Hello, weird interaction I'm fighting: Connecting a line to spine using a tangent constraint removes the face of the sketch. Unsure if it's a bug or something I'm unintentionally doing is causing it to happen. Any suggestions?

Hello! I work as a lab tech in the engineering department at a CC and I have been looking for ways to help my students get set up for prototyping on our specific manufacturing equipment more seamlessly. We have a CAD class that teaches onshape, and several intro to engineering courses that involve students developing a…

I am working on a project - Designing a racecar (LMDh category if curious). Problem/Question: I am trying to cut into the [insert correct terminology here] but in a way that it cuts more evenly into the extrude, rather than simply cutting it from one direction. I'd like to make that space for curved headlights + an extra…

I have all my students signed up with an individual OnShape account. They have gone to the Learning Center and began taking the lessons and the tutorials. How can they log into OnShape and obtain a drawing surface (screen) where they would be able to create a new sketch and manipulate it on the screen using the various…

Although I am a veteran CAD user, I have no access to paid CAD (ex. Solidworks), so I'm new to Onshape CAD and 3d printing. I'm disabled and trying to design and 3d print a adjustable straw for my wheelchair. I've gathered my design knowledge, which will use… 1/4PT Flexible Oil Coolant Pipe Hose Silicone Tubing Now, I can…

-Link to feature up front- Look, standard sweeps are boring. They have no drama. They have no torque. They just follow the path like a good little obedient feature. I got tired of it. So I made Tweep. It’s a Sweep. It Twists. It’s Tweep. Do you want your geometry to look like a churro that gave up on life? Do you need a…

Ive tried differnet computers and i have fairly good wifi and also i deleted cookies and forced reload my error codes each time is e14f96724ba55a1f3232efe2

As the title says. Is there any way to derive the sketches (as sketches, not extracted curves) made by a custom feature?

Looking to insert a rivet into a multi part studio to check clearance.....I see references to "Standard Content"....but can not seem to find it.......I searched "learning center" and "Standard Content".....I expect it is a derived part....much of the public content is in assemblies.....Is it part of the Onshape data ...is…

Whenever I look at my teams designs I sometimes hide components and rotate the view or even move components to understand the design. What is the easiest way to return the mode to the way it was when I opened it?

problem: I have a side view to define the side shape of my part, on top I can define a profile with the top view sketch. Now I need a sketch to define the profile on the bottom of the part I want to create. For this reason, the sketch plane has to move to the bottom line of my side view sketch. Unfortunally, this line is…

I'm trying to 3d print a mini Badminton keychain. How am I supposed to create these strings in the racket in onshape?

If I select the sketch in the sidebar, I do not find any way to move the sketch.If I clicknear the sketch, a orange colored rectangle is opened depending to moves of my mouse. The same happens when I try to catch the Centerpoint of the sketch. If I try to select the geometry, it changes color to orange but I cannot move…

Title says it all. I see owner listed, but I cannot see a way to search by owner.

Link to Hershey Text I have seen a few improvement requests related to adding single line fonts for CNC engraving. After some research I found these 31 single line or "Hershey Fonts" available online here, and an explanation on how to decode them. I converted the data into a CSV for FeatureScript to interpret and tried to…

My first play with the Analysis feature of OnShape. I have a simple structure which is a composite beam consisting of two elements (upper and lower) having different properties, fastened together with bolts. The load is applied to the lower element, but only the upper element is supported at each end. I am ultimately…

Prologue: This is a long one, but I feel like the background of my thought process will be helpful communicating my question and I'm hoping that someone here can help me wrap my head around how in-context works. Inciting Problem: My goal was to make a featurescript that evaluates using a query that automatically includes…

Hi I am new to using the custom feature for wiring created in OnShape. I have been stumped because I am unsure what I am doing wrong. Importing the CSV that I made from Excel works fine, but I keep getting the regeneration error when I try to import Wire Data into the Part Studio. I have already created a Variable Studio…

This update introduces a host of new productivity enhancements to better streamline your experience in Onshape. CAD Persistent Center of Mass for Part Studio & Drawings Users can now make the center of mass persistently visible for any part in a Part studio allowing for independent and permanent visibility. This feature…

I'd like to be able to highlight geometry for user reference while they're editing a FeatureScript but without impacting the overall regeneration performance. The closest way I know of doing this is with debug(), but that adds ~1ms regeneration per face or vector and ~6ms per direction even during normal part regeneration…

Hey Guys, I have encountered a problem, where I have the inner part of the bearing connected to a rod via cylindrical mate and the outer part of the bearing, to be more specific the plane area with the bore holes, must be parallel to the marked side of the servomotor, no planar mate. In theory this connection must work,…

Hi, I’m currently working on creating various jigs for parts that we manufacture. This works well for solid parts using Boolean operations, but I would like to achieve the same result with hollow parts, as shown in the picture. Is there a way to create only the imprint of the outer or inner surface of a hollow part, rather…

I am trying to use Gemini for feature script creation and it has not been awesome. I have tried up to 5 iterations where I feed OnShape errors back into Gemini to fix, and not been successful. Someone told me he had to run 40 iterations! Is this other people's experience? How many debug iterations do you run?

Would anyone know when we can expect further functionality within the hole feature to include BSPP BSPT and NPT threads? 

This is the first drawing I have attempted and cannot figure out how to add two bends to it. I've tried some of the tutorials and something is just not clicking.

I am currently working on this part. The idea that I'm trying to make work is for the end of the gray part to be parallel to the face of the blue part as the angle of the blue part changes. I made a plane parallel to the blue part's face and drew the sketch on it. It looked good until the angle rotated past 135 degrees.…

Is it possible to add labels to documents for the whole company? We would like to label them as "To Quote", "Active Quote", etc. and have them searchable by all.

Hello the all knowing onshape forums.. I've been trying everything I know and I still encounter this error, even after pouring through many past forums. I have this sketch of a partial Welsh dragon which is going to be included in my project, however when I attempt to extrude it, it states 'Extrude 1 did not regenerate…

Ich habe mir ein Objekt erstellt welches ich unter einem anderen Namen ablegen möchte, damit ich Änderungen entgegen des ersten Objektes erstellen kann, ohne dass das erste Objekt geändert wird. Wie gelingt mir das? Vielen Dank für die Antworten
