composite parts

I am currently drawing up plans for a new balcony, which includes drawings of two composite parts that also have a number of holes in them. In order to keep the drawing somewhat tidy, I'd like to use a hole table, however it seems like this is not possible with composite parts(?). In the part studio, all the holes are…

Hello Onshapers, For a composite part in a part studio created by a Composite part feature (vs derived), how can I find that feature that created it? I would expect cross-highlighting between the feature list and parts list, but that doesn't happen for composite parts. With sufficient discipline, when creating a composite…

Hi all, I have a surfaces/composite part model that I want to turn into a single solid so I can create cut outs. Anyone know how I can do this? File is below. Thanks in advance https://cad.onshape.com/documents/21b70d3354c4cef991db9e6f

I feel like I'm missing something here, but basically every time I use composite parts they let me down. What I wanted and expected was that it would let me treat a group of bodies as a single part/body, even if they were disjoint. Instead it seems more like a way to make an assembly with group mates from within a part…

Hi, I am creating an assembly having 2 composite parts (frames / weldments) and several shafts and rollers as individual parts. Now I can select with the button to show composite parts, parts, etc… but I how to manually choose the individual parts or all the parts inside the composite parts will be inserted also. Is it…

Hello! I have been testing some of the available feature scripts for changing part numbers and descriptions on some of our parts. None of the custom features seem to work because the parts are composite parts. Is there a trick to using featurescript to change properties on composite parts?

I have a fairly complex assembly that has multiple layers of configurations in both parts and sub assemblies. I am at a point where I am fine-tuning the model for access using the API and repetitive drawings, and I am trying to determine which factors most affect the speed of regeneration once I change configurations.…

I created a new feature that allows selection of bodies by type for creating composites. I needed this because we have variable numbers of parts in our part studios and thus the manual selection option that comes with the built in composite tool doesn't work. On reflection, a better solution might be if the part studio…

I am trying to create a scene with Reality Server but it has brought the two composite parts in the assembly in as a bright pink and doesn't seem to allow me to add materials/appearances to them the normal way. Is there something else that I have to do?

I think it could be useful to be able to dissolve composite parts in the assembly to allow them to move with respect to each other. I guess it is not possible, no?
