Movement simulation in sketches (grouping sketches)
To design the geometry of parts of a folding leg and other parts, I need to be able to group sketch entities. Like the frame, the unfolded leg and a folded leg (sketch copy/paste into new sketch) The folded leg sketch now contains the leg in blue, but parts move all around, they are not like a fixed block. When I lock the…

Onshape Stuck not showing feature tree
Hi, While modifying a dimension on a part, onshape suddenly froze up as seen in the screenshot below along with the following error: Onshape encountered a problem with your last operation. If the problem persists, contact support. Support code 59a13a3290a2cb860f3e8c0a. I am unable to access the feature tree. It seems to be…

Angled spars through ribs
Hi all, I have a spar (orange) which is notched into ribs (blue). The spar is not perpendicular to the ribs and so the notches in the ribs have angled faces. The ribs will be cut by 2D laser cutter so it is not possible to cut those angled faces. The notch faces would need to follow the red dots in the image below. The…

Custom Feature: Keep Part
-Link to feature up front- I can't believe I never posted about this one. You guys know Delete Part? This feature is nothing like that. Use it on really gross imports with a billion objects you don't care about. Probably don't use it for any other reason.

Sketch "Use tool" (project geometry) cannot serve as an anchor
Hi, I come from Fusion 360, where I got in the habit of using the "project geometry onto sketch" feature. I figured I could do the same in OnShape, but it doesn't appear that "Use" is meant for the same thing. Here are the problems i'm encountering when I use the "use" feature in OnShape: the projected geometry is…

Somehow filter out default planes when using qEverything()
I have a little customized delete feature that lets me delete from the part studio the inverse of what is selected. Sometimes I will import data and there will be alot of stuff in the part studio. So, I derive the studio into other ones and I use this inverses delete feature to select the parts I want to keep and delete…

Can anyone show me how to properly use opLoft Connections?
Link to Onshape doc I'm trying to create a loft with a two sets of edges that have a different edge count to add additional functionality to Loft Fillet. I'm not quite sure I understand how to use the connections portion of opLoft correct. I'm selecting one group of edges, querying for the endpoints, and then using…

Why is Extrude Remove previewing correctly, then failing, but showing no errors anywhere ?
This should be a really simple project - make a box using flat panels with a couple of shelves inserted into slots. I created an end panel (flat 6mm sheet) and then try to remove 3 slots (3mm deep) by drawing a sketch on the top surface of the panel and then simply extrude remove 3mm down. Everything previews Ok but when I…

Creating Sheet Metal Object via Feature Script
Hi All, When I create a sheet Metal object via feature script. In the sheet Metal Context window, It shows "Unknown" instead of the usual "Sheet metal model 1"… How do we control this behavior in featurescript? Thanks in advance!!!

DXF Import Tools FeatureScript?
Was going through the always fun Inkscape → DXF import → sketch process and thought there might be a way to streamline it. Is there a FS that will apply sketch constraints based on rules and tolerances? Some examples Make points within xmm of each other coincident. Make lines less than x degrees off axis vertical or…

How can I add text in a Sketch that contains a Caron (e.g., Unicode U+030C (ǒ))?
When I attempt to add text to a part which contains a letter with a Caron (e.g., Unicode U+030C (ǒ)), the resulting text appears as a small square instead of the actual letter. Are there Unicode characters in OnShape that can't be drawn?

video delivery speed
I have a hearing problem that manifests itself in speech that is delivered to quickly doesn't get processed. I am a veteran and have had hearing problems for 40 years. Youtube works because I can slow the delivery speed to 0.75 (usually where I set it) or even slower if the speaker has an accent that makes word distinction…

Publications searchable by PN.
I'd like to restrict my purchasing and other misc. teams to only view publications. While easy, I cannot find a way that would allow them to search a part number in order to find the publication it's in. Ex: Purchaser needs to buy PN369, purchaser searches 369, nothing comes up. Is it required they just…know where it is?

inspection items after a release
hello, I can not change the inspection items numbers after a release. The numbers stay grey and con not be re-ordered. I can only delete them and start with a number higher than the highest previous item number. I want to start with nr 1 again. Is there a solution for this without starting a new drawing?

Weird bump when using loft for airframe
Hey there, so I've been running crazy with this problem; I've tried several things without success. So when using the loft feature on this design, first I cannot do it all with just one loft, had to divide it into 2. Also, I end up with a weird bump that I don't know where it comes from on the bottom. Please help me link:…

Trouble with sketch constraints on Text fields
For my first project with Onshape, I am trying to modify an object by adding text to it in a repeating circular manner. I understand that the text entity cannot be part of a circular pattern so this is not my issue. I want each text object to be different anyway (days of the week). To have the text correctly positioned…

My code is of this form: var theColor is Color = color(1, 0, 1); setProperty(context, { "entities" : facesToColor, "propertyType" : PropertyType.APPEARANCE, "value" : theColor }); Should the FS…

opBoolean() with BooleanOperationType.INTERSECTION fails with @opBoolean: BOOLEAN_BAD_INPUT
Hello Helpful Onshapers! I want to use opBoolean() to "take a bite" out of a solid model. I imagine that this should be done in two steps: 1. Use BooleanOperationType.INTERSECTION to create a "mouthful" of the target 2. Use BooleanOperationType.SUBTRACTION to remove that mouthful I then plan to put the body created in step…

Old/New custom feature: Intersect+ (a.k.a. Subtract complement)
This feature is so easy to code that there are probably many of them, but due to custom feature's being hard to search/find and names aren't always as clear, I did so once over a while back. I just took the effort to add an icon, a pdf and publish it so it might be easier to find for others: Intersect+ (a.k.a. Subtract…

Measure Density by Area rather than Volume
You're probably wondering what the use case here is. Cardboard boxes. Because of the fluting it's not a homogeneous material and trying to approximate a volume density is not the most accurate way of doing it. You have a sheet metal part, and I'd like to apply a density value to the total area of the box. When I go to…
