Fillet errors
I have done a filet successfully before on a corner, as shown in the first pic. Now I want to do the exact same thing after I changed a few dimensions, and I am running into errors, and I cannot figure out why. The name of what is selected seems different, but i am selecting the same line….

Regeneration time is slow, but also not consistent - What gives?!
I have a relatively complicated real product that is ready to go to market. I had designed most of the enclosure in a single part studio with over 200 features, but it was getting slow. I don't have any crazy patterned geometry or any particularly complex sketches. I duplicated the part studio a handful of times for each…

Anyone have an FS that can convert a decimal length to a (reduced) fractional equivalent
I know people in the metric (most of) world are going to be like "huh?" but I'm trying to match a convention to build a part description parametrically… I was hoping Pascoe's "variable to string" FS would do it but it doesn't include that function, which tells me it's not super trivial so I thought I would ask if anyone…

Lofting
He team supreme, been a while that I've used loft and gosh knows I was most likely lofting something dead simple so may be some of my issue. Anyway, I've shared this with OnShape as well as here is the link…

Not a Feature: Luminary Cloud Import Checkpoint
As I develop custom features, I try to stay at the forefront of what new features people publish but recently the public search filters have been crowded with part studios and assemblies that have no featurescript whatsoever inside of them. They all have a release titled "Luminary Cloud Import Checkpoint" which I assume is…

Fonts
Why are some fonts not available in Onshape's drawing properties? I can access Allerta when sketching, but not when selecting a font for detailing a drawing. Is this the experience for everyone, or have a missed something?

Simplest possible loft, but can't apply shell
Cat Slow Feeder Insert | Part Studio 1 This seems like a pretty simple geometry, but the shell feature fails. What am I doing wrong here? TIA, Frank

Can robust complex surfaces be modelled.
I was having a discussion with an industrial designer about advance surfacing, and if he believed it would be possible to produce robust designs that allow us to have variables that control final outputs. E.g. We can have configuration tables driving all the sub versions of a master design. First this concept seemed like a…

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?

Can anyone tell me why I can't loft this again? They are both surface lofts, if I do solid they generate, but surface do not.

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.)

Create a solid part from Surfaces/Composite Parts
Hi all, I have a surfaces/composite part model that I want to turn into a single solid so I can create cut outs. Anyone know how I can do this? File is below. Thanks in advance https://cad.onshape.com/documents/21b70d3354c4cef991db9e6f

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.Â

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…
