Help – Why is there a gap in circle; Screenshots included
I used the grey object to create a circle, and trimmed it to form the arc. Why is there still a gap? Sorry if this is an obvious question, I'm quite new to this.

Cannot figure out why the spline curve in a sketch is not constrained.
I am new to On Shape. I have a document (see link below) in which Sketch 1 has a spline curve that I cannot constrain and I don't understand why. I believe it is preventing me from adding sketches to the surface of the spline. The link is…

Angles of the chamfer function
Hello. I would like to draw a Z shape table. Here are the calculated angles and sizes. But when I set the sizes and angles in OnShape I've got a really different format. I use part chamfer angle and size settings. Here is my drawing link:…

Creating Folded Ribbon Cable Routes
Is there an existing Featurescript out there for folded ribbon cable routes? Or does anyone have a nice workflow? This is a task that has been quite tedious without 3d sketches. I'm currently using a combination of routing curves, many orthogonal sketches, and a collection of sweeps for the flat bends.…

etching
we send parts o a company to manufacture for us sometimes, i usually download and send dxf of flat pattern for cutting. with a pdf of the drawing. they also offer laser etching, i asked how they need files to show the etching and they said just add lines to the dxf, red if possible. i think they mean red line on the…

Gun checkering texture
Wondering if there's a fs out there that someone knows of to do gun checkering? I tried Pascoe's texture tool with diamond pattern but it not exactly representative of what I'm going for as its got spaces and sizing all wrong.

Using Form Feature with Featurescript
Hello Team, I don't seem to be able to get the form featurescript to work. Any ideas what I am doing wrong??? I am importing a form part studio TEST_FORM:: var pointSketch = newSketch(context, id + "points", { "sketchPlane" : qCreatedBy(makeId("Top"), EntityType.FACE) }); skPoint(pointSketch, "point1", { "position" :…

Offset problem inwards a multi point sketch.
I have created a clark-y profile to make wing spars using "Profile Generator". When I have extruded the suface I want to make an offset inwards to create a thin frame. I get an error message, see picture one. How can I get around this? Offset outwards, no problems, see picture two. Without extrude, picture three. What is…

Mixed modeling not possible with an education license?
I import several meshes in a partstudio. However I use both .obj files and .stl files it doesn't result in mixed modeling. I can open the partstudios with the imported meshes. I can delete som parts, but not add some parts, or use boolean as seen in a Youtube movie. What's going wrong or isn't it not possible with an…

Use sketch and model dimensions in 2D drawing
Is there (or could there be) an option to show and use some or all sketch and model dimensions in a 2D drawing instead of completely recreating the design intent with new dimensions? As it is, OS is leaving the design intent for drawings up to the detailed instead of pulling intent from them model creation. I would simply…

Can FeatureScript use a document name to set part attributes?
I recently made a FeatureScript to help color code parts according to a company SOP. It basically has a drop down of the part type and then sets the appearance of the part accordingly. Is it possible to have FeatureScript read the name of a document (the documents this would apply to all follow a strict naming procedure)…

Parametric Cycloidal Drive Featurescript
Hello, I've made a parameterized cycloidal drive generation script that I've found very useful, and I thought I'd share it in case anyone else was interested. I'd love any feedback 🙂 https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8b3df8cee04d69a41c0ee558/w/896df62751b78bc0bd9e2148/e/6a0d9aecc7ada0f635581c7a

Orienting components in CAM Studio
I can insert components (part, workholding, stock) into a CAM Studio, but I don't see how to orient them once they are there. They orient as they were designed, but I can't figure out how to properly mate the part to the workholding and the blank to the part. The training video just shows them appearing in the correct…

Best Practice for Obtaining Area of Intersecting Plane & Part
Hello! I need to be able to calculate the area of where a plane intersects a part. See pictures. The blue shaded areas are the planes in the picture. Need area of where the intersection is between the plane and boat hull. I had tried to create a sketch on the plane and then create lines that form an enclosed space but it…

Why won't this shell?
I'm trying to shell this part with a 1mm wall thickness. Before I unioned the parts, I could get a 2.5mm shell… but nothing smaller. I listened to the onshape you tube which said "check the smallest radius is bigger than your shell thickness" er, I guess that's where my problem is? But radius of what? I don't really get…

Object floating above the plane.
My first time using onshape. I made a cut (set extrusion to 'remove') and now my design looks like it's floating above the top plane. Did I do something wrong? https://cad.onshape.com/documents/71bf8a239481b35cd221691a/w/039b8e3934dc9803ea88e91e/e/ea532cfc96df5e80e638e021?renderMode=0&uiState=68ed54b7c2654d9980b47454

Why isn't this loft working?
Hi sorry brand new to onshape…Why isn't this loft working between these three sketches? My leading theory is the point at V2 is causing issues? I create sketch A, then created sketch B from an offset plane, then drew construction lines 1 and 2, there's another sketch not shown that constrains an angle between 1, v2, and V1…

Can you Fasten a vertex to a surface?
I have a relatively simple surface (floor) and would like to "triangulate" it with a set of triangular parts (tiles). See porch+walk | walk last mile question I'd like to model this to see how big I can make the triangular tiles and still get a reasonable walking surface. I've been manually fastening these together and…

Is it possible to design 3rd part plugins?
In my classes, I use onshape as a (pre)pre-processor for finite element analysis. After drawing the model I export for another software to work with. Is it possible to couple the design with my program? First idea is just use local python. Second idea is use some "developer space" inside onshape and design my own fem. I…

How to copy a sketch by 90 degrees
I have a square base structure with walls so they have the same width. Some elements on 2 orthogonal sides are on the same place. I am looking for a way not to create 1 sketch only for these elements and then turning it by the tangent corner line. The simplest example would be to sketch a triangle on the Front plane, then…
