  • Step and Stl import not working

    Hi imports or rather translation is not working since yesterday evening, berlin time, found on reddit that export seems to be faulty aswell, except stl. Thanks in advance!

  • can I save each individual part of a part studio into a different part studio each?

    I created a multi-part Part Studio, but while making the drawings, I learned that BOM tables can only be generated from Assemblies. How can I separate and save each individual part into its own unique Part Studio so I can properly build the assembly and generate the final BOM?

  • Auto-populating Part Numbers and/or Names

    As best I can tell, part names are automatically generated by Onshape when parts are initially created with the nomenclature Part [Number in design hierarchy]. Part numbers can be created automatically as well such that you can also use a numbering scheme that has a continuous counter that goes up for any part that is…

  • Why the SOLIDWORKS format is not available for export?

    I am currently doing the Exercise: Exporting CAD Data from the course 'Importing and Exporting CAD Data'. On the slide no. 5 (Step 5) it says "Choose SOLIDWORKS as the file format and then select Store the file in a new tab." But when I do the same, I did not find any 'SOLIDWORKS format' while importing the 'Hydraulic…

  • EXPORT ASSEMBLY IN POSITION AND AS ONE PART

    So I made an assembly of a "sphere" made out of pentagons and hexagons by mating their faces but when I try to export the assembly (as STP or parasolid) all the parts are separated and in their original position (not mated). The only way I found to keep the assembly arrangement is to export it as STL but I need this part…

  • Unable to export a specific model. Another model in the same studio exports fine

Exporting to STEP format as a download. No matter what name I try it fails with the error "Export failed" and "……

  • I design a cylinder say 10mm diameter and it prints at 4.7mm diameter?

    🤔Is this a gcode problem or caused by Win11. Never happened before March 1st, I'm a disabled Ozzy hobby person.

  • 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…

  • .URDF export improvements

    Hello OnShape, Love the product! Are there any plans on improving .urdf export for robotic purposes. urdf is a robotic format that represents a robot in simulations. I'm only able to find https://github.com/Rhoban/onshape-to-robot This is good but there are a lot more to be desired. Keep up the great work with OnShape 💯

  • download public model

    I would like to use the API to download public models from Onshape for research purposes. What is the proper procedure for doing this, and whom should I contact to ensure that I can access and download the data legally and without issues?
