How can I modify a flange so that the two side faces are aligned to parallel planes?
Here's an image of the desired part geometry as a reference: I would like to model this as a sheet metal part, but I'm not sure how to create identical geometry with the flange feature. Here are the existing flange feature details: It appears that when deselecting "hold adjacent edges", the effect is only applied to the…

Beginner question: How to use lines along with 3D-models?
Hey community! ✌️ I'm quite new to OS and 3D-printing (hobby). So far I touched the surface of OS by YT-tutorials and my first 3D constructions. Now I got stuck in using lines along with extruding these. I assume I have to "convert" lines to an area (e.g. rectangle) in order to extrude them. In my case this can be very…

FeatureScript question. allowing variable names with/without spaces
In Onshape's native variable features, there's a verifyVariableName feature that a.o. checks if variable names already exist as a different type of variable (like query ~). moreover it will throw an error if it contains spaces, which forces us tot type with dashes or underscores etc (camel, snake, Pascal or kebab or…

Custom Feature: Loft Fillet
Because of @EvanReese's series on equations, variables, etc. in Onshape, I ended up getting sucked into the FeatureScript rabbit hole. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I'm not a real programmer, but I'm still pretty happy with coming up with something that'll automate a pain point in my CAD workflows. Plus, then I get to share…

Allowing for mate connector selection. What's the correct syntax?
I'm testing out different query types and wanted to allow for users to select a Mate Connector. However, when I wrote out: Filter" : EntityType.BODY && (…|| BodyType.MATE_CONNECTOR), the feature dialog doesn't allow for mate connector selection or show the mate connector symbol until I add || AllowMeshGeometry.NO as well.…

opExtendSheetBody missing from documentation
Several times in the standard library documentation, a reference to opExtendSheetBody is used, e.g. for extendSurface (context is Context, id is Id, definition is map) Extends a surface body by calling opExtendSheetBody. But the entry for opExtendSheetBody itself is actually missing. I'm not sure whether this is the…

Understanding Managed In-Context Design, In context design within a doc, step 28
I have to admit (and hate to) that I'm stumped. I have spent 15 hours on this one step on 3 days, but can't get the bracket modification fully defined. All the lines of the sketch are black, but I need to add to dimensions to get that, which aren't present in the slide in the tutorial. The feature still shows not Fully…

New Dude Having Problems with Copying Parts
I am new to OnShape but with SolidWorks experience. I am trying to create an assembly of various modeled parts. The main part (SOTA Main Chassis) is a simple 1/2" thick wood part with a hole pattern in it of approx 30 holes of various sizes. Two other pieces assemble onto it with the same hole pattern. My approach was to…

Adaptive Finger Joints for Streamlined Design of Laser-Cut Structures
The worst part about designing laser-cut structures in SolidWorks is CADing all of the finger joints between components; even if you use a boolean for half, you need to CAD or pattern one side, and neither is all that nice. Since I dabble in programming (and wanted an excuse to script something), I took a hack at making a…

How do I constrain only 1 degree of freedom?
I'm new to Onshore (coming from Inventor and Solidworks, and I generally like the mate connectors for constraining things together just cause you can lock all 3 degrees of freedoms with a single constraint. However, I'm trying to layout furniture in a room and it would be nice if I could do an Autodesk Inventory style mate…

How to get changes to sheet format to apply across the whole doument?
I have a large technical drawings pack in onshape and I have realised there is a mistake in the titleblock. Is there a way to edit the title block and have it apply over the whole document similar to 'edit sheet format' in Solidworks, rather than having to edit each sheet individually? In my opinion, elements on the title…

I just pushed an update to the excellent Super Derive feature by @ilya_baran with 2 new options: * Use origin - on by default, will use the origin of the Part Studio as before. Turned off, will use the first mate connector of the first derived part. * Include mate connectors - off by default, will not derive the part's…

New CNC Overcuts (/Dogbones) custom feature
I wrote a new FeatureScript for adding overcuts (dogbones) to all corners of a part that need them to make the part CNC machinable. I am aware that there are existing custom features for this, but I believe this one is a bit simpler to use, and adds a couple new features. You simply select the parts that you want overcuts…
