Movement in upper assembly
Hi everyone, I defined a movement of a part in an assembly (Hood, see the picture below). Now I added this assembly to an upper assembly (box below). The movement of the subassembly is gone. Is there a way to get this movement? Or do I need to construct it from top to down, so that this subassembly doesn't exist anymore?…

Lock position in assembly
Hello, I’m working on an assembly and I’m having trouble keeping one part fixed in place. When I use the "Lock at current position" option, I can still move the part on its own, and it even shifts when I add mate features with other components. Can anyone explain what the lock actually does, and how I can properly keep a…

Modified off-the-shelf parts
In SW, I would make an assembly, then use assembly features to make the modification. Then in the drawing I can use a BOM to show what components went into the modified "assembly". Often there would be only one line in the BOM. In OS, I can use a "Derived" feature in a part studio to bring in the components, but I see no…

Strange Undefined (?) Sketch Arc Never Goes Away
Hi, I'm a student designing for FRC team 2415 and I've discovered a weird error that I don't even understand. I was designing a gusset for our robot when these unselectable, omnipresent undefined arcs appeared in the parts studio. When I checked the assembly I had used the part it, they appeared there too! Only information…

Relative transformation/distance between mate connectors
Is it possible to measure the relative distance and orientation between two mate connectors as expressed in the reference frame of one of the mate connectors? Currently, as far as I can tell, when using the measure tool between two mate connectors in an assembly I can only get the relative distance as expressed in the x,…

How can I align parts in an assembly?
I am learning about assemblies but I can't figure out from the interface how to align parts in an assembly. I am essentially joining extruded triangles with rounded corners. I have three triangles on one side and four facing triangles on the other side. The "points" of the triangles of one side are facing the points on the…

Promblem with placing dimensions in assembly drawing
Hi guys, I have a problem with dimension tool in drawing of assembly mode. I cannot put almost any dimension, for example external/internal diameter of top view of this model: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6082f9fbf7664e6cb1feb4e0/w/d7182cc60750ae1cb1d898bf/e/a4b16b06989363d0f4c2d871 Can anyone help me with that?

Custom Mate Connectors not coming over to assembly
Hey folks - I know this question has been asked in other forms, but none of the solutions helped and this is actually in the classroom tutorial from Onshape. I'm doing the "bricks/lego" project and when we reach assembly, the mates created in the part studio (which are not inferable from the geometry) don't carry over.…
