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…

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…

Right order of doing things in onshape?
Hello everybody,I am new to On-shape, about 2 months now. I am a machine design engineer by profession with a back ground in 2d cad. I taught myself 3d cad. First I was using OpenScad for a few years, but I decided that it has a ceiling too low for what I need. So I learn On-shape, and loving it. I did several of the…

What determines when a line can be used as "rip edge" for the flatten feature?
I'm having a hard time parsing when a line is able to be used as a rip edge. I've created a 3d loft and projected lines to the surface (and in some instances split the faces with said lines. Still I can't get some lines to highlight for rip edge. Loft / Sketch / Project / Split Faces / Flatten I can highlight some of the…

"Cannot resolve entities" error with sheet metal tool
Hi I am very new here. I have been designing a backpack for cycling, and thought it would be a good idea to use the sheet metal tool to convert my 3d model of the pack to a flat pattern that I would use as a sewing pattern aid. When I go to use the sheet metal tool to convert the model to sheet metal, it gives me a "cannot…

(un)suppress a folder from a configuration
The new ability to (un)suppress a folder of features in the UI is awesome. Thanks. I don't however see a way to do this from a configuration. I do see that you can add all of the features in a folder using configure suppression but that adds a column for each of the 17 features in the folder rather than one column for the…

is there a way to automatically set material to all your designed parts?
My question is about material designation. Is there a way to do this as a global setting before you start designing your parts? For instance if you will make something with your 3d printer you know before hand that all your printed parts will be ABS for example. You know all your brass inserts are brass, like wise all your…
