Sheet metal thickness custom property computed value.
I've created a custom feature for the thickness of a sheet metal part (to be used in a BOM). Currently, you have to type in the thickness manually but it would be nice if the value could be computed. If you set the thickness of a sheet metal part to be 3mm, I am curious how you would get this value in a custom feature to…

Can I have unique names for assemblies and their mates that are created via circular pattern.
Hi, I've got a couple of subassemblies stacked and connected via revolute mates into a "tower". I have no problem duplicating this aggregate assembly using Assembly Circular Pattern, resulting in a few towers. However, I've got the mates uniquely named in tower1 (dof_tower1_a, dof_tower1_b, ...), and would like to be able…

Animation fail while following a surface

Stop Onshape appending "Drawing 1" to new drawings
G'day Onshape experts! I'm in the process of setting up my companies approvals workflow and standardising how we name parts, assemblies, and drawings. Something that is quite annoying is that when you make a drawing of a part / assembly by default it names the drawing the part / assemblies name and then appends "Drawing…

Linear Mass Custom Property via FeatureScript
I have successfully created a few lines of FeatureScript to take the volume of a 100mm long extrusion and output the volume per metre (including changing the units) using evVolume. I want to do the same thing with mass per metre, but it appears evApproximateMassProperties requires a hard-called density, even though the…

Assemblies - Using different connection types on a single mate.
In my assembly, I have an arm that I want to push the door open with. I need the end of the arm to basically be a ball joint + planer joint to simulate the arm moving however it wants to on the door. I can get one or the other, but not both types to work at the same time. Any suggestions? Assembly 1:…

Can't subtract on certain parts
I designed this cap for a repair I'm making, but I'm unable to subtract 4 of my 6 screw holes to bring the height down. It seems that the only differences is that the two that worked are adjoined to 2 walls as opposed to just 1. I've already spent way too long getting it to this point, but I figure it's just one of those…

Video of my CAD?
Hi I'd like to do a video of my CAD for a presentation I will do soon. I'd like a video create by Onshape and allows to see every angle, surface, shape etc of my CAD. I don't want to do a video of my screen and work on it after. So I was asking myself if it was possible to directly create a video with Onshape or other…

How to blend tube intersection
So i've recently got myself an Ender 3 and I though it'd be a good exercise to try and replace a connector used for a small marquee.

How can I set the sweep path to stop at a certain face of another part in a project?
I guess a picture works better than an explanation: All I want to do is to make the part that is diagonal to "stop" or be cut right at the edge of the other two pieces. How can I do that?https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7ecba141d2e4171944be3a63/w/989812626d22ff384c60a6d5/e/d72d23a852ae860dde922fc9 Here's it if you want to…
