Holes and Constraints

Coincident restraint
Hey folks, why is this drawing not fully defined? This was drawn by a friend new to OnShape and I said "I can help" and I'm failing. I can see the lines are blue but that aside it looks good enough to extrude (as a solid) yet no such luck and I'll be doggone if I can see why this is not fully defined? In my efforts to make…

Mirror constraint in a simulation assembly
Is there such a thing as a "mirror constraint" for the Onshape Simulation environment?

Why is my assembly overdefined?
Sorry I'm still a beginner, but I cant seem to understand what joint is over defining my assembly. I just want to pull the finger down by pulling a solenoid back, but when i put the final revolute joint, it all breaks. If i suppress the slider joint and freely move it, then its perfectly capable of doing the motion I want,…

How to prevent unintended/undesired constraints
This keeps happening to me and I just spent a bunch of time debugging — last straw… When drawing a bunch of figures in a sketch, onshape offers interesting constraints to "snap" your line, circle, center… to nearby interesting points. This can be super useful. However, it can also result in unintended constraints that then…

Help me Animate
This is for a schol project but i just cant get it to animate. it works using the mouse but no animating. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/38618f340e48302f1ac651b3

Debugging "Some external references are missing"
After changing a sketch I got a bunch of errors. In one, I got rid of all the red constraints and everything looked fine but still the sketch is still reporting someone MIA. How do you track these down?

Why does it not constrain the circle in this example?
When you look at my sketch in this document, https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ba7e4923733923f342b29886/w/93007c0d23b822965f740041/e/a31ef347a5b40fafc448d9b9, I started with a sketch on the top plane. I drew a center point rectangle and gave it 100 x 100. Then I offset the bottom line by 20 mm as a construction line. I…

Variable Hole Count With Calculated Spacing
I wasn't able to find a good answer searching the forum, so hopefully this hasn't been a repeated question. I'm creating a configurable enclosure that is assembled with fasteners. I have two requirements for the fastener holes: 1) the end holes must be a consistent distance from the back and front of the box and 2) the…

Angle constraint - what am I missing?
Hi, I am trying to define an angle between a horizontal line and another one. All tutorials and forum answers suggest that I select the dimension tool and click first one line and then the other. However, that's not working for me. Did something change? Am I doing something wrong here?

how to constrain part to be horizontal in assembly
Bit of a whacky case... I'm creating a jig to cut a compound angle on 1" angle iron part (strut). The saw only has one degree of angle (miter saw not compound miter). But by dialing the right miter angle and "pivoting" the angle iron along it's long axis on the saw bed, I can get the same effect. Problem is I need to…

Pierce constraint on featurescript
Hello I want to use the pierce constraint, on a 3D line and a sketch point, with the following code var newLineId = id + i + 1 + "line_";
opFitSpline(context, newLineId, { "points" : [sphereCenter, endPoint] }); var newPointLoopId = "point_" ~ (i + 1);
skPoint(sketch_loop, newPointLoopId, {"position" : vector(delta , delta…

What's the best way to center something between two points/lines/...
Say you have two parallel lines and want to center a circle between them. It would be awesome if you could add a "center" constraint where you add the two lines (or more) and the object to be centered and it just does it. To date I've been adding a construction line between the two reference objects (lines in my example…
