What does "Retrieving Data for 1 Body" mean, and why does it keep slowing my assembly?
We are having this pop up intermittently, yet often, and severely slowing down our assembly. Suppressing various subassemblies seem to have no effect on it. How do we find out what is causing this? It will randomly show up even after the assembly is loaded.

"2" text in Didact Gothic font cannot be extruded from a face as it creates a boolean error
I am trying to extrude some text up from a face for a bunch of labels. Once I got to using the number 2 it stopped working and is highlighting a square on the right hand side of the 2. If I deselect the 2 shape from the extrude then it works fine and all the other labels I've done so far have worked fine. If I make the 2…

Document Tree, like one would find in a family tree. Is there such a thing?
I'd like to see a tree showing the top level document parts and what led to them and all the way to the original part when derived in a document. For a derived part it would be nice to see the source and the derived tree to the original part. I often will have a base part that is tailored along the way up to the final use.…

Tolerance for Boolean Add Along Surface Edges?
Is there an accepted way to compare two surface edges to see if they are within tolerance for a boolean add operation? I'm trying to create an approximate offset curve along a surface - within tolerance - so it can be used for trimming and other operations. In this image the input curve is an isoparam (degree-3) and the…

Centering image on face
Hey! Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I'm just starting out and I'm stumped. I just created a sketch that puts an image on a face and now I want to do the same on all 4 sides of my object, but for some reason I can't do it on the other sides. I'm trying to create a vertical line in the middle of my sketch (which I…

HELP! How do I trim a surface with a sketch?
So frustrated, have tried split and extrude but cannot seem to trim away this cylinder with rectangle sketch. Its a test so just want to trim off the top and bottom parts of the cylinder. SolidWorks is Extrude Cut, then choose what to keep, what is the Onshape equivalent?

First FeatureScript 🎉 “Braille Surface Text” + quick licensing/LLM question
Hey all - my first FS (with basicly no coding experience) and I’m pretty excited! I built it with Gemini 3 Pro in 2–3 hours but had to fiddle around quite a bit to get the dots working on spheres. It places Braille-dots on curved surfaces to support accessibility to all kinds of objects. BRAILLE SURFACE TEXT :…

Why do I get non-manifold edges simply by doing a transform/rotate and how do I fix it?
Hi, I'm new here. I tried searching the forums for similar issues, but could not find any topic related to non-manifold when doing a rotate. So I have a model, which works fine as it is and has no issues. I wanted to export it at an angled position, so it's easier to print this way, so I added a transform/rotate step. But…

Where's my tool bar?
I may have done something but I can't recall doing anything that would make the sketch tool bar disappear. It's only missing from one document. I can open other docs and it's there. Any ideas on how to fix this?

FeatureScript Standard Library Visualizer
https://gatrall.github.io/fsvisualizer/ I built a tool (or more accurately vibe coded a tool) to visualize the Onshape Standard FeatureScript library. This is very new, and I'm sure there are some weird things about it. Let me know what works and what doesn't. For each module, it shows what's imported/exported, a link to…

Can I take a part photo and bring it into Onshape?
I made a pattern on the dash of my project car and I need to send it to have it water jetted. It's just flat.

How would I go about emulating this effect?
I've looked into using the helix tool, but it doesn't play well with non-cylindrical bodies. If only I could wrap it around the contour of the part, but that doesn't seem to be a possibility.

Slow performance
Has anything changed in the last month? My performance has gone from very fast to turtles pace. Its basically unusable. I would assume if I pay for the software the performance will greatly improve?

Schedule Assignments feature request
Currently, when creating assignment's it is left in a Draft state untill [Publish assignment] is selected. I believe it would be useful to be able to schedule the assignment with a Date and Time picker. The Picker should include NOW, or Date and time With that, a Close assignment scheduler would also be helpful. Like the…

Parametric curve FS by Mahir
I just recently learned about this feature script and used it to create some spur gears, and it worked great. Now I'm trying to create a parametric curve to make a cycloid gear, the equation I've created a dummy variable t, set it equal to 1, and then inserted a parameter t afterwards, but I keep getting an error code…

Move sub-assembly or part in an assembly
New Onshape user here. I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be so simple. I have a small assembly that I've just inserted into a new empty assembly. Just getting a feel for things, I see I can freely click to move the sub-assembly in space. So then I want to move it so that a particular vertex in the…

Can't get lofts the way I would like
So im working on an aircraft model and I can't get the lofts to behave in the way I would like I want to have it so it follows a side profile whilst also following a top profile to ensure the surface of the loft is smooth and I can only ever get one not both could anyone offer a fix to this issue

When opening an assembly that a previous employee at created, most of the contents are missing. Why?
When I open an assembly that a privous colegue at created, the contents of the assembly are mostly missing (as compared to the thumbnail screenshot). Another team member is able to open the assembly and see the correct contents. Is there some sort of hidden permissions system that is preventing me from opening the entire…

Tool: Use
I'm running into a mental block regarding the "Use" tool. I can follow a specific example and get it to work, but for some reason can't figure out why it is failing when I try to apply it to a small part I'm trying to recreate. Basically, the issues is following a specific youtube video for Fusion. Everthing works up to…

Why isn't the coincident constraint working right?
Applied a coincident constraint from this construction line to a spline, yet it created this micro gap which I didn't notice until I really looked. This later caused issues for me when I went to make a projected curve and the shape not filling in properly as its not an enclosed loop. The sketch is entirely fixed, no points…

Frame trim
I have a grid of frames Without having to draw each segment separately I thought I could use the frame trim. this won’t work as it wont remove the intersections and keep both sides sketch and extrude then won’t allow the parts to fill into a cut list as it can’t determine the ends. Is there an easier or quicker way to do…

Why doesn't the documents creators name follow along with copies - or copies of copies?
This topic may be for the devs or maybe even a ticket item (but here goes) - And before we start, I understand about public doc's on a free account, (and I completely agree with all the terms). But still wonder why the originator of a document isn't tagged to the first version label on the copy, along with the name of the…
