  • Classify Onshape Standard Content in FS?

    Hi everyone, is there a way of creating a query to determine if a part is Onshape standard content in FS? I think there must be some kind of undocumented, internal "standardContentId" or something like qGeneratedByStandard because somehow the standard icon in the feature tree has to be added to these certain parts in the…

  • Is it possible to use feature script to quickly export mass property values for assemblies?

    Hi all, Still learning about feature script but I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience using Feature Script to export/output data (specifically mass property values like mass, center of mass, and moment of inertias) into either the command line or ideally into a txt file for an entire assembly. This action would…

  • What types of custom libraries exist in 2025?

    I've been struggling to find good information about custom libraries, because it appears OnShape has been using the "custom library" terminology for years to refer to recommended document organization schemes (putting shared hardware together in a document and calling it a "library", etc.). Now we have things like frame…

  • Reusing Parts Across Projects

    Hello, We're looking into switching to a generic part numbering system instead of the job specific system we use now.

We do have a library for purchased parts and standard parts, but what about a part here or…

  • A few random documents I own won't let me move them into folders or transfer ownership.

    An admin of my Enterprise deactivated my professional account when I got a new email address instead of updating it, so all of my private docs were made public. Now I'm transferring ownership of all of my docs to my new (private) account, but I'm down to the last four docs and they are acting like I don't own them, even…

  • Retrieve documenthistory with API

    Hi, I would like to retrieve the entire documenthistory (all microversions) from a given document.Currently, I'm using the documents/documenthistory endpoint (https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer/#/Document/getDocumentHistory), but it seems only to return a fixed number of microversions from the history. To retrieve…

  • Roll Back Release

    I recently made a minor error on a first revision of a drawing that was reviewed and released, both the reviewer and I missed this error. Is it possible to roll back the release, correct the error and release it as Rev A? I'm aware of ISO 900X requirements that may look down upon this practice, but for a drawing that…

  • Next number in part number scheme feature script

    How can I modify my featurescript for an O-ring part studio to automatically generate next part number for each new configuration, following the in-built onshape numbering scheme? Currently, I have to manually enter the desired configuration in the properties and create a version within the part studio. I have read that…
