Curve Deviation has become Curve Analyzer
I heavily edited Curve Deviation into Curve Analyzer which can display both deviation and / or curvature or radius, in normal or log scale. Both analysis graphs can be turned on or off, visibility can be set, scaling, and density as well. I also fixed the code so it will work if the curves overlap each other as can be seen…

Merging edges
Hi, I'm trying to find a way to merge edges into a single edge for processing but haven't managed to find a way. I thought maybe composite curves would help but I haven't found a way to make them work. In essence I have flat parts which will have one vertical side and one curved side. If the curved edge is created form a…

What's the best way to join sheet metal parts for an item you don't know all the dimensions?
Sorry I'm not sure on my terminology as a beginner. If you imagine I have created two parallel parts which are complete and I know the dimensions for, I have then used the extrude to 4mm and also bent using K factor within the sheet metal parts for the two parts. I then want to create a joining piece to fit correctly…

Radial dimension not working
When trying to add radial dimension to a drawing I can see the cursor changes to detect the radius but nothing is detected when hovering over the curve on the drawing. The linear dimension do work without a problem.

Export obj or stl file from render studio with the texture attached
A customer has asked for an obj file of the render I sent them with the textures attached so they can create their own renders. Can I do this in Onshape? Or should I tell them that I can't provide that and I will have to use some other cad program to apply a different texture?

How do I create a MAP variable?
I want to store a bunch of information about a bunch of points. I imagine it might look something like var curvePoints = {}; for( i = blah blah blah) { curvePoints[i].start = something; curvePoints[i].end = something; curvePoints[i].radius = something; } but this isnt working.

mismatch between cursor and sketch positions
I just got back from a year away from Onshape and can't even start to sketch because I can't select geometry easily. I may have 9 years Onshape experience, but I've struggled today. So I may have done something stupid. Thanks in advance Cheers Bill (Sydney, Australia)

Onshape is not connected... problem.
Good morning. I have started to see this error message on some models when using my Windows10 all-in-one HP desktop (spec's below). The same documents on my Windows 11 laptop (newer) seem to function normally. I have spent some time trying to solve this issue without success. The same problem arises in all of my browsers,…

Rollback to an old version?
Hello onShape users! This may sound as a silly question, but how can I rollback to a previously saved version? When I am trying to discard the changes in the Main workspace and open the old version it is opened in a read only mode for some reasons. I can see the "Version are in view mode" message. Any hints on how to make…

Settings to improve Onshape performance
I recently created a model that had a lot of primitives and was giving me serious performance issues as it would take around a minute to update any change. Trying to export it as an stl under fine resolution resulted in a 1GB file(This isn't as much of an issue as I can just export under a lower resolution). Is there some…

Select entity for extrusion via API
I've been working on creating tool that interfaces through the OnShape API. I followed this tutorial about how to make a Cylinder, and everything went well: https://onshape-public.github.io/docs/api-adv/featureaccess/#create-a-cylinder In this tutorial, we're shown how to extrude a sketch. However, I would like to extrude…

How do I mate things so that when a rotate on one axis causes a rotate on another.
Hi Onshape Community, I have recently started learning Onshape and have gotten stuck on a new project I'm working on. The goal is to have the levers pin (light blue) interact with the distribution arm (gray) so that it is rotated with the sweeping motion of the pin. I have tried everything I know to try and any help is…

Optional function parameters
Hi. Newbie here. Does FeatureScript support optional function parameters? If not I see two options: Function overloads function decrement(n is number) returns number { return decrement(n, 1); } function decrement(n is number, amount is number) returns number { return n - amount; } Passing undefined as optional parameter…

Export Rules for parts in an assembly?
I've created export rules so that a part would be exported with ${partNumber} ${description}, but it does not seem to work if you export the tab of an assembly. It only applies to the top level of the assembly, not the parts themselves. If someone outside of the company downloads a specific file, the export rules also…

Hi, I have code of the form below. A number of faces are selected, sketches are drawn on the first and last face and then a loft is executed between those sketch regions. The lofted part then needs to cut through all bodies (start, all intermediate and end) which are owners of the selected faces. I'm building an array of…
