When I add a radius and change the dimension of the radius onshape decides I need to move my line over some arbitrary amount instead of shortening both lines the required amount for the radius. Now another issue when I am adding a line in a sketch, wherever I stop my line and then enter a dimension, it doesn't make it that…

Creating seamless transitions between two lofts
I am trying to make a helmet and I thought it was done, but when I exported it into blender for texturizing I noticed that the two main lofts I made for the helmet are not joined smoothly and there's a crease. I think it may be related, but there's also a gap in the two halves of the helmet on one side after I mirror the…

New to onshape. How do I fillet an inside corner of an STL mesh file.
I'm trying to edit this STL I built in thingiverse. The part where the double helix connects to the base is too weak and easily breaks after printing. I'd like to reinforce that by creating a rounded fillet. I'm able to import the file into Onshape but when I try to use the fillet tool nothing happens. I'm sure I'm missing…

Constrained view rotate not working for me
I've tried doing a constrained rotate (using default Alt + right mouse button drag) and it just does a normal 3D rotate. I've also tried clicking on the constrained rotate as Default so it should do it with just a right mouse button drag. Still does a normal 3D rotate. Also tried a different browser and different computer.…

In the above screenshot, given the selection of the cylinder, I would like to choose the magenta face (and not the red, nor green, nor cyan ones) amongst all the faces qAdjacent finds. The reason to choose the magneta one is that it is the only face which "encloses" the cylindrical face. What kind of featurescript test…

Nesting Sheet Metal parts in Drawing
Is there a tool or featurescript that allows to nest a bunch of flat sheet metal parts to one Drawing or Sketch? To export to DXF. I need to laser-cut many parts in one go. Preferrably nicely packed together. Now I manually place them in a drawing, but that is too painful, as the parts are also subject to change based on…
