I have two parts, a base part representing a chuck and a jaw part. In the assembly I orient the jaw to the chuck and then did a circular replication to get the other two jaw parts oriented correctly. Now, I need to make the two new jaws into separate parts to modify the thread positioning. Is that possible or do I have to…

Sweep between solids is incorrect and having problems in assemblies
Hello, So I think there is an issue with an incorrect sweep that I made. When I bring it up in assemblies the different parts break off. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/267b8aece9a2251ecaa9d496/w/e33f5a5020c0ccaccef3bc86/e/cc282a854967dece3b020d7e?renderMode=0&uiState=646e56125124585cc7b28800

Referencing cut list information in assembly drawings and Onshape BOM
Prefacing this with being only a couple weeks into actually using Onshape I have a number of parts studios that use featurescripts to produce a cut list with information we want to show on PDF shop drawings. It's pretty straightforward to insert just the composite part created from the frame tool (etc) into a drawing and…

Finding mate features that relate to an assembly
Is there a way to easily find those mate features that relate to an assembly. I would like to click on an assembly and the related mates be highlighted in the mate features tree, bottom left. The only way i can find those mates is be trawling through all the mates by running my mouse over them to see which is the closest…

What is the best way to share an assembly with a supplier using 'Linkshare', without having to share the entire document? It seems that it is only possible to linkshare the entire document. So, if I were to move the sub-assembly to a new document will all my references to that new sub-assembly follow perfectly inside the…

Why are the icons for these sub-assemblies different, and how can I change them?
I just realized what it was -- the subassemblies were either entirely fixed or had some movable mates.

How to fasten all parts as drawn
I've tried several things here and can't quite get what I want. I have a lot of parts within a Parts Studio drawn exactly how they would go together. I simply want to fasten all of the parts together where they are without having to do a bunch of mates. I've tried simply grouping the parts in an assembly, the using that as…

Can't get pin to follow slot correctly at all
Hey everyone, I've been working on a project where an inside chamber with a pin follows a slot on an outside chamber such that when you twist the inside chamber, it follows the path on the outside chamber and achieves linear motion. However, I haven't been able to get this to animate properly at all. I've tried all sorts…

Advice on Assembly Structure or Methodology for Populating Instances in Large Quantities
I am wondering if anyone has advice for a methodology of populating fasteners or other high quantity instances in high level assemblies without greatly slowing the performance of the assembly. Once I have replicated hundreds of screws, washers, and t nuts in my top level assembly, adding new mates becomes very slow. I like…
