sheet metal bending drawing
Hello, I am new in OnShape. I'm trying to create sheet metal bending drawing, like this example. Thickness is 3 mm, also rounded corners. The detail is simple, but I got confused in numerous settings and templates, and the help tooltips don't look clear enough. Can anyone help me?

Optimizing performance of large assembly loading times
Hi, I had a question about the best way to manage large assemblies such that loading times are bearable. The current way my team's projects are set up is by having a few sub-assemblies in folders of the document, while there is a master assembly of the complete product that uses these sub-assemblies. All of this is a part…

Why does this Ruled Surface fail?
Hi onshape forum! I'm trying to create a ruled surface and it fails. I cannot figure out why it does and I'm currently unable to figure out a workaround. I'm referring to the last feature in this document (a simplified recreation of my issue):…

Configuration tables using copy / paste
Something I have not been able to do is pasting from a spreadsheet without (!) getting the 'untitled' entry on the bottom. I have to duplicate many similar entries in different configuration tables in the same assembly. To copy a configuration table into a spreadsheet is easy. In excel I copy the values, in my case only…

Same Part Repeated in BOM
Hi, I am encountering unexpected behavior in how Onshape handles parts in a BOM. I am designing a simple workbench with four identical legs. The legs were created in a single Part Studio by modeling one leg, mirroring that leg, and then mirroring both those legs. Each part was renamed to the same name. There are thus four…

How to accurately constrain a splined shaft to a splined gear?
I can fasten the splined shaft and the gear but I can't get the splines to line up without doing a revolve around the axis. The method I am using is to select the center axes of both parts and then, when the position and rotation are not accurate I do an offset and rotate. Is there an easier way or is this a feature…

Why is this expression incorrect?
I'm new to OnShape. I'm looking into formulas to drive a design and there are a couple of things I don't fully understand: OnShape functions do not accept values with units, I assume this is so by design to keep things consistent, and the units must be supplied explicitly. Is there a list that defines the correct…

How to Identify Faces Directly Created from Sketch Edges in an Extruded Part (FeatureScript)?
Hi everyone, I’m working with FeatureScript in Onshape and I have a question regarding extrusion operations. I’ve created a part by extruding a sketch, and now I need to identify which faces of the resulting solid are directly created from the edges of the sketch (i.e., the side faces that are the result of extruding the…

Loft Error - Cannot use faces or regions with inner loops as profiles.
Newbie here so apologies in advance if I'm doing something dumb… I'm trying what I thought was a simple loft between two sketches. One is a copy of the other in an offset plain just a little bit smaller, so I'd like the faces to connect to each other to make sloping walls. This is designed to fit the seat back of my car to…

Can't access public custom features in Onshape education enterprise
I've been using Onshape in the high school class room for the last 5 years and really like it. Ran into a problem today: Some students with education enterprise accounts aren't able to see public custom features made using feature script. But some students can see it. They are all organized in the same class and I have the…

Funnel Exercise - CAD Basics
Hello - I'm currently going through the CAD Basics Learning Path, which I thought would be ( should be ) fairly straightforward. However, I'm stuck on the Funnel exercise, Slide 9, in the Introduction to Parts Studios. Nothing I've done previously up to that slide is unfamiliar, nor is creating a loft. However, in…

Export option missing
I am a secondary teacher and have been using OnShape for a few years for students to create sketches/parts for exporting to a laser cutter as a dxf file. This year, my students are using OnShape, but there does not seem to be any way to export sketch to a dxf file. I have tried right-click on sketch to export, but the…

Export in free version?
I have a question similar to the one posted here (I tried to post there, but it may be a closed issue that doesn't allow posting). I'm using the free version occasionally (off and on, maybe 2-3 times a year) and mostly as a modeling tool that helps me think through possible solutions. Now, I'd like to export a part and…

Adding dimensions to an isometric view.
Is it possible to show dimensions on isometric views? Onshape allows me to do so and it seems to be in the correct plane, but the dimension stated is smaller than it actually is. My guess is that it's a result of showing a 3D dimension in 2D?

Internal thread is "self-blocking" - won't attach to threaded post.
I'm trying to create a replacement tip to thread onto this very course threaded bit (see attached). I have something that seems appropriate to start fit-testing, but the threads seem to "self block" at the exit of the hole. I've tried using Threadlab, and threadcreator. I thought maybe the issue is the # of starts, or a…

Using the planetary gear script and telling it to make 3 planet gears, but it doesn't.
It creates a single sun, ring, and planet gear with some sketch circles where the other gears should be but they don't actually generate. I want to make a carrier and I'd need all three to be there to reference. I don't see a way to just enable this and sure I could duplicate it in the assembly but I just feel like I'm…

Honeycomb pattern on a curved surface (Grid Extrude impossible).

However, I would like to do the same on the curved surface of the other part (Tube Hood) and am at…

revert to point in history?
After hundreds of changes I decided I was on the wrong track. Reviewing the history I see that a certain version on 5/11 was near perfect. I was hoping to regress to that version, abandoning all the work since then. But it seems that the history is "view-only".Is there any way to somehow get to an editable version starting…
