sheet metal bracket with flanges for welding
Looking for a little help from the sheet metal experts. I want the flange joints to meet when the bend is made but I can't seem to achieve this effect. The intent is to form the 4 flanges, bend the part, then weld the joint where the flange faces meet (blue arrow). The 'hole" at the corner will remain, so the protruding…

Am I blind or is there no way to change a publication unit?
As I was about to do this I figured I could change my default units in my preferences, create a publication (it would then be set to my "default" units), then change back to my "normal" units in the preferences. I was surprised when I didn't find a "workspace unit" (or equivalent setting) in the publication hamburger menu!…

isDragging()? Manipulators?
Is there a way to know when a user has let up on the mouse and is done dragging a manipulator? I thought I was making good progress using ChatGPT, but today we're been going in circles trying to resolve this. The bigger issue is that I'm trying to implement NUV motion for splines. I had a pretty good version working, but…

Parametric pattern replication in assembly with automatic edge trimming - is it possible?
I'm working on a design where I need to replicate a single tile component across a base plate in an assembly. The requirements are: Pattern one tile part across the entire plate surface (so only one part appears in BOM) Automatically trim/cut tiles that extend beyond the plate edges so they're flush with the plate boundary…

Ternary Formula for Global Variable
I have a variable declared in a variable studio table that is giving me an error. I can't find any documentation on if ternary formulas can contain parentheses or not. Can I not use a formula for the result of the 'if' clause? I'm trying to write a ternary formula representing this if/else clause (using Javascript…

I'm trying to create "spikes" on the top of my dirtbike footpeg sketch.
Hi there, I'm very new to both drawing and onshape, in fact it's the first time I'm trying to create something. I'm trying to create some dirtbike footpegs and I want to add spikes to the top similar to the S3 punk model. Here's an image for context: Here is what I've created so far:…

New Feature: Edit Curve Plus - BETA
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/cbd5b34feb4bb0575a2bb2b4/w/37bf21e38c9e1ebe1fdbda21/e/113fec25a8e729bfba1786e4 So this is even more experimental than Bridging Curve Plus, but it seems to do some things that I've wanted for a while. Onshape doesn't have great ways to manipulate multiple points in a feature at once, and…

sectional views in Rendering studio
Greetings I tried to make a sectional view of an assembly in a rendering studio but all of the parts are hollow instead of solid. I dropped the appearance I wanted onto the full part folder in the scene list and it applies it to all of the visual surfaces but not the interior. Advice welcome. Isotherm

A few more undocumented FeatureScript functions

Do you need a "Transform sketch" feature? Request for feedback.
Hey everyone, I'm working on a new custom feature called "Transform sketch". This isn't an activity I frequently need in my own modeling so I wanted to ask for some suggestions before writing much more code. IF this is something you need, please let me know when you would use it, what you use it for, and what controls you…

More defining issues
Made a polycon, why are two points constrained, but 3 are not? If I'm using the polycon sketch tool, why just 2 defined? Plan on doing a loft on plane one, but need to define each polycon. tried putting a measure on each line, adding a constraint to each of the 3 points, but still not fully defined. What am I missing,…

Variable in text does not change in pattern
Hi, I have a variable in a sketch text, when I apply a linear pattern which changes the variable, the text does not change.

New Feature: Bridging Curve Plus
I don't have an icon or an explainer page yet, but I wanted people to bang on this and tell me if there are any obvious issues. So things might change, but I hope this is a reasonable approach.

Is it possible to scale around a circular axis rather than a linear direction?
I have run into a situation where it would be great to scale an object in a way that it would keep the upper and lower faces the same curvature (or the same thickness) but essentially act as a move face —> rotate in the chosen directions. The reason the move face wouldn't work in my case is I want a precise scale change…
