Hello, I wish to identify the point at which a projected curve pierces a plane. When editing the sketch on the plane to be pierced I am unable to see or select the projected curve. In fact, during any operation the projected curves only appear to be visible when selected from the feature list? The projected curves in…

Happy Friday! I wanted to share a little tip that I developed in collaboration with Matt and Matt at Onshape - inspired by my 7th grade son's Onshape experience. The trick is to create a variable - type Any. The information you type into the description will show up as a tooltip. You can see here that my Variable is named…

Cable/Wire Routing: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3599036701247d65f0106997 There have been many wiring custom features created over the years, each using a different approach and each having different strengths, but none focused on the end-to-end process. This new set of custom features takes the best ideas from those…

Hello everyone, I just started learning onshape follow youtube videos. I want to create a flange which go straight up from the line that I picked, but seem like it keep create an angle close to the origin point. I tried to switch Flange alignment option from Hold line to Inner, outer and middle, it was pretty close but…

When I try to edit my bio, it doesn't let me enter the typing field when I click on it. Is there any fix or alternative way to edit my bio?

(Sorry for reposting this but I am hoping someone will respond this time) I am trying to model a diverterless supersonic inlet for my jet but none of the methods I've tried worked. Here is what I have so far:…

Hi there, I am looking for some super simple, super relaxed tutorials with easy to follow steps and examples. Can anyone recommend something that a beginner's beginner can follow? Thank you! — Boris S.

We are using onshape in school. We can sign up, login, but when we try to create or open a drawing we get the following message… Onshape is not connected. Your document is saved. Refresh the browser to continue. I suspect an issue with out firewall or browser but have no idea where to look..

We’ve been testing the new Onshape FeatureScript MCP Server and honestly, it’s been interesting to see how far it can go. 😎 Instead of asking AI to generate a complete CAD model from a text prompt, we used it to create custom Onshape Features for things we would normally have to build manually. For example, we created: An…

Why is there no audio on some of the lessons?

Hello, I was actually under the impression that I had created a matching external and internal thread, but the external thread is missing in the slicer, at least. Hallo, ich war eigentlich der Meinung das ich ein passendes Außen- und Innengewinde erstellt hätte, im Slicer gibt es zumindest das Außengewinde nicht.…

First off, I'm very new to Onshape, so I'm likely missing some key basic function. The image below is the bottom of a cylinder center finder I'm using from another Onshape user. I'm trying to modify it to add engraved ruler markings on the diagonal to measure diameter. Anyway, I used a "Ruler" FeatureScript by Gustavo…

Onshape makes a big deal about its ability to provide simultaneous editing access to its CAD data, as it should, because it makes concurrent collaborative design possible. To my knowledge no other MCAD product has this capability, (MCAD's answer to Google Docs.) however, this capability appears to only extend to Part…

Hey all — long-time Onshape user, wanted to share something I've been building and using in production. The problem: Getting vector artwork (logos, cutout profiles, panel designs, icons) into Onshape as real, editable sketch geometry is annoying. DXF import can be inconsistent, and manually retracing SVGs with the sketch…

I'm setting up a class for teaching Onshape. As part of testing, I shared a document (with Edit capabilities) with my work account (I use Onshape for work). I modified one Part Studio in that document from my work account. Now, it appears the original account cannot delete that Part Studio. It is not an option in…

I've run into some issues exporting .STEP files of large assemblies, so I have to export smaller chunks and recombine them later. What is the size limit, and what is driving it? Is there any way to increase it?

Anyone willing to try the new capabilities to expand on auto layout to allow for nested layouts. So if you have a big cutout and there's open space in the middle, could other parts be fit inside there? As long as the interference check deems there's no interference.

I am new to OnShape. I teach Engineering at an online high school. I have created a class and added students I created one assignment but I am trying to assign lessons from the curriculum to my class and can't figure it out. Thank you Mark White

Can somebody PLEASE tell me how to get rid of this damn blue box?

Hi everyone!I am working on a Master Chief cosplay costume for Halloween, and time is ticking! I have imported a 3D model into Onshape, but everything came in as a mesh. Right now, I need to convert specific sections from Surfaces into actual Parts (Solids) so I can edit them and get them ready for…

Hi All, I'm trying to copy the piece in the images below. It is not my design but with some adaptation it will do what I need it to do. I have tried importing the file as both a .stl and a .step file without any luck at all. So I've resorted to trying to replicate it but cannot get beyond the initial laying out of there…

I can not get this text to remove (Cut Out option) on the face of this extrude. I've gone back and changed each extrude to "new" rather than add and it still won't generate. I created a second Part Studio with a basic extrude and it seems to remove text on that one. I can't figure out why it won't generate.…

Hi everyone, I’m trying to find a simple way to keep student assignment files organized when using Onshape Classes. Sometimes students create or copy documents in the wrong folder, and then it becomes confusing to know which file is the actual assignment. How do other educators organize student documents so that students…

So I have my account thru my college. There's this assembly file that I've been working on, and some other people need to get on it. These other people have their own personal accounts. Is there some way to share it with them/copy it to my own personal account without losing the feature tree? So far it looks like my…

I need to have a spherical face on one side of a cube. I have created a cube and created a sphere individually, but for some reason I can't get both created without issues in the same model. I was trying to create both parts and use a boolean operation to end up with a spherical face on one side of the cube. I have been…
