Adding FeatureScript Syntax Support to VSCode
I do a lot of vibe coding of FeatureScript using Codex and VSCode. I've wanted better FeatureScript syntax highlighting support for VSCode. Codex and ChatGPT developed a .VSIX extension which you can install. It knows the syntax and standard library and it will use sticky scrolling to show headers of functions and other…
Share/edit a document from personal to education enterprise on same e-mail
I have one e-mail address for OnShape "personal" and education enterprise accounts through my work e-mail. I have to sign out of one account to get to files on the other, and seemingly have no way to share between the accounts without transferring ownership. I have noticed my labels show up on both accounts and randomly a…
How to edit imported STEP files
Hi, I have imported a STEP file successfully but I can't seem to edit it. In the part manager I can select individual faces/shapes but when I try to delete them the whole part deletes. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks…
Editing a part after it's been scaled-up
Hi all, I need to edit a part after transformation and I have no idea how to go about doing it. I enlarged a part using the scale function in the transform menu. It was my hope that by scaling/enlarging the part, the sketches will update to show the parameters of the new enlarged part. This however didn't happen. Instead,…
Sketch Tools Unresponsive
I'm using Onshape in a Safari browser. While editing a sketch, some - but not all - of the tools will become unresponsive. Typically, the tools on the left end of the sketch bar, e.g., rectangle, line, are the ones that are affected. The ones on the right end of the row of icons continue to respond. The only way that I've…

Splicing sketches and extrusions into 3D objects
As a learning exercise, I'm recreating this object. As you can see, I omitted a few ridges, threads, etc. from the left-hand side. Can I get in there and splice a few sketches and extrudes between existing features? Or do I have to start again? Thanks.
How To Bulk Edit Properties For Multiple Parts
Hi Guys, I have seen some tutorials that show a bulk edit properties screen, usually when creating a new version, but I can't seem to figure out how to get to this screen. When I try to edit properties I have to click through each part one at a time. This is the screen I am talking about:
