Export STL of Assembley with all parts in context
Hello, I have a large assembly that uses many unique and standard parts. I would like to export the assembly as an STL with individual parts. I would like it that when I open the parts in another software like Blender that all the parts open where they should in the exact same place as in the assembly. Currently, all the…
Automation for assemblies
Hi all, One of my company's products is a modular roof-edge solar installation. For each project, we line the roof (flat roof, think top of an apartment building) with our solar units using a small handful of configured parts. First, the base unit assembly is defined by things like solar panel size and angle of…
Subassembly is not updating
How do I get a subassembly to update in another assembly? I'm somewhat new to Onshape so I'm thinking I must just be missing something? Here is the link to the document: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/0972c60bd97f846dd45ef552/w/0b8a3bba54a2f379908deb3e/e/eae8273619aef6653973b63c I want the assembly "Mezzanine Main…
Jump to Drawing from Part Studio
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to jump to a part drawing from the part studio or assembly. We keep all of our document drawings in a separate sub-folder, to keep things tidy. Does anyone know if it is possible to jump to a parts drawing instantly, or is the only way to get to it to go through the tab manager?…
Assemblies - Replicated parts orientation
Is there any way to make the replicate tool in assemblies align to specified orientations different from the replicated part? I've tried mating to non-round pockets and faces (features with obvious directionality) to try to force the replicated parts to face the direction I'd like them to face, but they always orient in…
What's the best way to organize documents when I have multiple assemblies from common parts?
Hi, I developed a product that originated in SW and migrated to OS over the past 3 years. The design has stabilized now, but I'd like to rebuild my assemblies to use them for animation and marketing purposes. Everything is a bit of a mess after all of this time, so I'm going to clean things up (get organized) and I'd like…
Using part studio sketches in Assemblies
I have an assembly with 3 parts, Each in their own studio and imported. One of them has a sketch that is located and drawn according to several measurements off of that part. I want to use that sketch to cut the shape in the other two parts, but can not find any way to get the sketch to show up. I have been redrawing the…
How to correctly organize a purchased component that needs motion?
I have been putting purchased or "standard" components in a separate documents to link into whichever project they are needed in case they needed to be used in multiple projects. (Bearings, shoulder bolts, anything not included in Onshape's standard library) Inside the linear actuator document, I have made an assembly of…
