Is there a way to actually fix the dreaded "some external references are missing"?
Hello, So, yet again I dared to rearrange some things in a part and got punished for it. Is there some way to actually fix those references, something similar to deleting and re-adding a "missing blah of blah" you get in non-sketch operations? Or at least something one can do to avoid it (other than "never use…

slider mate help
I'm going to try to keep this short. I designed a Hydraulic cylinder for a job I'm doing, it has a 4" stroke, and I'm wondering if there's any way I can make it automatically return to a resting position at 2" after its moved. Thanks in advance!

How to add curved channels into parts
Hi everyone, I am still learning cad so apologies in advance if this is an obvious question. I am re-creating a part to mount a PCB and I am quite stumped as how these curved channels for zip-ties for cable strain relief are being added into the part. Could someone point me in the right direction on what I should be doing…

Placing multiple copies of a part within an assembly
I have a fairly basic issue that I haven't been able to figure out from the support pages. I have an assembly where I have already laid out more than 40 mate connectors, and I want to place a copy of the same part on each of these connectors. I just don't know the "efficient" way to do it. For what it's worth, here is a…

How to tilt/shear a circular pattern so that it describes a cone
Hi, I'm fairly new to onshape and parametric CAD, but blown away by its power and versatility. I'm modelling for 3D printing and I've hit a knowledge gap that I haven't been able to resolve via the forums. I'd be grateful for any advice. I have a pattern of cylinders that I created by sketching a circle, repeating with…

Constant error in 3D printing
So I made a earbud case model and decided to print it. However every time I try to print it, it always has this error: I always calibrate the printer before I print it and clean it but it still does this. Also I reviewed my print settings and it doesn't print this error in any other type of build I try with these settings.…

Lofting- Cannot use faces or regions with inner loops as profiles
Hi all, I've had good luck with lofting faces before, but I've never tried with circle objects like this. I am trying to make a center axle plate to hold this wheel skin. since the axle plate is offset from the edge of the wheel skin, I thought lofting would be the easiest way to gradually connect the outside of the plate…

How to scale down this project for 3D-Printing?
I'm not super familiar with Onshape, but I've used it a little. I made this for a careers class and wanted to get it 3D-printed, but when making the design I did so in feet & inches. I don't have a clue on how I can scale it down to a printable design at all, I made a little effort to research how to, but I'm still lost.…

Transformable Boolean operation (Sweep with body as tool)
Recently I had to design a guiding slot. The function was to transform a horizontal rotation of a ring into a vertical angle change of a pin. The basic concept looked like this: In CAM or real world milling, such geometries are no problem since you can define all axis of a tool and move it around as you please. But in the…

How to ignore configuration items in Configured Assembly Properties?
I am trying to configure part numbers on some assemblies. Frequently, some of the configured values for the assembly are irrelevant to the part number.
