Fillets on internal corners
Hi, I have bodies which look like this: I'm trying to workout how to find the internal corner edges so I can apply fillets? I'm using qSmallest(qOwnedByBody(body, EntityType.EDGE)) (is there a better way?) which returns all 8 corner edges but how should I filter the inner ones? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Is ONSHAPE a true replacement for traditional CAD?
Our company has used Solidworks for as long as I can remember. We receive Gigabyte big step model files from our customers from which we design our specialised tooling around their model.

Importing a text file of x y z points
Hi I can't find an answer here but does anyone know if it's possible to import a txt file of x y z points. Does OnShape have a different file format or anything? Solidworks uses .sldcrv which is just a renamed .txt file in a certain format. I've attached the file I want to import. Any help would be greatly appreciated.…

Best way to warn user of something without overriding active info messages?
I've got a feature that is reporting some useful info most of the time using reportFeatureInfo(). There are some cases where I'd like to let the user know something isn't quite right, without totally ending the feature and replacing that message. I'd like to turn the feature red and let the user see a message on mouseover…

Is it possible to change colors of a callout?
Hey I was just curious if it was possible to adjust the color of a single callout (or even better a single reference inserted from a table or BOM in call out) as opposed to adjusting the colors of ALL all outs?

Re-use a part in a part-studio config
So here is my issue, I have a part studio for 4 sided box (4 different parts). I have configs for different sizes. I'd like to re-use the part number if the part is re-used. Example: Face a in Config A is 32". In Config B, it's also 32". I don't want to spool up another PN, then modify BOMs. Is there a way to do this? Or…

Hidden lines on drawing not consistent with part
Hidden lines being displayed on the DWG are not consistent with the part geometry. For some reason, they are displaying wrong. Is there something I am missing?? They should be following the blue dashed line I drew over the DWG, not what is encircled by the red. I have tried to refresh, turn hidden lines on/off, etc…

Gridfinity generator with bins that fit filler base space
I found this pretty awesome Gridfinity Generator https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f307f8af01083b99b55bbcf9/w/e62d7ab7a660a796bb9461a7/e/6f4023e4bb25eda38c5e4f2d and found that adding filler to the base will add a new section for a bin to be slotted in. I am wondering if it's possible to use this generator to also create…
