Can I Configure an External Thread's Size and Pitch?
I have a model of a threaded rod that is configured in both length and diameter. The challenge I'm facing is that I cannot get the size and pitch to follow the diameter of the threaded rod. I get the tool tip "this feature does not support being configured". I don't really want to have a bunch of suppressed External Thread…

Can the "subassembly BOM behaviour" property be overridden for a particular category?
By default, the subassembly BOM behavior is always set to include part For welded assemblies or other joined assemblies, we would like to have a category where the behavior is set to show assembly only. Is there a way to do this?

How to make sure part property changes made from an assembly BOM stick?
My company added a new Customer-Facing-Name property for parts, so I'm having to edit the properties for hundreds of parts. I started doing it from the BOM of a top level assembly to save time. However, I noticed after moving on to another assembly (which shares parts) that some of the parts I had already given Customer…

Slow Selection Speed
I have started noticing an issue with speed while trying to "group" select elements on a sketch by dragging a selection area over elements. It is taking a very long time for the selection to show selected. So long in fact, that even the wait circle will stop moving and the application becomes inactive. I will get…

Drawing
I would like to make a 3D animal. I would usually trace a picture then extrude it but I don't want to do that I want it round and realistic. How would I do that? (I have no document to attach.)

Is there an auto update on in context sketch/parts?
Howdy All, I have a shackle assembly that includes a tether rope (see below). The rope was created using in-context sketches that project the sketch location. There are two sizes of the shackle assembly, each with its own configurations for the body and pin. However, the rope was created without configurations. The issue:…

Bug in line tool?
I have a video and a link to file But why on earth does it behave like this or am I st*pid? Main question, why does the middle point lane , that's connected to the center point of the line thats made with offset tool. Why does this Middle point line change the length of the offsetted line not just extend the line staying…

any "unique sculpting" scripts?
I've been on the lookout for scripts that can add "uniqueness" or "life" to some models. To explain my question: This is "wood grain" script (mainly used to "show" that a part is "wood-like") But if you don't use it for its "Intended Purposes" you can make intresting models… If you know any script that have such…

How to make loft follow guidelines on edge?
Hi there, I'm trying to make an F-35, but have some issues with the front portion. I've created a loft, and added guidelines using 3D fit splines which go from vertex to vertex. However, when I add this as a guideline to the loft, it doesn't touch the curve at all! Additionally, when I pierce the curve, and connect a…

Why can't I get Transform Tool To Show on the RIght Click Menu?
When ever I click my sketch and they right click it, it shows "Edit Sketch" at top of menu but there's no "transform" option. I have seen countless videos of using the transform tool but can't figure out how to get it to show up.

Challenges App - Multi Step
I recently came across the Challenges App in OnShape and am enjoying it. However while doing my first multi-step challenge I ran into a problem. After completing the first step of the challenge successfully I moved on to step2. While working step 2 I was logged out somehow and needed to log back into OnShape. However, upon…

How do I change how onshape names my sheet metal flat patterns when I export them?
example: I export a flat pattern to DXF to nest and cut on a laser table. the file is exported as the project name, great, and then the files show as "project name - Flat Pattern of Part name" I would like the files to just be named "Part name"

Wood grain texture Custom Feature
Often when modeling furniture and other objects created from wood I want to communicate the orientation of the wood grain on a part. This eliminates confusion when creating the parts in the workshop. To solve this I created a Wood grain texture custom feature! This low resolution feature is intended to demonstrate the…

Shadow from point source?
Hey! Does anyone know if there are featurescripts out there that generate a shadow of a part from a point source? I've tried all of the related featurescripts (Shadow, Outline, Project Body), but they all seem to project the edges of a part from a planar light source as opposed to a point source. I can certainly do this…

New Custom Feature: Animate
Onshape's Animate feature can only animate one mate at a time. Adding gear relations between mates can make animations more interesting, but if you need an animation showing a sequence of events, then there is no easy way to achieve this other than using the amazing (but manual) technique developed by @john_mcclary This…

Displacement boundary condition?
Hey, I try to start using FE simulation tool in assembly. Looks good, but I really miss a way to define a displacement (instead of force) as a boundary condition. Is there a way to do this? Is it hidden somewhere? Or is it planned to be added in a few days...? Thanks for your help.

Imported a Solidworks assembly zip. Copied & modded a part. Assembly is gone.
I imported a display case sliding glass door assembly zip into Onshape. I needed to make 3D printed jigs so I can router out slots and holes in a real life scenario. I was doing the work in Solidworks with a perpetual license but decided to give onshape a test since this is an important project and I wanted to put Onshape…

Export to 3mf does not export the NPT thread
I've created a simple model, with a hole tapped with NPT 3/4" - 14 TPI. I need this 3D printed, so exported in to 3mf (Prusa slicer). In the Prusa slicer the thread is not modelled. Questions: 1: what am I doing wrong to get the thread exported? 2: why is the thread not tapered in the design in onshape (bottom diameter is…
