Assign unique part numbers to different instances of configured parts in assemblies.
I am working on a large project with hundreds of parts and I have decided to break it up into sub-assemblies in separate documents. I have also created a document for "Global Parts" parts used in multiple sub-assemblies. One of the "Global Parts" is a guide rail for a conveyor, an off the shelf part that gets cut to…

Excel inputs to configurations, over multiple instances
I want to plot "topographic maps" of a specific excavation area, that change over time, to compare how much changes between any two "snap shots". The attached Excel worksheet shows (A-K) columns and (1-8) rows to define the location of each depth reading on a horizontal reference "ground plane". The columns are parallel…

What's a smart way to set up a configurable mesh using Configuration Variables?
I am trying to create a wire mesh as a configurable part. I want to be able to put in the width and height in terms of how many vertical wires, and how many horizontal wires there are. I set up some variables for the width and height, and then used them to drive my model. The issue I am running into is that when I pattern…

Can I configurate the Color of only faces?
I have ONE part with different colors on each face. Now I have the exact same part but in different colors. I know that I can configurate the color of the whole part. Is it possible to configure the color of just some faces? Config 1: Config 2:

How Can I Map a Configuration Variable to a Custom Property
I have parts that have a configuration variable defining their lengths. I need to get their lengths into OpenBOM. I'm pretty sure that I can get the lengths into OpenBOM if I send OpenBOM a custom property containing the length. I just don't know how to link my "Length" custom property to a configuration variable. How…

Referencing a Configuration Cell Value in Another Cell
I am looking to use a cell value from my configuration table to drive other formulas within my configuration cells [in an assembly]. This would be similar to how formulas in excel our built for instance if I am using a value in A1 cell to calculate a value in B1 ie (B1 = A1 +2). I am not looking to use my #variable input…

Exporting multiple configurations to STL
I'm wondering if there is some way within Onshape to download the STL for multiple configurations of a part in a single zip file, rather than doing it one by one? Or is this best done using the REST API?

Constructing a Part in a Part Studio using DXFs
Hello All, I am trying to build a configurator inside featurescript that will build an aluminium door (from our product line). Some parts, such as the top bars and skins of the door can be created from standard geometry such as the cuboid command, and a host of other commands such as extrude etc. However, other parts are…

Is there a way to control dependencies in the 'configure properties' table?
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to use FS to control dependencies in the configurations property table(if possible). For instance, I have a hose I want to vary in both diameter and length. For any length of hose with D=1", I would want the part number to be 1. For any length of hose with D=2", I would want the part…

CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE IN INSTANTIATOR
I am trying to use the Configuration Override in addInstance, but whether "Unsuppressed" is toggled on or off, the feature doesn't remove the Chamfer. The code below is where I'm not understanding what is going wrong, and the full document can be found here. var instantiator = newInstantiator(id + "instantiator"); var body…

OnShapePy - a python package for OnShape
Hello all, About a month ago I set out to build a general purpose OnShape python package, OnShapePy. Today I have the first MVP launched and available to install through pip. The documentation is available here. The goal is to unlock the vast Python scientific libraries to OnShape parts. At AguaClara, we will be using…
