  • Why are Drawings only accessible to one user at a time?

    Onshape makes a big deal about its ability to provide simultaneous editing access to its CAD data, as it should, because it makes concurrent collaborative design possible. To my knowledge no other MCAD product has this capability, (MCAD's answer to Google Docs.) however, this capability appears to only extend to Part…

  • Where can I find Engineering drawings to practice?

    I have been active in the CAD field for about a year now, and I have been somewhat successful in creating the models I have envisioned. But I have been searching for some industry level engineering drawings online so that I can practice my "drawing reading skills". I found a book that has a lot of the parts, but I have…

  • Simple cutlist with measurements

Does anyone know if one or both of…

  • Adding modifier to dimensions

    I'm not a super experienced Onshape user, but I'm looking into its ISO GPS capabilities when it comes to drawings (in particular ISO 14405-1:2025). The geometric tolerances and datums seem to be very well implemented, but I'm struggling with adding modifiers to dimensions of features of size, such as envelope, GX, GN, LP,…

  • Using the hole table in a drawing of a composite part

    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…

  • Drawing line colors to match model appearance

    Is there a way to make the drawing line colors to match the appearance colors in the part/assembly? In drawings with lots of details it would be nice to change the colors to differentiate the parts/features. I can change certain aspects of the view colors such as hidden lines, threads, bend colors in the Drawing Properties…
