How can I make multiple similar parts without making each one individually?
Like a bunch of different length fasteners or drive shafts where the only difference is a single length dimension. I need 24 different objects and yeah I could just make 24 but it seems like there must be an easier way of doing this and if I learned it, things could be easier in other projects. Any help is appreciated!

Datetimes in FeatureScript?
I do a lot of 3D print prototyping with onshape, and I've started to heavily use the convert to expression feature in sketch text elements. I was wondering if there is a way to also include the current date/time in that so if I have a bunch of parts I know what the newest one is. I realize this might be hard on the kernel…

How are people dealing with things that are measured by length on a BOM?
A concrete example I am dealing with is gaskets: we often use adhesive gaskets that come on a roll and may have several different cut bits to make door seal. We do want the CAD model for the gasket but we end up with several parts that should all have the part number of the gasket. However in ERP we have the part number is…

Easier or smarter way to create multiple versions /templates?
Hi all, I'll provide some short context to help aid in answering my question: I model simple 'test-fixtures' that variably accommodate a specific wire connector for my job. They remain identical, except the width of a test-fixture model depends on the width of the connector. I'm trying to standardize my team's modeling…

making use of "throw" information
When using a function like createPath(), that will throw "Edges do not form a continuous path." if given disjointed inputs, how would I best kill the regeneration and tell the user what's wrong? I feel like there's probably a simple way I'm not aware of. I'm currently trying this, but it doesn't seem to run the catch…

Can a variable in a Part Studio be used in an Assembly?
The documentation page for Variable Table (Part Studio) says: A Variable table is created in a document and the variables therein are immediately available for use in all Part Studios and Assemblies in that document workspace. But the only way I've found to use variables in an assembly is to use a Variable Studio. It does…

evDistance(), but for paths?
I'm looking for a way to find the closest point on a path and, most importantly to find the parameter of the point found. For a single curve, I'd use evDistance(), which would return a DistanceResult containing the parameter, but this doesn't work on paths that I'm aware. Any other methods? I considered hacking it by using…

Any way to select or delete parts which do NOT appear in an assembly?
I am dealing with STEP assemblies containing about 900 parts, and they all appear in one part studio, and none of them have helpful names. I am slowly rebuilding the main assembly and many of the parts are duplicates and not needed. Is there any way to easily select or delete the parts which either ARE or ARE NOT in the…

STEP import missing colors (has the .STEP file import process been changed?)
The same .STEP files that imported correctly with their proper colors back in January 2024 now import without colors (with default OnShape color palette) as of April 2024 using the exact same import settings. Is anyone else also having this issue? Has something been changed in the program since January that affects this…
