Getting to "fully defined"
Reference document: Octagonal pedestal - multipart https://cad.onshape.com/documents/28044d76fae64781bc7c9c46/w/f0b392a79f784531824bf25d/e/f31eb6eef1ea46ceb4d1ee03 Part Studio: Parts Rev 2 Sketch 1 I've created an octagon shape with two lines using offset. To this point, the sketch is fully defined. I added a box at the 9…

How can this not be defined?
Hello, all i've done so far is chose a plane to sketch, selected rectangle and drawn it. How can that simple shape not be defined? I have been using Onshape for a while but purely on a super low level without anything complicated, i've never seen this error message previously. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Cookie Stamp Curved and INVERTED OR FLIPPED Text
Hello, I can model a rubber stamp :) And I know how to create curved text :) However, in 3D modeling a cookie stamp for our school, I am not able to flip and curve the text in the Surface Text Feature. I can only change the text direction and align it - neither of which gets me to where I need to be when stamping into…

Working with 3D scans
I want to scan a item, them use the scan to make parts that attach to those items but I cannot find a good tutorial that shows me how. It looks like a scan has no plane, so I have to make a plane and then model around that. How do I model around it? Youtubers just skip the details. Can anyone direct me to a video or…

API - export part studio?
Hello. I'm trying to create a one-click export current state of a part studio using API and extract downloaded file. So far it kind of works: it downloads zip file and extracts it, however the downloaded model is not the same as in part studio, because of the configuration (I'm using this document for my tests): how do I…

Export sketch as piecewise polyline.
It's been a while since I've written any featurescript. I'm looking for the following solution. I would like to be able to select N closed and open chains of sketch entities and with a provided tolerance tesselate them into N piecewise polylines and then either print them to the console or copy them to the clipboard. Is…

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…

I want to make a path for a hoop
I am having a problem where i cant make a path for my hoops of the bull bar. I am trying to make a path starting a one cylinder that goes up and then curves to the left and goes straight then curves down and meets the other cylinder. I am having trouble find the right plane to start the sketch on as the line wont go up it…

architectural scale and importing
Hi, new user. How do you create an architectural scale on a drawing? I was able to import a dwr image and a pdf…but how do you copy it into a final drawing? Fyi, I am building a 4 season room and want to create a plan view & elevations (that use uploaded window architecturals). thx

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.
