Perspective views - depth adjustment
Is there a way to adjust the perspective as seen in SW? Currently, my project does not look right in 3D in a non-perspective way, but putting perspective on distorts so much that the object looks 20 meters long, while it is only 2 meters. In Onshape, to date, I have not found a solution. Anybody? If it is not possible, can…

Mass Properties
I know i can select a part and click the scales to get the mass, however, is there a way to have a variable that displays the mass of a part? I found the featurescript Mv Measure Value, which is very handy, but it doesn't do mass. I also found evApproximateMassProperties in the featurescript manual, but i cant work out if…

Trying to clone and place an object evenly on the surface of a sphere via feature script.
I’m absolutely new to Featurescript and I am trying to use a common algorithm that I borrowed from somewhere else to evenly generate points on the surface of a unit sphere and am transposing and scaling them successfully (using a user selected point and radius to generate the list of x,y,z coordinates) as far as I can…

Extrusion from another extrusion face leads to non-manifold body
Hello, I am running into a "Extrude did not regenerate properly: Boolean operation would result in non-manifold body." issue, whatever that means. It's driving me crazy, I don't understand what the issue is. It seems that the problem is related to the triangle at the top. There is a "Loft" in that area, which for some…

Skateboard design truck design question
Greetings One thing I found weird was that the lesson makes you use 2 fillets on the same part. The Truck Baseplate has fillets 2 and 3, even though you could have done it with only one fillet. Both fillets use the same radius and I even tested; it looks exactly the same if you just select all the faces with fillet 2. Why?…

Sweeping Along a Cylinder (Normal to the Surface)
Hi, I would like to sweep a slot on a cylinder that will be CNC'ed. The slot needs to be normal to the cylindrical surface as it wraps around it. I tried sweep and wrap and neither wrap normal to the surface. Closest example of what I need - Imagine as you turn the grey part, the grooves mate with the tabs on the outlet.…

Sweep angle to face
Good day everyone, I am novice designer and have been trying to learn Onshape since I graduated from undergrad. My first self project was to recreate a simple distillation apparatus. However I am having some issue, trying to create the condenser part. The condenser should pierce through the cylinder until the inner wall.…

"Use"ing a "Derived" part breaks when Derived location changes
I get some weird behavior when changing the location of a Derived part that is Use'd in a sketch. All my Use constraints are broken. Steps to repro: (see Part Studio 1 and Part Studio 2 for an example) Define Part 1 in some Part Studio Derive Part 1 into some other Part Studio (e.g., Part Studio 2) and set the location to…

Fastest way to tell if a line touches any of a set of faces?
I have a whole bunch of curves, and I want to tell if they touch any selected target faces. I first thought of evCollisions(), but I'm not sure it works with faces and curves (does it?). This is making me lean toward evDistance() and seeing if the distance is zero, which should work, but can anyone recommend something that…

Is there a way to prohibit including properties for Derived parts at a company level?
I waste a lot of time removing duplicate names and part numbers from Derived parts that my coworkers have made. We have no use case for having multiple parts with the same name and part number.

How to Make Threads on a Bolt?
Hello all! I am trying to create a tensile tester that has bolt-like ends. I've found some decent tutorials on how to create a bolt itself using the helix tool and a triangle sketch to create the thread, however my issue is that I'm not sure how they size the triangle to adjust for the diameter of the thread they want. I'm…

Mates that should in theory follow a center path
Hi, I'm new to OnShape, but have been having a wonderful time with the product. I decided to give myself a stretch project, which is a toy that features a cam which drives two arms; at the intersection of these arms is a gliding part which houses a magnet (meant to be a bee following a path between some flowers). There are…

Trouble creating a simple loft with guides
Hi, I am trying to create a simple loft between two opposite side faces of a block. The profiles are rectangles with different depths from the top surface. On the top surface I sketched a couple of guide arcs for the loft to follow. No matter what I try I can only get the top surface of the loft to follow the guides. The…

How to report out height, width, and moment of inertia from multiple cross sections
Our team wants to do a study using collected data from multiple different custom aluminum tubes. A pattern is getting me close but I need a way to have it return height, width, and moment of inertia values at each cross sections. Looking for a solution that can easily be replicated for many different tubes.

Extrude BoundingType Problems
I'm working on an injection molded boss custom feature. I'm trying to get the bosses to extrude to the part with or without draft reliably. In doing so, I'm discovering weird things about UP_TO_NEXT or UP_TO_PART which are causing issues. Here's a manual feature based version of this issue - if I use up to next or up to…

Is there something similar to shift + drag to copy? In the Assembly Studio?
I can't recall which apps use this, but I'm used to being able to copy an object by selecting it and then holding a key (shift) while I drag it to its desired position. Is there anything similar in the Assembly Studio?

Assembly instructions like glue and torqure
We would like to move away from traditional assembly drawings and work exclusively with 3D assemblies. I am now looking for a way to specify assembly information such as tightening torque and adhesives. The document notes are too general or quickly become too confusing for our 10 assemblies. Does anyone have any ideas?
