Feature linear Pattern one element dissapears
I have a feature pattern of 4 instances of the part inside a cutout in a part., and when I am making the pattern I see all 4, but when I OK the pattern the 4 vanishes. If I set the instance count to 5, it skips that one (skip is not checked) Here is after hitting the green check: I have the timeline rolled to the pattern,…

How can I reset the appearance of parts in a part studio?
I'm trying to use Part Color by @EvanReese and it works great, but for a certain configuration the colors set by Part Color get overridden and I can't figure out how to make it stop doing that. I think I had set an appearance earlier on and now I can't remove those colors. Config 1 - Takes the colors set by Part Color in…

Engraving on drawing
Hi! I currently have a logo (dxf) placed on one of my parts as a 0.1mm cutout. This is looking good on the drawing, but to clarify exactly what needs to be engraved, I'd like to fill this in. This is the logo: Hatch region seemed like a good idea, but that fills in the ampersand completely: An additional problem is that it…

Rotate extrude along sweep path axis! (wire rope)
Hi, I have made a wire rope wich follow a spline/sweep function. But the rope must twist along the sweep axis. In a straight line I get it done with the helix function, but not with the bend (sp)line in the sweep function. You can see in the example that i am using a FS to make a helix accros the sweeppath, but that is not…

STL export - tapped hole threads not showing up in 3d print slicer
Title says it all. I've made a simple tap handle with a threaded 3/8-16 hole to directly screw onto a tap. The intent is to 3d print the part with the threads integral to the part. It exports fine but the threads are not showing up in the slicer and thus will not print. If fact, the threads do not show up in the Onshape…

Issues whit the gear lab script feature
Hi, I'm an amateur designer and have been trying to use Onshape for personal purposes. While designing a differential gear system, I used the Gear Lab script feature, but I ran into the problem of not being able to properly align the gear faces. I can't get them to be at 90 degrees. I always end up with a 0.63-degree…

Is anyone using CAM Studio Yet? I'm having a challenging time.
Hello, I teach high school manufacturing and am switching my classes from Fusion to OnShape. I really like OnShape CAM in Part Studio. But now we are trying to use CAM Studio and it is really kicking our butts. So far I have been teaching students how to set up a job in CAM Studio and we have made it all the way through…

Enclose Surfaces Question
So I have created a cover for a model boat motor. I am very new to surfacing, so I'm sure there are better ways to accomplish this. I got roughly the shape that I'm after. At that point I'm actually just trying to thicken it to 5mm thick. I'm able to enclose it and turn it into a part without errors, but I can't get all of…

How to add a "floating" mate connector
When I move the mouse pointer around to choose a location for the mate connector I am about to add, Onshape highlights the "candidate points" (in lack of a better name) on the face under the pointer. And as long as that point is on the actual face, I can easily get to it. But sometimes the point I am interested in is…

How to hide the frame and name of a sketch in the workspace?
Hello,I also use onshape to create 2D geometry and this works fine just drawing a sketch and then generate a drawing from it. What I find annoying is that you cannot hide the rectangular frame and name of the active scetch in the workspace. When I do such 2D drawings I always hide the main planes (front,...) so they do not…

Looking for violin scroll example
i’m trying to model the basic shaped of a violin scroll. I don’t need to add all the detail because I intend to finish the scroll by hand. I have a 2D drawing of the outline and on the height of the scroll along the helix. I assume I would do this with a loft and a 3-D fit spline. I’m just stuck. Any help would be…

How to remove several constraints at a time?
I often want to revisit a previous design and make small changes, tune the dimensions, etc. But every time I do that, it ends up over constraining the sketch, or some similar issue. How can I remove all (or several selected) constraints in a sketch, all in one go? As opposed to clicking every single one and do it…

curve meeting edge, but not a fillet
Hey there, I'm new to CAD, new to Onshape. Been through a few tutorials, looked through the forums. Looking for guidance on a good way to model the below. It's a rounded edge, but the circle meets the rectangle at a point. So it's not a fillet, not a chamfer. I'm guessing there's lots of ways to potentially do this. What…

Looking for some help with release packages in the API

This section of the API does not seem well documented. I have several questions…

Pattern (fill) across adjacent faces vs. merge adjacent faces.
I am interested in recreating this pattern of a lattice across multiple adjacent faces. My difficulty is in duplicating the way the lattice conforms to the bends/fillets. Performing the straightforward sketch-extrude-fillet sequence results in multiple adjacent faces and presumably I need to build this as one surface (I…
