Hey all — long-time Onshape user, wanted to share something I've been building and using in production.

The problem: Getting vector artwork (logos, cutout profiles, panel designs, icons) into Onshape as real, editable sketch geometry is annoying. DXF import can be inconsistent, and manually retracing SVGs with the sketch tools is a time sink.

What I built: A web tool that takes an SVG file and converts it into native Onshape sketch entities — proper lines, arcs, and fitted splines — using a custom FeatureScript feature under the hood. It's not a raster/image import or a dumb flattened curve; it comes in as real sketch geometry you can constrain and edit normally.

Features:

• Upload SVG → get native sketch geometry in your Part Studio
• Target width parameter to scale on import
• Drag manipulators for X/Y position, rotation, and scale — right in the sketch, no re-import needed to reposition
• Currently extending it to accept raster images (PNG/JPG) too, via an image-to-vector preprocessing step

Status: It's fully functional and I use it daily, but it hasn't been approved on the Onshape App Store yet. So for now it's a standalone external web app you use alongside Onshape rather than an in-app extension.

Custom Tool need to be added : https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c201c83c91a83aade27337d1/v/fa88b35f1753d1f6f757a891/e/09d98a5bdcf6272e418d3ec2

You'll need your Onshape document/workspace/element IDs (visible in your document URL) to point the tool at the right place.

Happy to answer questions about the workflow, limitations, or what it can/can't handle geometry-wise. Feedback welcome — especially edge cases that break it.
