Dual Dimensions in part studio and measure tool?
As far as I can tell there is no option for dual dimensions in the part studio sketches or within the measure tool. While searching for this function I found a forum post stating that onshape is working on it, and even a improvement request that was marked complete in 2021. However I cannot find dual dimensions in anything…
HOW DO YOU CUT OFF CORNERS?
Hello, I'm new to Onshape and currently trying to make a train whistle in CAD so I know what to do when I actually make it. But a problem I've been having is trying to cut these corners off (see black lines (not accurate measurements)). Is there anyway to cut these corners off? if so could you tell me how? Thank you for…
Customizability in Keyboard Shortcuts - Changing "Onshape Controlled" Shortcuts?
Hello Onshape Users and Team, I'm coming back to Onshape after using a different CAD software for a handful of years, and have gotten used to a system or set of controls for navigating the environment. While I do have the ability to keybind most functions, many fundamental controls are "Onshape Controlled" and cannot be…
More informative error messages?
When entering a formula, it would be very helpful to have more informative error messages, including e.g.: * "Units mismatch, expected length found mm^3" * For an invalid parameter, *WHICH* parameter is invalid? First one that's invalid, anyway. * "<variableName> out of range, expect 0..100000mm was -3.2mm"
Sketch dimension text
Is it still true that you cannot add text to a dimension in sketch mode? Like when I have 8 concentric diameters to dimension, I can't put "flange nut b.c." and "pitch CL" on respective dims, to tell them apart?
