Feature script: Circular pattern + Torrodial rotation by steps around secondary axis.
Code by clause on preplexity, I helped . import(path : "onshape/std/common.fs", version : "2752.0"); // Define custom angle bounds export const CUSTOM_ANGLE_BOUNDS = { (degree) : [0, 15, 360] // [min, default, max] in degrees } as AngleBoundSpec; export const TOTAL_ANGLE_BOUNDS = { (degree) : [1, 360, 1080] // [min,…

Automatically update In-Context part when Assembly Configuration is changed
Hey everyone, I'm working on a fairly complex design that is a part cooling duct for a 3D printer toolhead. I have configured the assembly such that there is an option to switch the hotend that is attached to the extruder, and the idea is that the context of the L and R Ducts will automatically update to reflect the new…

Advanced Part Design Exercise: Vent
I am having a problem with step 16 in this exercise. I have followed the instructions for the step, but the result of the feature pattern in my part studio differs from that shown in the example, so I must be missing something. There is a hint in the sketch step to dimension from the vertical and horizontal construction…

Need help on circular patterns, I think
Hey everyone I'm working through the Intro to CAD curriculum about 3 days ahead of my students. It's been going super well up to now, but I'm really struggling with lesson 2.5.4, which is adding a logo to the skateboard. I've figured out several ways to make the logo in a sketch but I can never get it to be fully defined,…

DXF / DWG EXPORT UNITS
Hi, as of the last update, you can now override the default units when exporting a DXF or DWG flat pattern in sheet metal. The default is Meter, can you change this default setting? We use Millimeters, and didn't spot this change, we just caught it in time before the laser cut some very small parts 😁. Many Thanks. Craig

How to add standard part content from assembly workspace to part studio for editing ?.
I have modelled a base plate with threaded M6 stud mounted on it centrally. I want to fasten the stud to base plate by inserting a hex flange nut. I found M6*1 hex flange nut in standard content in assembly workspace but it doesn't have internal threads. My idea is to use thread feauturescript or boolean operation with…

Import DXF into Onshape
I am trying to import a dxf file into a part studio sketch, but when i click on the file (pp semester 2) nothing happens. I have a feeling this is an easy fix and i'm missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.

Basic help Managing parts between multiple Part Studios and multiple Documents
I've been searching the YouTubes and the forum posts for quite awhile, trying to answer my own question…unsuccessfully. Essentially, I learned Onshape over the past year, using a Top-Down approach. Now that I am making something much more complex (and only discovered the roll-back feature two days ago), my part studio is…

Importing Object Scan Bug?
I've been testing out the new import scan feature on my iPhone 16 Pro, I may be encountering a bug. I can do an area scan and the mesh shows up after processing but when doing an object scan it fails. After processing completes the scanning UI disappears and no mesh is created in a part studio no are there any scan folder…

Reducer Coupler (within the Introduction to Part Studios Lesson)
I was attempting to recreate the Reducer Coupler according to the directions provided in the 'Learning Center'. I could not execute the directions for one-half of the part that was supposed to be revolved. I believe it is best explained with the 2 attached screenshots. Also, I don't believe the directions show how thick…

Custom feature: tapless (self-forming) screws
Hi all, I found Thomas Sanladerer's "self-forming screws" to be extremely useful, but the FeatureScripts I saw out there didn't quite do what I wanted and didn't reliably produce the output that I wanted, and just using a Derived on his design got tiresome in a hurry. So I decided to learn FeatureScript, and wrote my first…

Assembling sub-assemblies
How do I locate (e.g. mate) sub-assemblies within a higher level assembly? I have a sub-assembly of a timber frame with five separate parts in it. When I try to assemble this in the higher level assembly I select some mate constraints, but it only assembles the part the constraint is on, not the entire sub-assembly. There…

Cannot Hollow Out Airplane Wing in Onshape
Hi, I am relatively new in CAD modelling and Onshape, so please forgive me if I do something wrong. I am trying to hollow out an airplane wing using the shell tool with thickness of 1mm. However, it just says "Shell did not regenerate properly: Could not shell part with selections." When I use the shell feature on an…
