No problems there. I am trying to add fillets to the edges created along the edges from the cylinder to the prism. I have tried…

How to make mate connectors invisible (Bolts and nuts from standard library)
I want to make the fastened mate connectors after inserting bolts and nuts from standard library invisible. After inserting, the mate connectors are visible by default unlike the other mate connectors. Also, under the feature manager tree, the mates (fastened) all say "Invisible" or click to hide. But they are visible in…

Frame assembly drawing aren't able to access cut list of the composite parts making up the assembly.
I am building a Trailer Frame but am having trouble accessing cut lists of the composite parts that I have created in my drawings. I was hoping to create step by step assembly drawings with the use of an assembly that is made up of composite parts that define each new step in the assembly. Even though my assembly is made…

Rotate plane so that horizontal direction matches other sketches
I've created a plane that this perpendicular to a line in a sketch (had to use a mate connector to achieve this). However, for the lack of a better way to describe it, the secondary axis of the plane is not horizontal. I would like it horizontal so that I can use the horizontal constraint to ensure conformity with other…

CAD clean up for CFD simulation
Hello! I'm working on a CFD simulation for a small pump impeller using SimScale (first image). The platform’s integration with Onshape makes it convenient to import my geometries directly. However, I’m encountering some challenges with CAD cleanup before meshing, and I’d appreciate any insights. Outlet Geometry Issue – The…

Sketch dimension text
Is it still true that you cannot add text to a dimension in sketch mode? Like when I have 8 concentric diameters to dimension, I can't put "flange nut b.c." and "pitch CL" on respective dims, to tell them apart?

What could be causing this projection to change? (is it a bug?)
I've made very small angular adjustments to a sketch and a sketch below it that projected a curve has changed dramatically. Asking here is a really long shot, but who knows - maybe someone has encountered this before and can confirm that it's a bug, or maybe it isn't! I'll walk through the only diffs and you'll see it…

Can I create my logo as a 'permanent feature' of sorts?
I want to be able to add my logo to my drawings and designs. Can I do this some how without having to draw it from scratch each time? I have drawn my logo and extruded it to 2mm in a document of its own. To be able to access this and resize it in other documents for quick use would be so much easier than having to draw it…

Auto dimensions using variables
Hi, When adding sketch entities the dimension boxes only seem to enable when a numeric character is entered, it would be nice if they also enabled when the # or an alpha key is pressed to allow variables to be entered? Currently I type a 0, backspace and then enter the variable name. Maybe I’m missing something? Thanks.

cannot find a good worm gear featurescript
Hello again, I am looking for a worm gear to worm gear drive on a 12 mm shaft (maybe 10mm) to be a 1:1 at 45 degrees. I want to 3d print this and I only found 2 feature scripts dealing with this. The first was a globoid worm drive, which is honestly a bit weird. Then I found a promissing worm gear feature script BUT, it is…
