A problem getting transform in part studio to produce anything
Hello Folks, the question says it all. I don’t know what I’m missing, but I’ve get about 12 hours into trying any and every combination of modes and entities to configure the function, and not one single combination has generated any output. I simply cannot believe that the function is flat dead, it’s just way too…

A little help please with termonology
First, for a little background… I'm a health care professional getting into the world of 3D printing and CAD. I have an extensive IT background and very familiar with computers, software, and hardware. That being said, I'm looking for the termonology to search for. See the picture attached. I'm trying to extrude on the…

How to fully define a sketch
I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m just not understanding, but I’m trying to make a body tube for a model rocket and I’ve been stuck trying to do a simple circular pattern around the Z‑axis of my body tube (a cylinder). I’m new to Onshape, but I have experience with other CAD software, and for some reason…

we need the CAM studio
Hello team The CAM Studio is an amazing addition which I was waiting for. But sadly, it is not for educators and students yet. I am now in a situation for which I really need to do 3D and even 4D CAM processing, but I struggled finding something I can use. My faculty is pushing me to buy a license for Fusion 360 because it…

How to fix a project that locked up and can't load
I was whipping up a quick project. I made a bolt but didn't have the correct thread pitch. Once I got the pitch I went back to edit the helix. I think I should have edited the thread shape first because after changing the helix it locked up the project. I have tried refreshing multiple times, and closed-reopened the…

Custom Feature: Design Intent
Link to Design Intent During design reviews I am often asking or being questioned as to why a model was formed the way it was. Usually the answer is in someone's head or personal notes and lacking from any formal documentation. If it is in documentation, then it is likely far from the CAD (unless you keep that in Onshape…

Anyone already wrote a feature script for "slotted bending" (sheet metal)?
Hey, I am currently trying to write a quick feature script to transform a sheet metal bend corner into a "slotted bend" (like described nicely over at Hackaday a while back: https://hackaday.com/2016/05/18/the-art-and-science-of-bending-sheet-metal/ ). This can already be easily done manually by drawing a sketch with a…

Drawing Update to Slow
Hello all is anyone here can help me, my problem is I did a change in my model and when I go back to my drawing and refresh it, it's given me a long wait to update the drawing, and when I change the version and go back again to main the drawing got updated but the loading did not stop and after a minute it will refresh and…

revolute mate / tangent mate interactions
Hello everyone, I am trying to simulate a pretty basic engine mechanic, but I got met with this: If someone knows why the mate reacts in such a way, it would be helpful. 🙏 I wish to use the "Revolute mate" so I can use the "Animate" to simulate it's movement.

Who created Spur Gear? I made it faster.
Spur Gear is great, but can er very slow for large complex gears. We have been using it to make curved rack and pinion sections and it means making a gear with hundreds of teeth and then chopping it down. Taking inspiration from Performant Part Pattern, I made the hundreds of boolean operations recursive (pattern, boolean,…

Can custom tables work like Cutlist?
I'm making a custom table that is created by a custom feature that is similar to Cutlist. The tables it produces are associated with parts in the part studio. However, when I go to insert it into the drawing, unlike Cutlist tables, which are inserted by choosing the composite part they create, it seems like I can only…

string formatting in FS?
I'm used to Python's string formatting, where I can insert variables into a longer string and the result is concatenated automatically. Is there anything similar in FS? In the example below, look how much more readable the Python example is. Python: "Hello, my name is %s and I like to eat %s on %s." % (name, food,…

How to shell airfoil shape

Part Numbers but make them words
I recently wrote a blog article about "Smart" Part numbers and how they tend to create more problems than they solve. At the end of the article I included some other "fun" options for part numbers. One of the ideas was inspired by What3Words - what if the part number was a combination of 3 random words? Some commentors…

Sketch could not be solved - why?
I'm trying to do a very simple sketch: Now I connect the top of the 10 mm line with the top of the 3 mm line with a straight line (line tool): When I just hit enter to accept the 40,608 mm length, I get a 'Sketch could not be solved' message: Why is that so? If I now hit the 'undo' button, everything turns black again and…

How can I add a draft angle to this complex shape?
Hi, I'm very, very new to CAD. I'm a chocolate maker trying to design my own tools for vacuum formed chocolate molds. Right now, I'm struggling to add draft angles to my shapes. I finally figured out how to import the image, trace it and extrude it, but following the advice from the AI (to copy the sketch, enlarge it and…

Availability of tutorials
I'm an intermittent user of Onshape, and I've previously relied heavily on the tutorials to help me figure out specific functionality (linear patterns and lofting come to mind as examples). I'm now having a difficult time finding the tutorials I previously used to learn these. Are they still around, and if so, how do I get…

Applying bend reliefs to vertexes between rips and bends?
Working on yet another sheet metal script and I'm really close to completion on a build that's ready for deployment but I'm having issues getting bend relief geometry to generate on the ends of my bend segments of sheet metal parts. I suspect my issue is that I was trying to apply bend relief attributes to corners that are…

Why doesn't Onshape support sketch blocks or sketch scaling?
Just idle curiosity I guess. I've played with quite a few CAD packages, and most, if not all, support the concept of blocks for drawings. So why doesn't OS have this functionality? Is it on the to-do list?Same comment for scaling sketch items. Several times I've found I wanted to create a copy of a group of sketch items,…
