How do I import a dxf file into a parts studio?
I remember being able to import a dxf file into a parts studio, to be fully edited or whatever I needed to do with it. But now, I can't seem to add a dxf into a specific parts studio, and am stuck with only being able to open it with ares kudo, with no editing capability. Am I missing something here?

I cannot find the function to "Use (Project/Convert)" an existing face (which the feature user would define), onto a sketch that I create in my featurescript. Is it not implemented, or am I just failing at finding it?

Ray Tracer - Refraction in adjoining parts?
I am attempting to model refraction at the interface of two differing materials using the Ray Tracer feature script. I am finding that the feature script does not account for adjoining materials. Rather, the entrance and exit of the traced ray from any part acts as if the interface were between the part and air (the…

Hi everyone, I have a surface with a hole inside, and I'm interested in the total length of the outside contours (excluding the length of the edges around the hole). i.e. the length of all the selected edges in the example below. Is there a way to get this wihout having to select individual edges, but only the face?…

Use a part with 5000+ pieces in an assembly
I'm designing an avionics panel in an aircraft. All I care about is the outer shell of each avionics component to determine where to cut holes in the panel, route wires etc. I have models for a couple of the avionics boxes from manufactuers. But unlike most of the avionics models I have, these are not one piece I can click…

Assembly Mates with Subassemblies are driving me crazy - what am I doing wrong??
Hey folks, I'm sorry but working with Assembly mates in Onshape is driving me crazy. Here is my current problem. I'm trying to assemble a subassembly into an upper level assembly. Because my subassembly is, in turn, made up of it's own subassemblies, when I bring it in and add a mate it is only moving part of the…

Right-click stopped working on Mac
MacOS 12.1 on a 2017 MacBook Air. I'd been away from OnShape for a few months. When I came back, right-clicking now brings up the browser's right-click options rather than OnShape's. I tried both Safari and Firefox, and I plugged in a real mouse. Nothing works. When I switch to a Windows computer, it works fine. I don't…

How to I deselect individual parts in an Assembly?
Say I box-select a bunch of stuff to delete, but want to keep a couple of parts. My natural inclination is just to ctrl+click on them to remove them from the selection, as this is how it works in everything from other CAD and 3D software, to RTS games, to Windows itself. Is there a shortcut to do this or do I just have to…

Is there a setting to change the color scheme?
The background is default set to white, which is absolute terror on the eyes, and the main reason I've been drawn away from using Onshape. Perhaps something similar to AutoCad Inventor, SolidWorks, what have you, where there are preset alternate color schemes, and the option to set your own colors.
