Managing and Referencing Associated files to a Part or Drawing or Assembly
How do you manage or reference associated files to a Part or Drawing or Assembly? Engineering does not create 'artwork'; however, we need to reference it on our drawings. Also, many of our packaging items do not have 'part files' as they are made from .pdf or .ai (Illustrator) files / Die Lines, that we do not create but…

Tube coping angle and distance from tubular frame / frame-trim tools
Hey all, Designing a bike frame using tubular frame and I was hoping that frame/frame-trim would produce a correct angle / distance which I could use to notch my tube using a a hole-saw but seems like that's not possible? If you take a look at my (WIP) frame you'll see I've use frame-trim to cut my frame to size. My cut…

Fewest features to create a hexagonal surface
In the context of another problem, I needed to create some flat surfaces that have "complex" perimeters. I'll use a hexagon here but the real surfaces may have more complex perimeters. I tried a few things in this document flat surface | offset surface. Extruding a surface sounds enticing but that make surfaces out of the…

Assembly Drawing - Cannot create "zero" (0.00) dimension between parts aligned on the same plane.
I have an assembly drawing of a stack of components. Some of the components need to align on the same plane. On a cross-section, I would like to show that the edges of the two parts can be aligned with some tolerance (i.e. 0.00+/-0.50mm). For the life of me, I cannot create such dimension. I have tried line-to-point,…

Pattern a part that has patterned mate connectors?
I am modifying the Intro to CAD Unit 3 lesson (lego blocks) so that my students are only doing 3.1 and then not setting up configurations. I was hoping I could just pattern the first brick and then make various colors of the same brick. However, it looks like I can select only the first mate connector to pattern with the…

I would like to make the left edge of the 5 x 50 rectangle not just tangent to the 7 mm circle (as it now is), but vertically centered (along its 5 mm edge) to the center line of the concentric circles. I thought midpoint could help, but can't get it to work with the center point of the circles. If you can help, many…

These are…

Spline with 2 control points - dimensions but not fully defined?
Hi, I am new to onshape (and CAD in general) and I've been trying over and over again to get a simple 2 control point spline curve to become "fully defined" (indicated by outline going from blue to black). I watched a video and did what I saw there and added dimensions to both of the control points…defined their length and…

I've got a ton of custom features in my toolbar, and I'm wanting to clean up the list a bit by making custom icons for my favorite features.
