how to

First off, I'm very new to Onshape, so I'm likely missing some key basic function. The image below is the bottom of a cylinder center finder I'm using from another Onshape user. I'm trying to modify it to add engraved ruler markings on the diagonal to measure diameter. Anyway, I used a "Ruler" FeatureScript by Gustavo…

Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but is there a way to reorder a cut list without having to reselect the items in the correct order? I just found an item that wasn't included and I'd like to add it. We typically list our tube by cut length, longest to shortest. Thanks!

I'm designing a turbo header for a 6 cylinder engine, but I cant figure out how to loft the 6 tubes into one for the flange. I'm not experienced so I'm probably just missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated!

Hi guys i have a cylinder on which i wish to wrap a very specific ring gemetry but i cant seem to figure out how to do it Can any one help. thx in advance This is the cylinder and this is the ring Cross section i want to wrap this ring with the cross section as seen above something like this

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…

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:…

I design parts for 3D printing. I'd love to be able to have the document's version number on the parts. I go through so many minor iterations! So basically I want the version number to be in a Text object in a sketch and automatically update. Possible?

I'm trying to make a claw for a Therizinosaurus, but I'm really struggling to get the smooth curve that I want for the claw. is there a simple way I can do this or is onshape not the right programme for this?

Hi! New to the forum, if any more info is needed just lmk :-) I'm a high school student trying to make a sideboard/tv cabinet with a tamboured door. I have made the "frame" for the sideboard in an assembly, and the whole door (with revolute mates) in another. I'm struggling to assemble the tambour to slide along the track,…

Hi, I am relatively inexperienced with working with surfaces in Onshape, and have ran into problems when trying to make them solid parts. I am designing a logo that uses hundreds of surface lofts to enclose the top and bottom plates, but the enclose tool doesn't work for me and I run into issues in many of the surfaces…

Hello! I am trying to make a configurable grid. I have a single cell designed up and have configurations controlling the length and width. The grid can be 1x1 up to 6x6. I am trying to change the configurations of the corner instances to a configuration of the base cell with a rounded corner. I am also trying to add a…

I made this model and would like to bend it for 45 and 90 degrees left or right. Is there a way to bend an extruded part similar to what the loft functions do? Thank you in advance!

So I've been trying to create a forward fuselage for a RC aircraft. I've got a decent amount of time working with lofts, especially with make wings and alike. however with this particular problem I'm running into the loft generating unsymmetrically, I've been playing around, trying different sketches, matching up each…

I am trying to get the two faces in my document to loft be each time I try the inner profile just goes red. No idea how to fix this, would really appreciate some help. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a029e4e0f14f06e8c8efb638/w/5c0b632cb8f6c2a9d3d007c4/e/e7762b37295653af6d83ecfc

I apologize, I'm new at this, so I am still learning. I didn't want to ask for help since I need to know this, but I've tried for the past 3 days and I'm getting no where. I get everything created in Onshape, export it to an STL file, and open it in Bambu Studio. When I go to print it, it is less than half the indicated…

How do I select an entire part to move it out of the way… I created a part (on the top plane), created a mirror of the part, then wanted to enlarge the original part, but it now overlaps the mirrored part.. I just want to move part 1 over to allow the enlargement. I see that a "triad" is supposed to show up but none does…

I'm designing a box that will hold a small electronics project, basically just an arduino nano type board and a battery, plus some surface features: a hole for a switch, a hole for USB, mounting pegs for the board, etc. I designed two different versions of this for two different boards. One uses USB C, the other mini USB,…

Good day everyone, I am novice designer and have been trying to learn Onshape since I graduated from undergrad. My first self project was to recreate a simple distillation apparatus. However I am having some issue, trying to create the condenser part. The condenser should pierce through the cylinder until the inner wall.…
