  • copy and paste features with ctl+c and ctl+v from one part studio tab to another

    I want to select, copy, and paste multiple features like sketch, extrude, chamfer with ctl+c and ctl+v from one part studio tab to another, but it does not seem to be working for me. It's like nothing is getting copied to the clipboard. I'm using the chrome browser. Any clues why this is not working, I know I can use…

  • How to copy extrusion features to all faces of a part

    Hello! I am trying to replicate holes onto every face of a cube, see the project here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/edd2c2326d091f4f6d65ee11/w/e42dfe5f3556605262b9c3d7/e/f5b0640142f49831cf15819d?renderMode=0&uiState=6584b5383de095154ce97ed3 I managed to mirror some of the holes from the front to the back, but am…

  • Can Features (or a folder of features) Be Turned Off and On as Needed?

    I'm modeling a hard camera case. The camera needs to rest on surfaces precisely. I've measured as precisely as possible, but when I put the actual camera into a test print, the camera blocks view of the support surfaces, and prevents verification of fit. My solution is to cut windows into a test print so I can view/measure…

  • Multiple Part Studios or Multiple Parts Per Studio?

    I'm trying to understand best-practices, is it "better" to have multiple parts studios for each part or to have a single parts studio with many parts? Or is it just a matter of preference? If the latter, it looks like folders are useful to separate features for each part into their own location (so all of the features…

  • How can I extract the belt properties ( total length / width / thickness) from the belt feature

    Hi I created a belt trough the "belt" feature . Can I get some properties from the belt I created and retrieve it in BOM or drawing ? I need essentially the total length (the width is given by openBOM) . Thanks for the great job done by the Onshape team.

  • Belt Feature Studio - using two same size cylinders - generates an intersecting path

    I was using the Belt feature I found in the public documents. When I had two different size pulleys it worked OK. But I needed to make them the same size, and when I did that, the arc at one end, was flipped back over the in and out line ends - and will not generate. I took a look, and the midVec lenght becomes zero…

  • Is it possible to always recieve all comments per e-mail?

    Hi! Sometimes I don't understand why a feature is somewhere that someone else made. I like commenting on features but is it possible that you get all the comments as e-mail notification per default? I'd like: @mention with auto-complete, Set recieve e-mail as standard or at least make it an option you can enforce on new…
