Are we able to return a Computed Suface Area of the Sheet Metal Top Side Only in FeatureScript?
I've been searching without luck to see if there is a FeatureScript that outputs into a custom table, the computed surface area of only the top or 'good side' of a flat sheet metal part on the flat? If not, is there a way to return this value in a FeatureScript that I'm not seeing? The basic evArea returns the entire…

Is there a FONT for Text that is automatically ok for stencils
Hi, I am making some stencils (eg to paint, ot Matker Pen, my Name onto a Suitcase). I make a base rectangle, extrude 2mm. Then add Text of Name, Fiddle sizing and extrude Remove. That works well for letters C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,S,T,YOU,V,W,X,Y,Z, But Letters A,B,D,O,P,Q,R, have a Centre - So for those, I am one by one…

is there a way to highlight what isn't contained in a sketch?
I have a couple rather complex sketches that are saying that they are not fully constrained, but I do not see any blue lines or points arm and no idler arm in https://cad.onshape.com/documents/764e57e1318b9953e5986480/w/d0fb021f278db7c3ec637c49/e/54dd0c60efcb38c2a5a9f9f6

REVIEW EXERCISES WITHIN A CLASS
Within the program, I created a class and invited my students to join. I assigned exercises, and they shared their work with me through the same platform. The issue is that, by doing it this way, students can see all the documents in the class (created by themselves and their peers) and copy them. The ownership is listed…

No Triad Manipulator
So, I am new to onshape and so far, it seems pretty easy, in most cases. However, when I click on a part to move it, the triad manipulator never appears. I can't find anything on how to turn it on or off. Pretty important thing I would assume would be easy to use. Can anyone help, please? On using chrome on a Mac. Thanks!

What am I doing wrong? with an update
The attached file is meant to be a reducer with both end having a flat of 25mm. All is good until I hit the remove button when using Loft. I am new to using the Loft facility but just doing a 'regular' loft as a solid it works flawlessly. It is only when I put the hole through I get a missing section. If I do not have the…

Student Progress on Assignments
I recently started using OnShape's Intro to CAD curriculum. I created classes, invited students and loaded lesson "1.1 Jumping Into Onshape". As several of my students have finished tagging items in the scavenger hunt, they have found that they cannot "submit". They only have a share button. Somehow they are copying the…

How can I fill this gap between a part and surface?
I have a part with a channel on the underside. I’m trying to remove the channel and fill the gap so that it matches the surrounding areas the entire surface is smooth. I created a fill surface that matches the area to remove, but I can’t work out how to fill the gap and remove all the uneeded faces on the interior. I tried…

Extrude or other tool to make part follow the curvature of a surface
I have a smooth surface with a "pipe" construction trough it. When extruding and using "remove" it makes a hole in the surface, how can i make it align with the surface to make a solid shape instead of stick out (like in the picture) or just make a hole.

Engineering Change Notices / New Part Introductions & OnShape
I'm currently working on our ECN process and NPI process and would love to know how any of you, specifically at smaller businesses have integrated OnShape with your process. Our current process is very rudimentary, a google sheet and doc that we fill out manually and send out. Is there a better way? Suggestions?

Is it possible to disable the automatic "suggestions" for the merge scope of a hole?
When I add a hole, OnShape will auto-populate the merge scope of that hole. Sometimes this is useful, other times it extends the merge of the hole well beyond what I want it to be, which can be frustrating to have to delete multiple items from the merge scope list when I just want the hole to go all the way through one or…

Onshape keeps disconnecting
Hello, just lately onshape keeps disconnecting and then reconnects. I have never had this problem before it just started. It says "onshape is not connected your document is saved attempting to reconnect". It does it quite often maybe every 10 to 15 minutes. Thank you for your help.

Sketch on Mate Connector
I'm working on a featurescript that takes a mate connector as an input, makes a sketch on a plane that is orthogonal to the mate connector, and revolves the sketch. My question is, if I create a mate connector with opMateConnector, how do I later query it for use in other functions like newSketchOnPlane? (for context of…
