Mates - How to prevent the last link from moving relative to the previous one?
Hi everyone, I've created a manipulator model in Onshape using revolute mates (from left: column- fixed, link1, link2, link3 - all revolute). I want to make sure that the last link (link3) does not move relative to the previous one (link2) when I move the first link (link1) . How can I achieve this? Before moving first…

Problems merging parts
Hi there, I am very new to 3d modeling so my issue might be just that I dont know where to look. I am trying to merge parts in part studio with the boolean function and there seems to be a problem with it. I cant figure out what is the issue or how to merge the parts together. I am trying to make box for a gift so my next…

Is there a function in FeatureScript can perform operation `suppress`?
Hello everyone, my question is: Take chamfer as an example. Its operation is on some edges or faces. However, after the operation, the operated faces or edges will disappear, making it impossible for me to trace their information through transientId. In the main drawing page of onshape, the chamfer operation can be…

Why can I not see +Render Studio?
I've been teaching the use of Onshape since 2019, I loved Reality Server as an App, but that closed. I've been trying to use Blender! But was surprised to see that I should have access to the render studio? But when I hit the plus button I cannot see it : can anyone help, please? I'm so excited, but wonder if it is another…

Please help me: `deterministicIds` DO NOT in ALL ids returned by `qeverything()`
I want to convert deterministicIds(in feature list) into query and then parse it. The conversion code is as follows: body = { "script": "function(context is Context, queries) { " " const _ = qEverything();" " const all_q = evaluateQuery(context, _);" " var target_q = -1;" " return transientQueriesToStrings(all_q);" " for…

How do I extrude along this path?
I am trying to extrude the hexaganal shape along the construction path, but I can't work out how to do it. I thought I would select the hex shape, and then check "direction" which would allow me to click on the path. Howeever it will not let me select the arch shaped path shown below. Is there any way of doing this?

Add variables using checkboxes
Hi. I am pretty new to onshape but not CAD work. I picked up the CAD portion of onshape rather quickly and am loving it but now i am trying to investigate featurescripts. I have successfully created a feature script that, when i add it to a part studio, adds a ton of variables with set sizes. This is nice because now…

Flat Pattern Drawing Layers
When you export a dxf it contains dozens of layers most of which i have never seen used. Is there a way to contol what entities wind up assigned to a layer? For example, the larger circle that comes with a countersinking operation is on layer 0. It would be nice to get it on a dedicated Engraving layer so my machine…

Confusing portion of Extrude exercise in Introduction to Part Design; you might want to clarify
In "Exercise: Extrude" in "Introduction to Part Design", slide 6, the exercise call out the back face of the part to start a new sketch on, and in slide 7 it notes that the sketch was setup by hitting N to make the back face normal for the sketch. However, if you start from the part orientation in slide 6, click the face,…

polygon line
Hi, I'm trying to thicken a polygonal line on an origami rabbit (to make a kind of spider web), but the program doesn't want to allow me to do this for the entire polygonal line and I can only cut out individual sections, then I have to make a new sketch and if I mark the wrong section, nothing works again... Is there a…

What is my student missing? This sketch will not define
Hello! New CAD teacher here, and I'm learning Onshape alongside my students this year. We're working through the Unit 2 Skate Deck, and in 2.5, I have several students stuck trying to define their sketches when the splines are added to the sides of the board. One student added splines, and the sketch remains defined, if he…

can we use a point in Plane A as the Mid Point to constrain a sketch on Plane B?
Hi Everyone, I recently watched a Youtube vedio - links are at blow. At 2:07 , the author seems to be using a point in Plane A as the Mid Point to constrain a sketch on Plane B ? I speculate it as he is using the project of that point on Plane 1 as the Mid Point to constrain the edge of the hexagon ? But i didn't find any…

I'm looking to convert an STL to NURBS directly, face-for-face
I've downloaded this file intended for use on blender for a character from a game i like. I imported it into blender as a converted STL and took away all the surfaces i didn't need. I then imported it into Onshape to check if it was a surface or a set of full parts. I want to directly turn this closed-body STL into STEP or…

But when I check the mass, mine doesn't match up with any of the answer choices provided at the self-check at the end of the exercise on the website. I…

Change a Part on an existing component
Hello everyone, I've recently started using OnShape and have previously worked a lot with Tinkercad, but since I now have a very complex component that I want to change, I've reached a limit with Tinkercad. With Onshape I was already able to implement a large part of the changes, but now I can no longer make any progress…

But now I don’t know how to use queryString, can anyone help me? Thank you "featureType": "newSketch", "btType": "BTMSketch-151",…

Setting / sharing variable studio variables
Hi, As I understand it, setVariable sets variables in the context which is fine if the variables are only required to be shared between features within the current document, but is it possible to create / update variable studio variables in FS to share across multiple documents? Thank you.

Revolute mates with sub assembly
Hi, I hope I'm using the correct terminology; apologies if I'm not. I created an assembly of a leg with a bearing tube for a piece of scissor lifting equipment. The leg attaches to a lifting bed and requires to have some freedom of rotational movement but attached to the pivot point on the bed. However when I use a…
