Split part - What determines which side is which?
When using the Split feature to split a part, I get two parts, great. But one of these parts seems to have the same "identity" as the original, and the other is "new". What determines which side of a split is the old part and which one is the new? Can I control it? My main reason for asking is that inserting a split into…

Featurescript: Editing Logic Function does not update length parameter in Feature UI
Have looked through the documentation as well as the Spur Gear example code, but I seem to be missing something obvious. I would like for the Logic Editing Function of my Custom Feature to change a numerical value entered by the user, and for this updated value to be reflected in the Feature UI dialog. When the user…

How do I move an object to a specific coord
Total newbie here. I noticed that with transform when you select xyz you can only select a distance from the old object. Is there any way to select coords? Like to move to the origin you select 0,0,0

Flatten eliptic arc based object
Dear colleague, is there any hint-workaround for creating a flattable "something" of the attached object such that it could be finally cut on a laser cutter? All my attempts (extruding solids, thickening surfaces, extruding/thickening metal sheets) failed so far. I tried to insert a link to my document but it says that the…

How best to model a part for 3D printing
I‘m trying to model a part based on sheet metal so I initially used the sheet metal tool to create the bent part but then found that I couldn’t chamfer the model edges. I reverted back to a sketch and extrude model but the interface between the parts at the bend point create problems when trying to chamfer. Any advice on…

Making a vase and a circular pattern suddenly starts acting weird 3/4 of the way around
Vases | Part Studio 2 So I was following a tutorial on creating vases for 3d printing and the work flow is to create your base shape, revolve a cylinder around it, put a helix on the cylinder, use the helix and one of the cylinder's base lines to create a spiraling surface (looks like an Archimedes screw with zero…

Two parts not same dimensions at split point. Why?
I am attempting to 3d print this part. I needed to split it due to printer restrictions. When I printed the two parts the connecting surfaces were of different diameters and did not fit together as i was expecting. I am not sure why. Is there a setting or a "gotcha" that is drinving the two parts not to "marry up". Any…

Non-Hybrid Modeling
I am a professional engineer with over a decade in modeling experience on multiple platforms (solid edge, solid works, Inventor, and Catia). A large part of my experience with complex modeling was using CATIA with which I excelled with robust design models. During this time, I almost exclusively used what I have come to…

Adding Thickness, Length and Width as BOM Properties
I've seen this requested a few times, or at least mentioned, but haven't dug in deep enough to see if a solution was made. So I took a stab at it. This is primarily for those of us who design around sheet goods, like plywood, MDF, acrylic, etc. Using this FeatureScript, you can automatically generate the values for a…

Any Feedback
I am trying to design a remote control plane, and I have been at it for a while, but I have not found any dedicated tutorials for how to do such a thing in Onshape, so I would love if another set of eyes could look over it and give me pointers. This plane is designed to be a pusher UAV similar to small military…

Create query from opPoint
Hi, I have the following: var l = evEdgeTangentLine(context, { "edge" : edgeToUse1, "parameter" : p }); opPoint(context, id + "vertex3", { "point" : l.origin }); How can I create a query from the point created for use in a sketch constraint or am I going about this the wrong way? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Custom Mate Connectors not coming over to assembly
Hey folks - I know this question has been asked in other forms, but none of the solutions helped and this is actually in the classroom tutorial from Onshape.

How can I resize a large number of sketch entities without changing their location?
I am working on a part studio where multiple parts with linear patterns of holes need to overlap so the holes maintain their concentric relationships. I have done this by taking the original sketch with my hole pattern and copy/pasting it into other sketches from which I am extruding the various parts. I assumed that the…
