Support for niche thread diameters/pitches
I'm trying to model a component that has an M1.7 thread, but there's no option for that in the hole tool. Is there a way to input a custom thread diameter? I know that I can modify the diameter and tap drill diameter after that, but I mostly care that the callout is correct so that the correct screw diameter is used during…

FeatureScript access to complete material properties and the Onshape Material Library
I am a mentor for a FIRST Robotics team, and we recently started exploring Onshape Simulation. One of the first issues we encountered was that parts created by many of our custom FeatureScripts are missing the material data needed for simulation. Our custom features already assign materials such as Aluminum 6061, but…

How to extrude a feature horizontally from an inclined surface without it following the face normal?
Hi everyone, I am designing a model with an inclined (angled) surface. I want to project/extrude a feature (like a cylinder) horizontally (parallel to the Top/Global plane) starting from this angled face.Currently, when I use Loft or Extrude, the software either forces the extrusion along the face normal (90 degrees to the…

How to quickly seperate parts by edges or projection?
Before After I'm don't know how I can describe the question properly. But here is a demo project file, I tried 3 different way to achive the result, None of them are simple enough. Method 1: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c7c8efb1042f752ba49d0a08/w/c627768566ebe12fa5ec4657/e/42e3261f2580997d0f91c2a5 Method 2:…

Why isn't it possible to pattern a spline?
I'm trying to remove drawer edges and I'm wanting to do a linear pattern in the sketch. Would this process be better done at the feature level?
