How to use a variable value in an assembly configuration?
I am using a Variable Studio inside my Assembly. I would like to store variable values in the Assembly Configuration, and to calculate with them. Example for a shelving configurator: Assembly configuration "high", #AmountOfShelves = 6, #AmountOfWashers=4x#AmountOfShelves Assembly configuration "low", #AmountOfShelves = 3,…

New FeatureScript Concept - Smart(er) fillet
Link first Smart(er) Fillet: a FeatureScript that figures out your maximum fillet radius before you do. The intention of this FeatureScript is not really to replace the current fillet tool, at least not right now, but to share an idea of how features can be computationally smarter and more user-friendly. It came up from…

Export rules does not apply to multiple exported files inside ZIP file
Hey, As my title: Export rules does not apply to multiple exported files inside ZIP file. So I have several drawings I need to export to PDF. its over 20, so it's not impossible to do one and one( but this is not scalable in the long run, if I add 20 more parts and do a new revision its not unlikely I need to do 40…

My Feature Script 'Spring Maker' stopped working
Not sure when this happened but all the springs, made using a feature script, we named 'Spring Maker V2.1', are failing. If I go back to any earlier release or version the springs generate fine. The error I get is 'Spring Maker V2.1 did not generate properly; Could not create a valid swept body, check input.'

Timing Belt Pulley (New FeatureScript)
TLDR: Featurescript to create timing belt pulleys. Currently supports GT2-2M and GT2-3M profiles. I'd appreciate feedback on which other profiles to support next. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/55ae3138e0cd7c325239208b/w/c97698491e3111712f79c19b/e/d2190ac9a7351530ae3efe66?renderMode=0&uiState=62f0911532b0144649ff3945…

Cannot select a vertex on a mesh
Hey, just loaded up a scanned mesh to have as a reference. Scaling the mesh down made me unable to select any vertices. Gradually scaling up makes it so i cant choose some, letting me select only some vertices. Is there a way to fix this? I guess the only workaround is just to scale the model 10x and then scale the…

Lofting
Hi I have been trying to loft a half circle with a square with the top missing (Three sided.) I then tried to divide the half circle into three parts so they would be equal parts to the 3 sided square. I have done this before but now unable to. If you can get to my onshape it is you will see it.…

Auto Layout updated to V3.1: oriented parts!
Added an option per some forum requests to allow specified orientation of parts. Parts will still need to be of equal thickness, but for all parts of a given thickness selecting a face as a "face to orient" will ensure that face is nested facing downwards, allowing for 2.5- or 3-axis machining on a router. All parts…

Plastic Threads - American Flat 6 - Odd behavior
Hello, I am designing a part that will be made in steel. I wanted to get a 3D printed version as a sanity check but the threads are not coming out OK. I was happy to see this feature script but it is showing some odd behavior.…

Transfering from a student to personal account
I have been using Onshape for nearly 3 years now. It is perhaps the best 3D functional CAD software I have tried, which is why I have persisted working with it. I have learned 3D CAD here, and started my 3D design and printing business using Onshape. Currently, I am on a student plan, which will expire soon as I graduate…

I cannot get this shape right
I am not a newbie and have a some experience with Onshape, but I am running into issues getting this shape right. It is a rectangular shape with 2 straight and 2 curved sides. The bottom is where I am running into issues. The way I am trying to do it, is giving me unnecessary facets: I just want the bottom edge to run…

Can anyone tell me how to fix it?
I'm fairly new to OnShape so I'm trying new things. I made a vector file in illustrator, saved it as an SVG, and then converted it to DXF. When I brought it into Onshape it tells me that this operation cannot complete because it creates geometry that is beyond the system limit. The image I brought in is massive compared to…

How can I fix the connections in a bar linkage of a robotic arm assembly exported as an URDF?
Hello, I'm a college student with a robotic project for educational purposes and I'm trying to make a functional URDF file that moves the same way my assembly does, however after I export it as an URDF I see some issues between the revolute mates between the bars in the arm assembly. Since the bars need a revolute mate in…

Work with Trackpad on MacBook?

Extrude
is it possible to extrude a flat rectangle uniformly below a beam that has faces that vary. Think of the side of a flat car. The side beam is a standard height over most of its length. At either end the height changes at an angle down to a lower height. Across the bottom over the entire uneven portion of the beam is a…

Loft creating a negative space of what I need
I'm attempting to create a solid loft with a conical surface, starting from a recessed central hole and splaying out to a larger forward oval. I've tried lofting using the floor and rim of the cavity as the references, but I get the error message about closed loops. When I create a surface spanning both holes and loft from…

Question about grading assignments.
Having watched some of the Onshape webinar/videos for educators they show the ability to mark individual student assignments as "graded" or "needs revision". In my classes I can see assignments as they are submitted by my students, but there are no options available beneath the green "Submitted" button allowing me to do…

Connecting two extruded sketches
Hi New to onshape and just trying to get familiar with some key concepts - I'm struggling to connect two extruded sketches I can see that one extrusion is grey and the other is blue - I presume that this means they are not connected and therefore when I try to fillet the cylinder wall, it can't resolve. I'd like the blue…

"Use" command in a sketch does not update after upstream changes
I have a part studio that has a body that is a composite of multiple bodies (all defined from the start in Onshape in this feature tree). After the Boolean, I select a face that spans across what used to be multiple bodies and start a sketch. I click the "use" command to convert the edge bounds of that face to a sketch,…

Angled corner profile
Hello, I'm trying to make a 45 degree corner profile. The problem I'm facing is that I have to turn and rotate each side of the profile and add an extrusion at an angle and I'm not sure what's the best instrument to achieve this. So far I did this using the draft: but I need both profile sides to be at the angle 45 degrees…

Issue Filleting Wing(Loft) to Fuselage(Loft).
Hello, I'm having trouble adding a fillet between the Wings and Fuselage in this Project. I can't choose a radius even remotely close to what im after. I would like to add maybe 10 to 15 mm but whenever I try to fillet with more than 1 mm it fails. Creating a 0.5 mm fillet works. A 1mm Fillet prompts the error: "Fillet…
