Show Constraints
I'm not sure I understand what's happening here The point vertical constraints highlighted ligths up other points, aswell as lines Why doesn't it just highlight other points? Also, these other points, why don't they show constraints?

Can the vertices be "Fixed" to each other? A relative constraint?
Can vertices be "Fixed" to a plane? or relative to a plane or sketch? I have made some free hand spline curves and I want to "freeze" them, but but frozen relative to a point. I can then move or constrain the point and the curve will follow. It would be nice if the vertices can "unfrozen" so I can adjust the curve, then…

tangent and coincident constraints
if a line has a tangent constraint to a circle, is it necessary for the endpoint of the line to also have a coincident constraint with the tangent circle? working on master sketch of lesson 4, I find that if I delete the coincident constraint on the endpoint of the line, that point becomes blue ... adding the coincident…

issue with slide 21 of lesson 4: Exercise - Creating Multiple Parts in a Part Studio
on slide 21 of lesson 4: Exercise - Creating Multiple Parts in a Part Studio I have made a copy of my file for you to examine: wrp_for-support_Exercise: Creating Multiple Parts in a Part Studio (URL below) https://sso.onshape.com/documents/285cbb8a1aabd0d91f4a8af1/w/835951669114bb6ca396ed8e/e/493c92b9b71a50814e973c81 when…

Inequality & modulus constraints?
Is there any way to create sketch constraints that reflect "greater than / less than" or "is a multiple of"? Two scenarios: * I have two holes that need to be at least 1" apart. They can be farther apart, but they can't be closer. * A spacer can be any multiple of 0.5", but making a 1.3172" spacer is prohibitive Right now…

Help with partial constraints?
I'm loving learning to use OnShape. I learn best when I have a project that forces me to dig deeper, so I'm working on a cutout for a friend. I can't figure out why the heart (splines) at the top is blue. Can someone take a look and let me know what I need to do to fix the constraints. Also, the box on the left side. Once…

Using centre (axis) of fillet as constraint point - possible?
I have an extrude with a fillet on an edge. Is it possible to 'wake-up' the centre of the fillet (not the centre of the arc, but the axis point) on a sketch to use it as a inference point for further geometric construction? Only way I've found is to draw a construction circle on the sketch plane, then constrain that to be…

Does Onshape have an automatic constraint functionality similar to Inventor?
So, let's say you've got a complex .dwg that you just want to import because you're too lazy to simplify it... in Inventor you'd just autoconstrain the whole shebang and you're off to the fully-defined races... and can delete constraints as you need later on. Anything like that in Onshape, and if not, might it conceivably…

Constraints: How do I figure out what's missing?
I'm very much a n00b to CAD and to Onshape, but I'm learning... slowly. I've got this shape that I'm working on... http://bit.ly/2dl7NU8. It's under constrained, but I can't figure out what constraint(s) are missing to get it to being fully constrained. Anyone? In the larger scheme, is there a process that you use to…

rolling constraint in sketch ?
Hi all, In my great noobism, I'm looking for a "rack and pinion constraint" or something of the effect, like having an equal length constraint between an arc and a straight line in sketch. Does anyone knows how to do that? that would be a powerful enabler for cycloids, trochoid, and all things in "oid" you wouldn't want on…

Colinearity constraint?
I may have inadvertently applied SolidWorks thinking to my problem, but is there anything like the "Colinear" contraint for line segments? "Parallel" is almost there, except I can't find how to also constrain a point to lie on the line supporting a line segment.
