Can't publish my custom feature
I just realised my frame trim/extend featurescipt isn't publicly discoverable (sorry, kind of new to OnShape). I've met all the requirements, but for some reason it's not detecting that I've used the feature in my example:

Learning Center - Mark lesson as completed
I am using learning center and enroling in courses, learning paths and lessons. Usually when I complete these they are moved from the "My Learning" tab into the "Completed" tab. But I recently started the lesson "Oneshape Assembly Basics" and completed it, and it hasnt moved there. This is not a problem with lessons…

How to achieve parametric- or feedback friendly design using frames
Is it possible to somehow assign a variable to a frame profile, so when I need to change frame profiles of multiple frames, i could do it in one place not change every frame object separately? 2. Regarding limiting frame ends. If i change the frame profile I have to re do most of the 'limit frame ends'. Whats the best 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…

'Breaking up' a composite part imported from a STEP.
Hi. I have a vendor-supplied STEP that imports as a composite part of surface bodies, even if 'create composite' is NOT checked on import. I'd like to do some work on the surfaces to thicken them, but I cannot find a way of splitting the imported composite back into its consistutent surface features. Help would be…

Sketches Created in Featurescript No Longer Appearing Under Feature
I have a feature written in Featurescript that creates a number of sketches. Previously, they were all showing up under the feature's details (when expanding the feature via arrow), but something changed and now they aren't. I'm not sure what changed. What determines whether they show up? I don't get any arrow at all now…

Custom Feature: Frame Trim/Extend
I suspect this will get added to std at some point since it's a common feature to frame generators in other CAD packages like SW and Inventor, but while we wait, here's a quick and dirty upgrade to frame trim that allows frame profiles to be extended to faces if the face plane doesn't intersect the body. It's essentially a…

Get Drawing ElementID from PartID
I am trying to get the elementID of a drawing from a partID. What ive been trying is to first fetch all drawing elements in the document, and then to try to resolve all of that elements references using /appelements/d/{did}/{wvm}/{wvmid}/e/{eid}/resolvereferences The issue is that it resolved the reference but says the…

New Feature - Bridge Overhang (for 3D printing)

Generally, when printing geometry with counterbored (or pocketed) geometry on the bottom, the resulting print develops a solid amount…

Splitting and deleting 3 overlapping lofts
I have this part with 3 overlapping lofts and I am trying to delete all the internal parts so all are open. I have tried splitting multiple entities in one operation, splitting seperately, but I keep getting "Selected entity does not split selected parts." errors. Can anyone help me with step by step instructions?

FeatureScript IDE (Secret menu) 😎
. While doing some FeatureScripting earlier, I was late for a meeting and reached over to grab my headphones and accidentally opened up a secret menu. After arguing with GPT about what the hotkey could have been, I systematically started pressing all the logical hotkey combinations for an IDE (Integrated Development…

What would be the best way to have an assert on a variable
Is it possible to give a warning if I'm about to do something stupid with variables? For example. If I'm designing a block and I put in a line diameter of 12mm and I have a sheave width that is <12mm it would inform me that the sheave width must be greater than line diameter? I mean I suppose I could model the rope and it…

How do I export Ball Mate to STL?
I am a newbie in cad and 3d printing. Just started using it because my son gave me his old 3d printer. I created ball mate and an assembly, but don't know how to export it? I exported assembly but in Prusa slicer it does not lay flat. How will printer print a ball in the body? or do I have to print Body and ball separately…

Modified off-the-shelf parts
In SW, I would make an assembly, then use assembly features to make the modification. Then in the drawing I can use a BOM to show what components went into the modified "assembly". Often there would be only one line in the BOM. In OS, I can use a "Derived" feature in a part studio to bring in the components, but I see no…

Creating an angled connection between two cylinders
I'm trying to create a part which connects two cylinders. My approach is problematic. It for example does not allow me to use the boolean tool to union the connection and the smaller cylinder because they do not actually connect. What would be the correct design approach to tackle this problem?…

Face Blend gone
My Face-Blend tool dissappeared in one of my Part-Studios. I cannot get it back. It does not show up in "customize toolbar" and even the shortcut for Face-Blend does not work in this part studio. In every other document it works fine. How can I get it back? Thanks

How to make cutouts on sphere follow the curve?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a model of a smooth tennis ball, but I have no idea how to make the curved grooves on it. Is there some way to sketch out the curve and project it onto the sphere, then sweep/extrude out the cutout? Thank you.

Invalid Normal Until a More-Distant Point is Used
What is going on here? I have 3 points that are co-linear (start, mid, end) that produce an invalid normal when used with this code. If I make a 4th co-linear point that is farther away, it works fine. It seems that when too close together it is for some reason "close to parallel". Why does OnShape let this sort of…
