How to break color derived selections
I am doing a simple copy part using transform. I need to be able to change the color of individual faces of the copied part but am running into something new. It now says the color is a “derived selection”. I can’t find any way to stop this or break the link. In the past this was not a problem so something has changed…

Defining Libraries for Featurescript Usage?
I have a WIP Laser Kerf Bend featurescript that's been on backburner for quite some time and I've based the implementation partially on @MichaelPascoe's Texture feature which includes a lot of pre-defined solids to choose from for pattern seeding. The way he accomplished his "library" of solids was a lot of manual…

Can we please sort by Copies and Links when searching for Featurescripts? Please?
I'm trying to find useful Featurescripts, but I can't really search by name, because they're unpredictable in the exact wording. I can search Public for all Featurescripts, but I really want to sort by Copies and Links to find popular ones. Can this be done? @NeilCooke ?

What sets the width of a custom table imported into a drawing?
I am inserting a custom table into a drawing. It is slightly wider than the drawing sheet and so I adjust it to fit. But then the next time I update the model the custom drawing reverts to its original size. How can I resize the custom table so that I don't have to keep on resizing it?

Feature Script and Configurations
I would really like to have a feature script that cleanly captures and defines configuration variables similar to the way that Greg Brown did in this video. (3:15 Chassis base data) Unfortunately, I am a total Feature Script noob. Is there an example feature script I can reference to create my own? Thanks!

Rename existing part?
Is there a way rename a part and add data from configuration? For example my part studio has 2 configurations: width and length, I'd like to automatically rename "Part 1" to "My part 123x456" where 123 and 456 are width/length Is it possible with FeatureScript?

Need advice on how to make my Airflow Bottle waterproof
Hi All, I am quite new to 3D printing. Just got my Bambulab X1C. Have had this design in mind of a non glucking (Airflow) bottle (have actually patented it many years ago). Now finally I could design it (I used Onshape) and print it. One problem: I used PLA and cannot get it to stop leaking atiny bit. So what do I do to…

create sketch feature script
I have a feature script that creates a new sketch and a set of geometries at a selected point of an existing sketch or feature. I would like to be able to add the sketch geometry to a current and active sketch. I could import a DFX, but this would be a static set of lines and objects. My current feature script dynamically…

When I click ok (ck) on the mirror parameter box the the image of the mirrored objects disappears
I am experimenting with various surface treatments. At some point my project lost the normal image and a few squiggles replaced the part that I was drawing. I moved the 'end of the 'features bar' back to the beginning and incremented slowly till I got to the mirror1 command. After clicking the ok check mark on the…

Loft problem - aerofoil shape + offset sketch
I'm trying to create a "formwork" for an aerofoil shape to see if I can heat+shape a foam sheet. The aerofoil shape was created using the Profile Generator feature. I've created a test aerofoil as the Pattern and am trying to use an offset sketch to generate a matching shape for the formwork (offset at 5mm) The inner…

How do I convert these simple 3 sketches into a sheet metal part?
I have these 3 sketches that are joined together at the edges but non-planar. I just want to create a sheet metal part that is exactly these planes but I cannot seem to do it, both the extrude, thicken and convert features do not recognize that these 3 sketches are connected and it makes 3 seperate parts out of them.…

Different width of the Chamfer after Boolean operations
Hello! Have a problem with continues chamfer on the edges after Boolean operation. On the screen you can see the different width, can't solve it for days, the only way I found is to create first chamfer shape (3rd screen) with Loft and after vertical edges will Chamfer ok, but it is a very tedious way.

Let's solve the speed issue
Lately, I've been having a great deal of trouble doing anything in OnShape. For all the great features the program has, it seems to be very vulnerable to long load times, which cripples my ability to work on a project. I have verified that this is only an issue with OnShape, rather than my computer. It's nothing special,…

Can I add notes to a sketch within a part studio
I know we can add comments, but is there way to add notes to a sketch itself, similar to when doing 2D drawings. Example: Say I add some drawing lines for a component I want to use, a simple outline of the part to show size and location. It would be nice to be able to point to it with a note that contains the parts…
