Color blind
I am just starting to teach myself Onshape. One of the bigger challenges I have is that I am color blind and cannot see the colors of the lines. The black and the dark blue and green all look alike to me. I did some research and don't think I can customize those colors. So if any of you have any suggestions I would greatly…

Resizing the text of a dimension in a sketch
I'm a middle school engineering teacher rolling out Onshape Education Enterprise this fall with my students. Quick question- is there a way to make the dimension numbers bigger in a sketch? The numbers are somewhat small and in trying to take screenshots to support struggling students, I'm hoping to make them more…

I am unable to print a drawing from onshape. It either comes out blank or I get an error message
Sometimes the result is blank with no template and no views. Other times I get the message: "Pop-up windows appear to be blocked. Unblock them to enable printing." How do I print my drawing?

Cycloidal Gear Generator
Hi Onshapers! I just finished writing a cycloidal "gear" drive generator. It creates a cycloidal drive train using mathematically correct cycloid curves. I tried to make the UI intuitive. I hope all of the parameters that you would want to adjust are adjustable, but feedback on that would be amazing. Try it out!…

Patterns along a series of surfaces
I'm trying to model a bin with a fancy pattern on the outside. I start with a rounded rectangle end extrude that upwards. I think create a fancy part on one of the flat surfaces and extrude it. Then I'm stuck. The closest I get is with the Curve Pattern, but that fails to wrap the fancy part around the curve of the rounded…

Help using a 3D Scanned STL surface, to split a part, or use in any meaningful way as a tool ???
Just got a 3D scanner, and one of my main uses is to make a scan that I want to import into OnShape, and then use that imported scan to split, or remove from a part. So that the part has a shape that will fit to the oddly shaped surface of the scanned item. For example, scan a wrench, and remove that shape from a rectangle…

Featurescript to automate creation of entities with varying settings
Hello, I've been fighting with how to do this for some time, I know in the time I've spent I could have just hand modelled the solution, but I keep thinking there MUST be a way to do this… I have a reasonably complex profile, in a sketch (artistic, hand drawn). Aspects of the profile (some lengths, and offsets via…

sheet metal offset
Hi, I am trying to see if there is away to off set and edge on which i want to create a flange. We have recently switch over for SW ()20+ years in SW) SW allows you to have an offset with the flange tool. So if you need the fold to be past a certain point you can add an offset. I also tried to extrude that edge as a…

How to form a Helix along a 3D curve
I have a bent tube of the same diameter that has turns. I'd like to create a helix that follows the center line of the tube. I can't figure out either to create a curve/spline from the center point of the tube and/or create a Helix that follows the center line or follows the tube.

Problem with patterning an extrude cut hole around a conical sheet metal part.
Hello I have a part which I am working on. It is 2 pieces of 1.2mm mild steel which will be welded together to form a cone. It has various holes running around the top and bottom for rivets which will be laser cut into the flattened pieces. I want to make sure that the holes are dimensionally accurate on the 2D drawing/DXF…

Is tool diameter compensation available in CAM Studio?
I do not see mention of G41/G42 diameter compensation mentioned in the training docs or in options in Studio. Is this, or will this be, available? Also, it seems there is very little activity in the forum. Is this still the correct place to ask questions?

Max Spacing Linear Pattern
Sometimes you want a pattern to span a known distance using the fewest instances that are spaced within a maximum allowable distance Also known as 'the ladder problem'. As the length of the ladder increases, the rung spacing increases until a maximum spacing is reached and at that point an additional rung is introduced and…

3D printing models at different scales
Hi, Is there a recommended workflow to produce an onshape model which can be exported at different scales? It might be necessary to tweak some dimensions to suit the scaling to ensure reliable prints. Does this need to be designed in with dimensions and configurations, or at least partly so, or is there a better way? Thank…
