Help using a 3D Scanned STL surface, to split a part, or use in any meaningful way as a tool ???
Just got a 3D scanner, and one of my main uses is to make a scan that I want to import into OnShape, and then use that imported scan to split, or remove from a part. So that the part has a shape that will fit to the oddly shaped surface of the scanned item. For example, scan a wrench, and remove that shape from a rectangle…

Featurescript to automate creation of entities with varying settings
Hello, I've been fighting with how to do this for some time, I know in the time I've spent I could have just hand modelled the solution, but I keep thinking there MUST be a way to do this… I have a reasonably complex profile, in a sketch (artistic, hand drawn). Aspects of the profile (some lengths, and offsets via…

sheet metal offset
Hi, I am trying to see if there is away to off set and edge on which i want to create a flange. We have recently switch over for SW ()20+ years in SW) SW allows you to have an offset with the flange tool. So if you need the fold to be past a certain point you can add an offset. I also tried to extrude that edge as a…

How to form a Helix along a 3D curve
I have a bent tube of the same diameter that has turns. I'd like to create a helix that follows the center line of the tube. I can't figure out either to create a curve/spline from the center point of the tube and/or create a Helix that follows the center line or follows the tube.

Problem with patterning an extrude cut hole around a conical sheet metal part.
Hello I have a part which I am working on. It is 2 pieces of 1.2mm mild steel which will be welded together to form a cone. It has various holes running around the top and bottom for rivets which will be laser cut into the flattened pieces. I want to make sure that the holes are dimensionally accurate on the 2D drawing/DXF…

Is tool diameter compensation available in CAM Studio?
I do not see mention of G41/G42 diameter compensation mentioned in the training docs or in options in Studio. Is this, or will this be, available? Also, it seems there is very little activity in the forum. Is this still the correct place to ask questions?

Where can I find the meaning of the number in the transform property from the API?
Hello, I am doing a prototype with the OnShape API for an internship, which involves showing an assembly in GLTF on another webpage. So far I've been able to work my way through the API except this. When I get the data for an assembly I get a occurrences.transform property that looks like this: <div>transform: [</div><div>…

Max Spacing Linear Pattern
Sometimes you want a pattern to span a known distance using the fewest instances that are spaced within a maximum allowable distance Also known as 'the ladder problem'. As the length of the ladder increases, the rung spacing increases until a maximum spacing is reached and at that point an additional rung is introduced and…

3D printing models at different scales
Hi, Is there a recommended workflow to produce an onshape model which can be exported at different scales? It might be necessary to tweak some dimensions to suit the scaling to ensure reliable prints. Does this need to be designed in with dimensions and configurations, or at least partly so, or is there a better way? Thank…

Feature linear Pattern one element dissapears
I have a feature pattern of 4 instances of the part inside a cutout in a part., and when I am making the pattern I see all 4, but when I OK the pattern the 4 vanishes. If I set the instance count to 5, it skips that one (skip is not checked) Here is after hitting the green check: I have the timeline rolled to the pattern,…

How can I reset the appearance of parts in a part studio?
I'm trying to use Part Color by @EvanReese and it works great, but for a certain configuration the colors set by Part Color get overridden and I can't figure out how to make it stop doing that. I think I had set an appearance earlier on and now I can't remove those colors. Config 1 - Takes the colors set by Part Color in…

Engraving on drawing
Hi! I currently have a logo (dxf) placed on one of my parts as a 0.1mm cutout. This is looking good on the drawing, but to clarify exactly what needs to be engraved, I'd like to fill this in. This is the logo: Hatch region seemed like a good idea, but that fills in the ampersand completely: An additional problem is that it…

Rotate extrude along sweep path axis! (wire rope)
Hi, I have made a wire rope wich follow a spline/sweep function. But the rope must twist along the sweep axis. In a straight line I get it done with the helix function, but not with the bend (sp)line in the sweep function. You can see in the example that i am using a FS to make a helix accros the sweeppath, but that is not…

STL export - tapped hole threads not showing up in 3d print slicer
Title says it all. I've made a simple tap handle with a threaded 3/8-16 hole to directly screw onto a tap. The intent is to 3d print the part with the threads integral to the part. It exports fine but the threads are not showing up in the slicer and thus will not print. If fact, the threads do not show up in the Onshape…

I always end up with a 0.63-degree…
