty much says it all. I want non-editable text that can be updated in a group header that can be collapsed. For example: ⌄ Boss OD 2.0 x d = 5.0mm Ratio 2.0 Diameter 5.0 mm > Boss ID 0.8 x d = 2.0mm > Pilot ID 1.0 x d = 2.5mm

I need to scale a sketch in one axis only
I have a sketch on the x-y plane, and I need to scale it in the y axis only. I know that the transform tool can be used to scale sketch elements, but I don't know how to scale them in one axis only. It scales in x and y simultaneously, which I don't want. What am I missing?

What's the best way to organize drawings to provide them to the Fabrication team?
on our robot team, cad and fab are two separate groups. We would like an organized system for all fab drawings (ready to check, approved, made, etc) that we can share with fab. We can make folders, but we can't send a link to those folders. How is this supposed to be done? Our project is small compared to commercial…

Dxf file of the notch on the end of this tube
I am trying to export a dxf file of this tube to be cut on my tube cutting attachment on my CNC plasma cutter. There is no option for this that I have found. How are people taking componets they have built in the frame generator and exporting them in a DXF file format to be cut on rotary plasma or laser equipment?

Bug Report? Or By Design?
I'm surprised I haven't run into this before, but a very simple extrude just failed for me. I just have a rectangle fully enclosing a shape where one point of a corner rectangle is on a circle.

sheet metal bracket with flanges for welding
Looking for a little help from the sheet metal experts. I want the flange joints to meet when the bend is made but I can't seem to achieve this effect. The intent is to form the 4 flanges, bend the part, then weld the joint where the flange faces meet (blue arrow). The 'hole" at the corner will remain, so the protruding…

Am I blind or is there no way to change a publication unit?
As I was about to do this I figured I could change my default units in my preferences, create a publication (it would then be set to my "default" units), then change back to my "normal" units in the preferences. I was surprised when I didn't find a "workspace unit" (or equivalent setting) in the publication hamburger menu!…

I had a pretty good version working, but…

Onshape doesn't have great ways to manipulate multiple points in a feature at once, and…
