setVariable adds variables out of order
I have a simple script that ought to create variables in sequence. I am using it in a new parts studio without anything else. My expectation is that the variables should be added (unless something else precludes this) in the order requested. FeatureScript 2716; import(path : "onshape/std/geometry.fs", version : "2716.0");…

If I change the extrusion thickness of my part the slot feature I have attached to it mysteriously m
Absolute OnShape Newb still so be gentle with me, if I change the extrusion thickness of my part the slot feature I have attached to it mysteriously moves upwards. Wonder is there a way I can constrain it and stop it moving anywhere? Hope this image makes sense, obviously I have done something silly during the design phase…

Is there a way to customize part names within an exported zip file?
When I export a zip file for a document with "export unique parts as individual files" checked, typically the filename is "${document.name}.zip" and the files within it are "${document.name} - ${part_name}.stl". I'm wondering if there's some way to get rid of the document name portion of the filenames within the zip file?…

How do i get parts to push against each other?
I'am new to Onshape en new to 3d CAD. I have a simple mechanism. The grey part slides over the blue part (slide mate) and the purple parts rotates around the axle. How do I get the purple part to rotate when it interacts with the grey part? The geometry of grey and purple need to be refined, for now that's not relevant.

When importing a 3D scan OBJ, all I see is a bunch of outlines. How can I get it to display properly
Hello! I am trying to import a OBJ file (3D Scan) of an engine bay to use as a reference for modeling parts and such. When I import the file however, the model is rendered as a bunch of outlines, which makes it unusable. Occasionally, when I hover over specific parts of the model, more outlines appear. I attempted…

Derived via FS adds mate connectors that don't exist when derived directly as feature
I'm trying to understand the reason and how to avoid deriving mate connectors via FS. I have simple part studio with a cube and hole: There is no mate connectors exist. However, when derive this part via FS, it also adds mate connector for the hole: Why this happening and how to avoid these mate connectors? Thank you! P.S.…

Best Way to Mirror Parts In Place (Without Creating New Parts)
I need to invert a set of parts, equivalent to the Mirror function. But without creating new and deleting old, and losing the names of the parts involved. I don't care it the part moves in the process or flips in place. I've been trying to scale across the z-axis with a -1 scale factor, but it's turning red… Is negative…

Creating different appearances in Render Studio
This might be a stupid question, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how appearances work in Render Studio. There are a bunch of materials that seem frustratingly rigidly defined, and I don't understand how to replicate "that, but slightly different" — or, for that matter, how they are defined to begin with. For…

is there something like qOwnerBody but for in-context bodies?
