Help with understanding assemblies
I have created a chicken coop design. All in one parts studio. It has 105 parts, most of which are wood beam/cladding. My understanding is that in order to create a drawing, I need to create assemblies of the different "groups" in the coop (skeleton, walls, floor, roofs, ramp). So I started inserting these, but I don't…

I have been trying to figure out a way to delete this insert but I cant seem to find a way.

Copy from assembly into part studios
I have imported a file (a shipping container) from an online site. The parts are all over the place in a part studio but correct position in an assembly. I tried editing in context because I needed the parts in place. But it doesn't really work as I want. i have added arena in from different assemblies into one complete…

Why is my assembly overdefined?
Sorry I'm still a beginner, but I cant seem to understand what joint is over defining my assembly. I just want to pull the finger down by pulling a solenoid back, but when i put the final revolute joint, it all breaks. If i suppress the slider joint and freely move it, then its perfectly capable of doing the motion I want,…

Gear relation is working when I move one of the parts, but not the other.
Ok, I'm stumped on this one. I have a gear relation between two parts, and the gear relation appears to work when turning one of the parts, but no the other. I've included a gif to illustrate the issue. I can't figure out what is going on here. I've got several other gear relations in this assembly that all work perfectly.…

How to fix Onshape highlighting parts + layering them up??
Hello, I am a user of Onshape Educational edition, and currently use it to design a robot for the 2024-2025 FTC challenge. Recently, I've been running into some issues where Onshape, when rotating, zooming in/out, panning, or dragging, would highlight around the parts it thinks the mouse is on, and layer them up like…

Laggy Rendering of Parts in Assembly - How to Solve?
I have noticed that my top-level assembly has recently begun to render in odd ways when viewing it, especially when orbiting or zooming in and out, as you can see in the screenshot I included, None of my other assemblies or part studios behave this way (though they are smaller). Parts also appear to black out in some…

Can mass properties of parts be accessed in the context of an assembly?
I'm looking to export a list of mass, volume and centroid of all of the parts in an assembly. As far as I can tell endpoint: /assemblies/d/{did}/{wvm}/{wvmid}/e/{eid}/massproperties, only allows to show the mass properties of the entire assembly. From there I explored getting the assembly definition, and looping over every…

animations/exploded views
Hello fellow educators. I have teaching CAD to high school students for over ten years, and have been using onshape for about 6 months. I have students start with basic sketches and extrusions, and move onto reverse engineering small multipart toys using calipers. They then assemble the parts of the toy in an assembly. My…

Replicate breaking mates
Hey, So I've built some assemblies and they work fine. The parts have zero freedom in the assembly and are all located as I want them to. Then I put that assembly into a higher assembly and it works, it looks great, everything in the initial instance is in the right place but then I replicate it and the replications have…
