Why is my fillet going inward instead of outward?
Hi - I'm new to Onshape and have been trying hard to solve this myself but can't seem to. Notice the fillet on the tongue is rounding inward, rather than smoothly rounding outward. All of the tutorials make this look so easy. I will note that this tongue shape is a duplicated line from what it is sitting on, then extruded…

Custom Feature - Batch Hole to Slot
I made a FeatureScript custom feature for converting selected circular holes into slotted holes without editing the original sketches. Use case Mechanical plates, motor mounts, bearing plates, gearbox plates, laser/waterjet/CNC parts, and adjustment slots. Very handy when it comes to first version prototypes where one have…

Help with lofts and boolean/split
I am trying to create a diverter for my minisplit ac. I want to attach it to a 6in hose so I created a cone and then used Routing Curves and lofts to attach the parts that connect to the minisplit to the cone. I hacked it together and it seems like it would work but it's ugly. Any advice on a better way to connect the two…

Documents Space
Hello. At times I'm reluctant to start a new document for something really minor or to create a document in order to reply to a question on the forum. My concern is the possibility of Onshape's resources (space?, admin?) being unnecessarily used. I created a document 'Miscellaneous' that has a bunch of unrelated part…

How do you create new toolbar dropdown groups?
I love customizing the toolbar but can't figure out how to group tools into dropdowns (like Fillet and Chamfer) https://www.onshape.com/en/resource-center/tech-tips/tech-tip-customizing-your-onshape-toolbar I've tried a bunch of variations of dragging on top, moving around, looking in my account. Thanks in advance

MCP Support Coming Soon
@GregBrown Added a new video on his YouTube channel. This time demoing a “blend” corner custom feature (I’ve also seen these called “suitcase corners”). The real star of the show is that it was all coded with the help of Claude using the MCP server which is in development. Can’t wait for this to be released.…

New FeatureScript: 3D nesting
Hi everyone, <<Link first>> I wanted to share a new small FeatureScript tool-chain, mainly targeting powder bed fusion AM. It’s specifically focusing on the workflow around build preparation and 3D nesting. Although originally designed with powder bed AM in mind, 3D nesting could be useful in other domains too. This whole…

Part Studio intermittently becomes very slow when editing features
I’m working on a Part Studio with about 147 features, and feature editing sometimes becomes extremely slow. The issue is not graphics performance. Panning, rotating, and zooming are smooth, and the Onshape performance check reports good GPU/WebGL performance. The slowdown happens while creating or modifying features. For…

New FeatureScript Weld
We would like to introduce you a new FeatureScript that @mbartlett21 and I have createdFeatureScript Weld This custom feature creates welds using the user’s selection. It currently supports fillet welds and many types of butt welds. Something I think Onshape people will like to know is that Morgan @mbartlett21 and I do not…

Suspension mechanisms
Hello, I am a high school student working on a project where I have two wheels riding on a beam (one wheel is on the top, the other is on the bottom. Kind of like a rollercoaster setup). Every so often, however, there is an interruption and I have made a ramp for both wheels to go around it. I have made a suspension…

Receive emails from OnShape with subject "Haven't seen you in a while"
The email address sent from is alerts@OnShape.com. The reason I am writing is to inquire if I log in almost every day of the week, I am suspicious of an email stating I haven't logged in a while. Who would I forward this email to in case it is part of a phishing scheme posing as On Shape?

help with variables syntax
hi! I need to calculate a length of pipe with various bends, I have created a variables table, but I run into a problem: neither of these syntaxes works: 2x(#brat_orizontal)+2x(#LAC35M16)+2x(#DH)+2x(#LAC90M16)+(#LCI) (2x(#brat_orizontal))+(2x(#LAC35M16))+(2x(#DH))+(2x(#LAC90M16))+(#LCI)…

I wouldnt even know where to begin on this. Ive included an image of a similar profile using the fillet tool, but I want it to be a…

Any efficient ways to make a cutlist from a cabinet drawing?
Im trying to guage the possibilities of using OnShape for woodworking. One of the functions im missing is the ability to select all my parts, and put the dimensions in a list or a table. Is there any featurescripts that can do this? I've seen the "frame" workflow, but that seems very inconvenient when you've allready drawn…

With the Onshape MCP we need a way to share FeatureScript without giving away the source
The upcoming Onshape MCP edition and the push toward AI-driven CAD is genuinely exciting. The moment an AI agent can read a model, reason about intent, and call custom FeatureScript to do real work, custom features stop being a nice-to-have and become the building blocks of everything. That is a huge opportunity for the…

Custom Feature: Friction fit (interference fit) quick sketch tool
I started adding a small ridge or notch in items that I need to fit together snugly but where I don't trust the tolerance of my printer. I found it tedious to manually sketch 2-4 small ridges to extrude up the side of every box, so I have created a feature studio that does this automatically, adding a sketch to the centre…

Auto-populating Part Numbers and/or Names
As best I can tell, part names are automatically generated by Onshape when parts are initially created with the nomenclature Part [Number in design hierarchy]. Part numbers can be created automatically as well such that you can also use a numbering scheme that has a continuous counter that goes up for any part that is…

How to extrude a feature horizontally from an inclined surface without it following the face normal?
