Creating a PDF of a drawing
I find that creating a PDF of a drawing often takes three of four tries before it works and the file is produced. I tried both Safari and Chrome on an Imac. So far I have always been able to get and print a PDF but there seems to be a bug. Thoughts?

Creating datums in drawing, when there are no reference elements of value?
I have created a part that has no external features for establishing a datum (B) in a top view. I have found no way to bring the part datums into the drawing, which seems like that should be an absolute. Seriously, how do you transfer design intent with out reference to the model datums? Hidden lines are not selectable in…

Is there a way to dimension to the inside of a radius?
With small radii, I'd like the leader line to go to the inner arc of the radius, so it doesn't add that extra little arc to the print. Is there a way to do this? I've tried clicking pretty much everything, and haven't found it if it's there. Thanks!

Add .dxf as a sheet in a drawing after importing?

Like a workaround for how SW let's you add either the flattened part or formed to a drawing. Also, is there a way to chose the name when exporting to a…

How do I "join" 2 or more separate parts in the same part studio together?
I've constructed a part that I intend to 3d print. I drew it in as 3 different parts on the same Part Studio (I Mirrored one part and overlapped it with itself). Now I want to merge those separate parts into one single part and then modify the overall dimension of the final part. I can't seem to find any type of grouping…

Making a detail view of a section view
I can't seem to make a detail view of a section view on a drawing. Is this not supported. Further to that, is it possible to edit the shape of the detail view to make it something other than a circle? I use this on every drawing I do at work.

How to navigate within a drawing.
I'm new to Onshape, but also new to CAD, altogether. I have a few questions about Drawings. Generally, it seems like the functionality of the Drawings work space isn't as robust as that of the Part Studio work space: 1. Is there a tutorial that defines the different templates (ANSI, ISO, etc)? I have no idea which one to…

How to dimension a center of a slot?
Hello everyone, I have a project, an additional collet for a small lathe. The collet has 3 slots 120° apart. I want to dimension this spacing on the right view in my drawing. But I'm unable to use the angular dimension tool because there are no lines on the drawing which would pass through the center of the slots. I'm also…
