Onshape API: How to get the source Part (Part ID like #JFD) of a Derived part?
Hi all, I’m trying to determine—via API—from which exact source Part a given Derived part was created. Concretely, I want the short Part ID from the source Part Studio (e.g., #JFD), not just the document/element pointers. What I’ve checked so far I can read the target Part Studio’s feature list (GET…

Is there a feature script for optimizing holes for 3D printing?
I'm trying to find a feature script for turning standard holes into adapted holes for FDM (FFF) 3D printing when they are aligned parallel to the build platform. The goad would be to avoid defects such as the picture below where the hole top is done in overhang: By using a simple teardrop design: Has anybody seen / used…

How to prevent merging of different frames when they touch
Hi all, I have created a simple frame and then built parts on top of it (all in the same Part Studio). The main frame in red has been created using a rectangle in a sketch then the Frame feature with ISO rectangular tube. The tube 1 in green has been created from another sketch using a single line. I have used variables to…

Standard notes and tables in drawings.
We have a number if standard notes and tables we sometimes use (but not always). Is there any way to include these in the drawing template or save/copy them from somewhere so we don't have to continually re-create them? I haven't found an easy solution yet. Thanks for any help.

Transforming sketch causes inner loops not to be selected when extruding
Hi There I'm new to featurescript and was experimenting with placing text in a sketch. I was specifically trying to extrude text but couldn't get the inner loops to extrude, eventually I found the issue was caused when the sketch had been transformed. I've created a very short function below to show the issue where the…

Fillet complex corner
Hi. Does anyone have an idea how to fillet this corner? Or how to recreate the ribbing in any other way? I´m trying to add the ribbing to the part in the first part studio of this document. My lack of skill led me to creating it from scratch but I´m now stuck on this corner not wanting to fillet.…

trying to do the Hands-On Test Drive Part Studios, Assem. & Drawings/Part Studio Interface tutorial
In this tutorial one is apparently supposed to follow along doing the modifications to the parts as shown in the videos, though this isn't explicitly directed. I have spent the last 6 hours trying to find the CAD files that are being modified to follow along, but have had no success. I have gone through the Public files,…

Printable Fillets
I made a custom feature to easily implement printable fillets, aka fillets that have a slightly sharper transition to the faces than a standard tangential fillet, to enable more accurate 3D printing. This is my first attempt at something like this, and constructive feedback is very welcome.…

Trying to create a helix with a starting point
I'm reasonably new to OnShape and trying to improve my skills. I'm testing myself with threads and having difficulty trying to specify a starting point for a helix. The picture shows a point which I've placed on sketch 1 which is a specific distance above the red line (red). When I try to specify that point as the start of…

Rotate entire string of text on a plane
I have completed placing the text in the sidewall of the tire with the FeaturScript Surface Text, but I would like to rotate it so the "G" begins where the "D" in the word radial is. Not sure if the Wrap Tool will accomplish this. Thought I would put it out there before I went further.

opIntersectFaces curves don't create extrudable region
I'm trying to write a FeatureScript that takes a part in the shape of a wing dissected by an array of planes. The intersection of the wing at each plane is then extruded to create a series of ribs. The curves that I get from opIntersectFaces aren't in the sketch I create, and the curves don't form a region that can be…

Exporting a sketch as a DXF?
Hi everyone - I am somewhat competent with OnShape and creating basic 3D things but I am struggling with a new project I am working on. I want to make some cribbage boards on irregularly shaped wood using my laser to mark the dots on the wood so I can drill them out. What I am trying to do is use a spline to create the…

CSV to Sketch - Custom Feature
Introducing a new custom feature for importing CSV points as sketches. This feature takes in a 2D CSV of coordinates, and generates sketch points, polylines, or splines. Polylines and splines can be broken up by inserting a blank row into the file. Get it on fs.place (The only marketplace for custom FeatureScripts), or…

Move part studio out of document without variable studio
I have a part studio which I would like to move out of the current document into a new document. But because there is a variable studio in the current document, the variable tab is moved with the part. The variables are not used in the part studio, they are only (auomaticly) linked to the studio. The variable tab can not…

Creating a tapered thread
I am 3D printing a part where a tapered bolt fits into a (tapered) threaded block. The block then sits snug into a square cavity (not shown) and is split in two. As the bolt screws down into the block it forces the two halves of the block apart exerting a sideways locking force. I have not yet found an easy way to…

Two lofts from the same point
I need an "ah-ha" moment. Im making a splitter pipe and want to make two lofts originating from the same extrude face. Basically make the left look like the loft on the right. Seems very simple but i cant select the same extrude face. Am i using the wrong loft parameters in loft one that is causing this?
