Help me design an Astrié Grain Mill !
Help needed! I am a mechanical engineer with a problem, when I do something I want to do it right, with purpose and in the best way possible. And the more I dig into a problem, or challenge, the more I discover things are not as simple as they seemed. I've been making bread at home for about 10 years now but only recently…

Custom Feature Icon for Dark Mode
I've noticed that std features seem to have two different icons - one for dark mode and one for light mode. Is there some secret to making this work with custom feature icons? For instance, see below how the Derived and Sketch feature change colors, but all that happens to the custom icons is the changed background comes…

Wrap a solid part around a cylinder then boolean remove it
Hi guys, I'm new to cad, so excuse if the question is a bit dumb, but for the life of me I cannot find an answer. I'm trying to remove a part that would wrap around a cylinder. I have designed a (flat) part, that I want to wrap around a cylinder, than remove it from the cylinder. What I have tried: Designing flat part, on…

Extrude problem within a loop
I try to make a feature script that takes a json file with parameters and executes some extrudes in a for loop. That works until a certain index, where it crashes with a EXTRUDE_NO_SELECTED_REGION error. If I instead create new parts, it finds some regions.…

Tangent Mate is bistable (and I don't need it to be)
I'm using tangent mate because the two objects make contact at curved points on both parts. The first image is how I'd like it to be mated, but if I click and drag it to the left or right, it will pop over to the other constrained position. I understand WHY it's bistable, I just dont want it to be. Is there another mate I…

Most recent part studio gone - restore from history not working
I created a part yesterday and this morning it is gone. It shows up in the history along with the commands, but when I click on a history element to view it, it doesn't show anything. Going as far back as the creation of the part studio doesn't show its creation. I'm baffled that it seems to be stuck in a glitch. I made…

Unable to clock gears
I have been trying for hours to get these gears to clock. The 8 farthest gears are all their own individual mechanisms (banks). All parts are equal across the machine. The front most gears on the long green shaft are for timing the machine (Timing shaft). When I use "gear relation" to mesh the gears, they mesh fine… and if…

Perforate a cylindrical shape
I have this model I'm working on and I'd like to perforate the dark blue part with a pattern of hexagons. I know you can't user the pattern feature on curves. And I'm struggling to find a way to project the shape and repeat, because of the nature of the curved part. Anybody have a good suggestion? Thanks

Featurescript: Square Sweep
I modified Konstantin S's circle sweep document for my own personal use because I needed a square version for some of my builds and I couldn't find a feature script that did that; I'm posting it here just so anyone else can also benefit from this. I'm currently in highschool and am fairly new to feature script so please…

Why is it not possible to "Derive" a part from "Standard content"?
Is this an oversight, or is there a good reason why data in the library from "Standard content" cannot be derived into a Part Studio? Note: When a part is imported from an external supplier via an Onshape App its geometry can be modified and it can be derived.

Possible to rename a part included in an assembly?
The scenario: I've included 4 references to a wheel part in my assembly and I'd like to give each a meaningful name: front_left, front_right, etc. I don't see the option to "rename" an instance the popup menu. Is this not possible? Thank you.

Sweeping a profile around body while keeping profile normal and tangent to face of body?
I can usually figure this stuff out but this one has me stumped. I have a revolved body (a spindle of sorts) and I'm trying to cut a V-notch the length of the spindle, while that notch rotates 3/4 away around the body. I've tried several ways, but none of the ways seem to get me what I need. I've looked around the forums…

Routing curve, how to wrap around control points instead of cutting the corner
I want to model a thin control cable from a servo that routes through pulley, bellcranks, etc. So I'm using polyline with control points that are the mate connectors of the pulleys, and then setting the radius to whatever the pulley radius would be. BUT, the radius cuts the corner. Is there a setting to make the curve go…

Mate overdefines the assembly
I am trying to make it so that the three steps are connected to the two beams either side with revolute mates. This way if one of the steps is rotated the other two rotate with it. But when I go to do the very last revolute mate it says that it overdefines the assembly. Whats going wrong?…
