Exploded views should not be part of the revision management.
I need the ability to make a drawing of an already released file with a new exploded assembly view. I do not want to update the revision of the part when I want to add multiple views to the already existing part. For example, I have an assembly that is at Rev 1.4. I'm using this assembly in multiple larger assemblies. All…

Updating students documents in a classroom assignment
I have set an assignment for my students and in the time since then there have been several updates to Onshape like cosmetic threads for example. I'd added an old doc to the assignment which also wasn't updated, and I didn't open it before I attached it to the assigmnet. I've set it so the students have to add to the…

What does this error message mean?
Posted previously today about a FeatureScript I am working on for some learning/practice. I made some progress after getting stuck on a small miss of coding, but now I have this error: The first mate connector stops working, and the second one is fine using the same format.

Second opTransform not working following same format as previous one
I am practicing some of my FeatureScript skills and understanding (sadly after having to take a break from FS) by creating a FeatureScript that makes three mate connectors in each of the three axis orientations for a selected mate connector location. I can't seem to figure out why this call line is not working when the…

No snapping or measures on circles from DXF/vector?
I've used vector software to draw the base of some precise shapes - however when I want to extrude/add/modify etc on this, it turns out circles from DXF aren't really circles in onshape? I cannot snap to the center of them, and I cannot check the measures, it will only show the length - the circle selected is Ø5mm, so it…

Adding distance for an offset plane to a configuration table.
So I am designing a part (tonearm tube) that can exist in multiple configurations. These configurations typically revolve around the actual length of the part (9", 10" and 12" for example), but the part changes in multiple ways including the curve profile, location and size of openings etc. And, the configuration table has…

I can't get a cycloid's platted points to scale in a uniform way
How do I get the points to scale without distortion? This section of my code takes a bunch of input parameters and creates a parametric function that plots points that are part of the line for a cycloid. The if statement, if (eclen), is a boolean that, when true, is supposed to scale the points by adding (ec_shell-cymod)…

Help making a mold from a Mesh
Hi, been struggling for a while and can't figure out how to make a mold of the front face of this part I scanned. I've made them before from more boxy parts by just creating an extrusion and using a boolean remove to get the exact inverse of the face that I can 3D print. But this part is thin and I can't figure out how to…

Can you configure a variable studio to be visible or not visible in a part studio?
I am working with parts that have various parametric variables, and a certain type of the product is determined by those variables. In the master part studio, I have several sketches that define the product, and types have about 10 variables that determine the shaping. My goal is to have set configurations that are of a…
