Reason for body draft failure?
Body draft seems to be a fancy feature, but I never get it work. Here are 2 examples. Example 1: Body part fails to generate unless those 2 surfaces under red lines are excluded. On the other hand, draft command can finish the same task as expected. Example 2: When there is a step, body draft does not work unless I exclude…

Some feedback on the Intro to Design Course
First — thank you for the course. The free education is worth the work required. That said, I ran into a clarity issue that took me a long time to figure out, so here's my feedback: In the Introduction to Part Design Course In the Feature Creation / Exercise: Extrude Going from step 6 to step 7 When you select the back…

Exporting parts as single meshes instead of many sub-meshes.
Hi there. So, I'm trying to use the GLTF exporter to transfer my Onshape models to the Godot engine for viewing purposes. Coming from Inventor, I was initially really excited to be able to go directly to GLTF and skip the 3DSmax -> FBX steps, but I'm running into a roadblock. It would seem that instead of creating a single…

Sketch features not showing as fully defined
When I add a new feature to a sketch and then dimension it, it stays blue colored instead of turning black to indicate it is defined. Other than the color remaining blue after dimensioning, the feature behaves like it is defined but it is just visually confusing to know which lines have been defined and which have not…

Inserting derived assembly into part studio
There are parts I've downloaded that are assemblies; bearings for example that have inner and outer races, retainers, and balls. When I attempt to insert the bearing as a derived part into a part studio I'm working in it comes in as individual parts. There doesn't appear to be a way to group the individual parts once…

Is there a way to always have the "show expressions" option on when entering/viewing a sketch?
I'm working on a object with a lot of parametrization. On some parts, numbers don't really mean anything right now/I'd like to see the expressions, but I always have to activate that setting when entering a sketch. Is there a way to enable the "Show expressions" by default? Or per sketch/document?

Intro to Part Design basic question
I took Onshape basic online training about four years ago and happily used the platform to create some useful parts. After some time away, I recently came back to create more parts and am now taking the "CAD Basics" course as a brush-up/refresher. However, I'm finding it more difficult than the first time around, starting…

Hi all, I am struggling with using Curve Pattern, maybe someone here can point out what I'm doing wrong - I want to pattern a gear tooth along a spiral curve.

I tried a number of options here but couldn't get it to…
