Slider mate limits from variables
Hi, I have a linear rail and carriage sub assembly: The rail part studio has a configuration variable which sets its length. The carriage part studio also has a configuration variable which sets its length. The carriage is mated to the rail with a slider mate. Is there a way to set the maximum slider distance using the…

STL not exporting correctly in app but will on website
I have designed a draw system which is parametric. Link below. I sent the parameters to 120mm deep, 180mm width and 160mm tall. However the depth was ok but the other 2 parametric came out to 100mm x 100mm. However the website downloaded an STL that i was able to print to the correct sizing. Any ideas please.…

How do I dimension an image with different aspect ratio
I am trying to scale this image to the correct dimension but the sketch could not be solved. What am I doing wrong? Is it not possible for Onshape to change the image dimensions?

Adding volume as a custom property?
Back in January, mass was finally added as automatically computed property. It seems like other properties can be added through FeatureScript. I want to add part volume as a custom property which can then be added to standard drawing notes. How do I do that? Is there a standard way to do this?

How to angle the sides of tabs around a circular base
Hopefully this is an easy question as I have a direct reference STL that I'd like to replicate and then modify. See the STL here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d12e3a1303b4fc96fbc5d579/w/ea6ec74fe48123340054da92/e/8d2b02cb799753e609c7f9cf I can't figure out how to make the edge of the tabs 45 degrees, or make an angled…

Custom Feature: Auto Loft
So one day I got sick and tired of creating so many things in order to loft 2 objects and created this new feature: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/94e2ca3c499ecbba9ccfafe6/w/c35c00116423894cfa81ae88/e/2ee558d2512c5ebe0f9102c1 This feature allows you to loft a surface without having to make another sketch or plane. You…

How to make a "shadow" behind a structure?
Hello forum I have made a "lamp" that cast its light on a surface from an angle, and in the "light" path the there is a round pole tube. I would like to have a a shadow all behind the round pole tube where there are no "light", due to the pole is shadowing from the light source. Is it possible? Here is the link to the…

How can I fillet all the raised edges of this disk radially? (Explained in description)
I would like to fillet all the raised edges of this disc so that the length of the fillet along every point on the edge is proportional to the radius of the disc at that point on the edge. I can try to explain it better if this explanation is unclear. This disc is for a cam of sorts, and there will be a number of shafts…

Detecting used mate connectors?
I am hoping to develop a feature that will scale a model without scaling its used mate connectors. This will allow me to preserve the size of a joint (e.g. a screw hole) while scaling the rest of the model. Is there a way to detect used mate connectors?

Error in closing mechanism
Hello, I have been 3d printing and 3d designing for a while now and for some reason my designs for the hinge make the 3d printed object not look closed on the other corners.

Frame Sketches
Hi, I'm designing some garden decking using aluminium joists. I've used frames for the subframe, making use of the cut list feature. I need to add some down turns to support the fascia boards. I'd like to use frames for these but I can't see an easy way to generate them without setting up a lot of additional sketch planes.…

Creating a custom function to be used in the editor
I'm trying to create a custom function in a featurescript, that will be available to the user after using that featurescript. I know you can use setVariable to define the function, but I want to add the type hints such as in functions like sin (it apperas at sin(x)), since the function currently takes 4 parameters which…

Undefined sketch seems to not be working
A simple sketch set up using the center point rectangle is showing as undefined. Both sides are have dimensions set as length = 100.0 and height = 60.0. The image attached shows all the constraints. This has been happening on more complex sketches and I can't figure out why. I have re-booted my computer and cleared Chrome…

What does everyone use Composite Parts for?
I feel like I'm missing something here, but basically every time I use composite parts they let me down. What I wanted and expected was that it would let me treat a group of bodies as a single part/body, even if they were disjoint. Instead it seems more like a way to make an assembly with group mates from within a part…

Using a derived composite part in a part studio NOT assembly
