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.

Simulation Results
I developed a model and assign materials for the assembly. But still it shows that material has to be assigned and cannot run the simulation. I have uploaded few screenshots and hope you may understand and please help me to figure this out. Thanks for your support, Dilshan.

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…

Assembly update after part development/modification
Dears, I'm facing a problem I cannot solve up to now…. I started the design of a new part in an assembly using the button"create part studio in context". Up to this, it's working fine, and so I can design the first part, a first extrusion., and a new part file was created. I also suceeded to design a second extrusion,…

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…

Cylinder. Extrude a turning angle
I have a cylinder dia. of 114.59mm with a height 100mm. I am trying to remove a 2mm x 2mm trough at the 45 degree mark on a 4.5 degree angle. I tried changing the plane angle but the extrude ends up shallow on the other end. Any other ideas?

Define thread length with a linear dimension instead of a callout
I'm looking for a way to dimension thread length with a regular linear dimension, instead of a callout, because some situations would make it much clearer where the depth should be measured from. In the drawing below, for example, the reference for the depth of the M10 hole is "A", but the callout dimension starts…

Folding "sheet" on itself?
Hello. I'm trying to create a tool to fold a sheet of paper/fabric on top of itself. The idea is to have flat pipe transit into folder form: I thought a simple loft will do the trick, but it turned out to be more complicated than that - the loft failed. Then I tried adding intermediate stages to guide the loft, but it…

CAM Textures - wood effects in particular.
Where would I look for a software or the the ability to add a wood texture onto a part that is the mould for a wood plank - approx 300mm x 1200. Is this possible in the CAM module . Are there artificial wood cutting paths to get that effect? The texture could be a jpg image that is converted using contrasting heights and…

How can I improve?
Hi, I am currently a high school student and have being working on a little side project of mine. I discovered OnShape about a year ago, but I haven't started getting serious about it until recently. I am completely self taught and use public files as inspiration and design workarounds for my current project. My project is…

Can I export sub-assemblies defined relative to the origin of the main assembly?
I have a big assembly composed of parts and sub assemblies. I'm trying to create an SDF robot description file from this assembly, and so I'd like to export all the sub-assemblies as STL's and calculate their inertial properties. The problem is that I need the exported STL's to be defined relative to the main assembly…

Weird Extra Mate Connectors Added by addInstance()
I have a featurescript that inserts a part from a configurable part studio at a specific mate connector. The feature brings along any mate connectors in the part studio as well. I'm using an instantiator with a partQuery specified. Like this: const instantiator = newInstantiator(id + "blockBody", {"partQuery" :…

Importing from 2D design and being allowed to then extrude
Hi I have managed to import a drawing from 2D design (dxf or JPEG) but can't then extrude it (or work on it). If this can't be done, how do I draw the image below please on Onshape (I have tried now for an hour and give up)/ Any help would be very much appreciated.
