Is anyone using CAM Studio Yet? I'm having a challenging time.
Hello, I teach high school manufacturing and am switching my classes from Fusion to OnShape. I really like OnShape CAM in Part Studio. But now we are trying to use CAM Studio and it is really kicking our butts. So far I have been teaching students how to set up a job in CAM Studio and we have made it all the way through…

Enclose Surfaces Question
So I have created a cover for a model boat motor. I am very new to surfacing, so I'm sure there are better ways to accomplish this. I got roughly the shape that I'm after. At that point I'm actually just trying to thicken it to 5mm thick. I'm able to enclose it and turn it into a part without errors, but I can't get all of…

How to add a "floating" mate connector
When I move the mouse pointer around to choose a location for the mate connector I am about to add, Onshape highlights the "candidate points" (in lack of a better name) on the face under the pointer. And as long as that point is on the actual face, I can easily get to it. But sometimes the point I am interested in is…

How to hide the frame and name of a sketch in the workspace?
Hello,I also use onshape to create 2D geometry and this works fine just drawing a sketch and then generate a drawing from it. What I find annoying is that you cannot hide the rectangular frame and name of the active scetch in the workspace. When I do such 2D drawings I always hide the main planes (front,...) so they do not…

Looking for violin scroll example
i’m trying to model the basic shaped of a violin scroll. I don’t need to add all the detail because I intend to finish the scroll by hand. I have a 2D drawing of the outline and on the height of the scroll along the helix. I assume I would do this with a loft and a 3-D fit spline. I’m just stuck. Any help would be…

How to remove several constraints at a time?
I often want to revisit a previous design and make small changes, tune the dimensions, etc. But every time I do that, it ends up over constraining the sketch, or some similar issue. How can I remove all (or several selected) constraints in a sketch, all in one go? As opposed to clicking every single one and do it…

curve meeting edge, but not a fillet
Hey there, I'm new to CAD, new to Onshape. Been through a few tutorials, looked through the forums. Looking for guidance on a good way to model the below. It's a rounded edge, but the circle meets the rectangle at a point. So it's not a fillet, not a chamfer. I'm guessing there's lots of ways to potentially do this. What…

Help with animation
Hi, wanting to animate of how to assemble a connector….so wire pushes through a locking mechanism which then closes from being like 60 degrees open, back to 0, then the insulation is cut off to expose the wire, then a protective cap goes over the end to protect the wire. They are all cyclindrical and connect in a straight…

Part history error
Today I encountered a strange issue with part history. To baseline, I am proficient with onshape, use it professionally, and am the admin for my company for the time being. I have a fairly complex document that I have been working in for some weeks. Today I spent part of the day working on one part studio, building it out…

Problems with Onshape
Hello, Our team is encountering an issue with Onshape where assemblies won’t load, and one person appears multiple times in the same assembly. We have about seven people collaborating on different mechanisms, and this is making it nearly impossible to get any work done. This is our first year using Onshape, and we haven’t…

Looking for some help with release packages in the API
I've been digging into the API to manage our CAD data and I've been fairly successful in building a client that can access assembly BOMs, read/edit metadata, export files, etc. I've run into a roadblock with trying to generate release packages. This section of the API does not seem well documented. I have several questions…

Pattern (fill) across adjacent faces vs. merge adjacent faces.
I am interested in recreating this pattern of a lattice across multiple adjacent faces. My difficulty is in duplicating the way the lattice conforms to the bends/fillets. Performing the straightforward sketch-extrude-fillet sequence results in multiple adjacent faces and presumably I need to build this as one surface (I…

Frame Tags - Why do tagged profiles not appear in the Frame feature?
We are trying to build a custom library of existing profiles used in our products. When I tag a sketch and try to use it as a Frame profile in a separate document, the tagged profile doesn't show up. I can only see the original sketch. I have tried versioning the profile once tagged and I am obviously using these in a…

New FeatureScript: 8020 Profile Generator
Hi, all: We continue to find that FeatureScript is a really powerful way to make Onshape easy to use. We've created a FeatureScript that can generate all 80/20 Inc(c) profile sections ( all 111 of them). Using this feature, you can extrude any length of any profile you wish. Multiple point extrudes are supported as well.…

Bug while exporting a transformed STEP file: non-manifold edges
Hi, I'm new here. In case this post is double.. I wrote it once, but it didn't appear. Hopefully this one will. I have a model that works fine if exported as STEP file until I add a final transform/rotate to it (so it is already oriented in the way that seems best for printing it). However, once I add the transform/rotate,…
