Problem with OnShape
Working through the introductory tutorials of OnShape. One command that does not work on my system is the curve constraint command. Not sure what I am doing wrong but it should be a simple double click to turn two segments into a curve. Do this over and again and two lines remain. Not a huge problem but one day I may want…

Remove or hide he drop down "Getting Sttarted with Onshape"
Every time I login 80% of my screen is taken up by this large useless box. I can use the blue create button at the top left to create something and generally just want to jump into my files. How can I make this minimize and STAY minimized, or hide/remove it? Perhaps it does not stay minimized as I clear cookies, but my…

So I have worked out how to subscribe to APP store participants and worked through to identify a part that I would like to incorporate in my drawing. I get to the "Import" into OnShape dialogue but get a window titled after the participant and the model requested. How can I get the model to be inserted into my OnShape…

Image sizing
I can’t get in shape to resize my picture based on dimensioning something within it. Trying to do the dimension as soon as I import the image but no go. All the tutorials out there show making a line and dimension it then the image will resize but my line goes to the new dimension but the image doesn’t grow with it. What…

Is there a way to generate a cut list against the assembly configuration? If not, do I need to set the Part Studios configurations to match…

STL not exporting correctly in app but will on website
I have designed a draw system which is parametric. Link below. I sent the parameters to 120mm deep, 180mm width and 160mm tall. However the depth was ok but the other 2 parametric came out to 100mm x 100mm. However the website downloaded an STL that i was able to print to the correct sizing. Any ideas please.…

Adding volume as a custom property?
Back in January, mass was finally added as automatically computed property. It seems like other properties can be added through FeatureScript. I want to add part volume as a custom property which can then be added to standard drawing notes. How do I do that? Is there a standard way to do this?

How to angle the sides of tabs around a circular base
Hopefully this is an easy question as I have a direct reference STL that I'd like to replicate and then modify.

How can I fillet all the raised edges of this disk radially? (Explained in description)
I would like to fillet all the raised edges of this disc so that the length of the fillet along every point on the edge is proportional to the radius of the disc at that point on the edge. I can try to explain it better if this explanation is unclear. This disc is for a cam of sorts, and there will be a number of shafts…

Detecting used mate connectors?
I am hoping to develop a feature that will scale a model without scaling its used mate connectors. This will allow me to preserve the size of a joint (e.g. a screw hole) while scaling the rest of the model. Is there a way to detect used mate connectors?

Error in closing mechanism
Hello, I have been 3d printing and 3d designing for a while now and for some reason my designs for the hinge make the 3d printed object not look closed on the other corners.

A simple sketch set up using the center point rectangle is showing as undefined. Both sides are have dimensions set as length = 100.0 and height = 60.0. The image attached shows all the constraints. This has been happening on more complex sketches and I can't figure out why. I have re-booted my computer and cleared Chrome…
