Is there a way to keep my OnShape logged in
Every time I come to the computer to continue work on something all of the windows require me to log back in. Even if I left only for a couple of hours. If there a way to keep the sessions active? Did anyone create an extension for that? Would refreshing a page on one tab keep all the other tabs session active…

I'm looking to publish a set of documents so that anyone can copy them (to be able investigate how things were done, make tweaks, etc. as they want) and have access to the latest version, but while keeping the version history (specifically the contributor names) private. Are there any tricks or other methods anyone knows…

Tips on troubleshooting issues with boolean
Apologies for the vague title as I'm struggling with how to ask this in a clear way. I've been working on incorporating more organic surfaces into my design and have been running into issues where an operation fails with no clear reason and I get the "boolean operation would result in a non manifold body" error. Here's an…

Design Review Request: What can I do better?
I have been using OnShape as a hobbyist, mostly for 3D printing, for just over a year now and I'm getting more comfortable with what it can do. I'm happy with the outcome of my latest item, but I'd really appreciate a review of how I've gone about it and suggestions for what I could do better. I have some specific…

How can I recover my document?
I was playing around trying to tile a… er, well, a tile lol for a dollhouse… Anyway trying a couple of different methods they both end up in crashing onshape (i.e. endless hourglass/circle that never recovers) Theoretically Version 2 of this document should be "before the problems started"……

Custom Feature Collection: 456D Make

How Does Surface Text Know Where a Circle Starts and Ends and which way is up?
I've had some troubles getting ST to put the text exactly where I want it, right-side up and not in mirror image. I've wrestled it to the ground in the document cited. Ideally the two phrases would be aligned to a single inner circle with Better Luck's bottom sitting on the circle and Next Time's top hanging from it.…

How do I create a plane that is perpendicular to a surface?
I am trying to make a revolved cut feature that I can drop onto a cylinder face (the cylinder should be able to be anywhere in space) but the sketch plane has to be perpendicular to the face chosen. I've used the code below where realPlane is the plane chosen by the user.var sketchPlane1 = plane(vector(0, 0, 0) * inch,…

Using variables
I am drawing a trailer frame and I would like the frame crossmembers to update with the change of the length. I have started to the Variables and Expressions course, but found it was more than I need to know at this time. In other words it was beyond my comprehension for the most part. Just need the basics.

Inserting Inspection Item into a Table
I need to put an inspection item in a specific column of a drawing table per a supplier request, but Onshape doesn't let me add one into the cell.

Is there a way to install new fonts into Onshape?
I have a need to laser etch a logo into some sheet metal parts. In MS Word I have created the logo with the font of my choice. I expect I can use the image to create the laser etch but it would be much simpler to install a new font into Onshape. Then I could simply use the text tool to created the etching in the parts. I…

Extruding two concentric circles separately when sketched on a part face
Often when making bolted connections between two parts, I like to have one sketch that defines the tap drill and clearance hole diameter. I then will extrude the two different circles in separate features so that the tap drill is on one part, and the clearance hole on the other. I've done this in NX my whole career. Trying…

Can I have multiple feature studios in one Onshape file?
I have a couple of Featurescript features and want to be able to add them to my toolbar. Rather than creating multiple files, I tried creating multiple feature studios in an Onshape model, each with a separate feature. My thinking is that I could organize all my featurescripts in one place, and version them from there.…
