Can I import a vector PDF into OS such that I can use the geometry
I have an accurate vector 2D PDF file which I wish to get into a sketch within a part studio for further cad development. Is this possible. Help and Google have failed me so far. I can get the pdf artwork imported into OS just fine as its own entity, but I can't see how I can then move that geometry into a part studio…

Land site survey request for proposal
I'm considering designing my home in Onshape and would like to include a section in my site survey request for proposal that ensures the result of the site survey is a file that is well suited to import into Onshape. I know that STL, OBJ, and Parasolid formats are supported but was wondering if there is any other format…

Importing .stp / .step file appears only as one Surface. How to transform to an Onshape Part
When importing a .stp or .step file it shows up in a Part Studio only as one "Surface" in the lower left area. But I need one solid "Part" for editing it e.g. removing parts of the geometry. I have tried various things link converting to solid via Freecad or importing in a different format. Nothing worked. Is there a…

Creating a part from an imported surface
Hi everyone, Hoping someone can help me out - I'm reasonably junior when it comes to surfacing... in fact I am reasonably novice when it comes to anything outside of standard part modelling! I have 3D scanned a plastic piece I am looking to make some simple rectangle cuts through prior to printing as a prototype. - Once…

Best practice, ball bearing model from import
I have a project that will require the use of shielded ball bearings. I downloaded a model from the vendor website (I used solidworks format). The model is imported into a part studio as individual components that make up the bearing. I would like to have only a single instance of the bearing, and assign the part number…

What is the best way of inserting sufaces into an assembly
I have a model of a pump that I have been sent by the manufaturer, I want to insert it in to an assembly. The step file opens ok and I can see the model in parts studio but it consists of only one part and 3600+ surfaces. I have tried inserting surfaces in to to assembly which has worked in the past but OS crashes or loads…

Trouble with vendor supplied model
I've downloaded a model from vendor in .stp. format. Onshape translates the .stp file and creates an Onshape parts studio. I can open the part studio and look at the model in OnShape. However, when I go to my assembly model to insert the part, it does not appear as being available. Its a large file, around 4MB. Whats up?

Base model and variable change
I am looking for a way how to derived a part and change height variable. I am designing set of boxes for electronics. All of them have same base model, but with different height. The simplest way is to use derived feature and change the height variable. But this is not possible right now. So I am copying the base model…
