Issues about the feature scrip to generate a parametric curve
Hello, I'm an amateur designer using the Onshape platform with very good results so far, I must admit. However, I've recently run into a problem I can't solve. I'm trying to generate an involute profile, and when I load the data, I get an error message. To explain, when I write the equations for X and Y, I get the error…

Feature script extrude offset issue
Hi, I would like to know how I can make an extrude with an offset within a feature script. The link below points to an example project with a failed offset extrude. The parameter "hasOffset" is set to true and the "offsetDistance" is set to 5 * millimeter. The feature script generates without error but also without offset.…

Icons on param groups?
I don't think this is currently possible, but want to be wrong. Anyone know if we can add icons for collapsable groups? The Hole feature gets close, but the native icon implementation isn't done via FS imports.

How to make this camshaft push the valves?
Hi all, I have been designing an engine in onshape and recently I have reached the cylinder head section. I have made a camshaft and valves but cannot get the camshaft to push the vales properly. I have looked online for help already and have tried using a tangent mate, but it just won't rotate the entire way around. I…

Loft "all guides should intersect with profile boundary
I am designing a boat hull, it has a smooth curve (created with a spline) at the bottom and a sharp corner at the top. I want to loft between the 3 faces i have created but the two upper line to not intersect with the opposite far side, is there a way to resolve this? as you can see some funky geometry going on at the top…

Circle Tangent & Coincident with Spline Issues
I am trying to create a dynamic equation driven gear from the tutorial below, and at about 14:40 he tries to connect 2 circles to a pair of symmetrical (mirrored) splines by making them coincident at 2 points and also tangent to the splines themselves. In his video in which he is using Solidworks, the two circles are the…

Is there a way to print a pdf that's been inserted into a Publication?
There doesn't seem to be a means to print a pdf or .dwg directly from a Publication. I see the pdf can potentially be downloaded, but printing directly would be a better option for our workflow.

Make a Simple Sheet Metal Box with Flanges
I'm lost on how to get the flange to meet or at least come close to perpendicular wall. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a06e51a396299611fc85368b/w/d7213e7937d6c4f60d66e3db/e/a785adeb3ec4f767493dc68f Also, I am unable to find any examples using the "up to entity" or "up to entity with offset" selections. Thanks, Steve.

How to Make a Plane Tangent to a Point on the Surface of a Ball
It's not actually a ball, but I believe this is the same problem. I'm just trying to drill straight into a curve, and/or to make a plane tangent to the curve in the process. None of the plane types seem to work. (Selecting the curve and a point on it just stays red for "Tangent Plane". Point Normal comes out unrelated to…

New FeatureScript: Crush Ribs — Parametric Press-Fit Ribs for Cylindrical Holes
Hi everyone, I’ve been taking my first real steps in proper 3D modeling (I came from Tinkercad, so this was a big jump for me 😅), and I wanted to share something useful that came out of that learning process. I wrote a FeatureScript called Crush Ribs — a fully parametric tool for generating wedge-shaped crush ribs inside…

Bending a wire mesh sheet
I have created a configurable (welded square) mesh sheet, configurable by width, depth, wire gauge and wire pitch. My sheet is e.g. 600x600 mm, wire 1.4mm, wire pitch 25 mm. I now want to bend the sheet, not reconstruct, but bend it along a crossing axis. Can this be done in Onshape? I need to create various parts of…

Dual Dimensions in part studio and measure tool?
As far as I can tell there is no option for dual dimensions in the part studio sketches or within the measure tool. While searching for this function I found a forum post stating that onshape is working on it, and even a improvement request that was marked complete in 2021. However I cannot find dual dimensions in anything…
