How to improve the onshape featurescript manual
As the shopworn cliche has it, a picture is worth a thousand words. Now it is scandalous that the manual for a highly visual system like onshape cad lacks so much as a single illustration. One is left to try to picture in his mind the concepts being explained in the manual as best he can. This will never do if onshape…

Will there be more tutorials in the "Create a slot feature in FeatureScript" series?
* Create a slot feature * Add sketch geometry These two tutorials are an excellent start for feature script training. The intro makes it sound like there will be more up to making a full assembly utilizing the slot feature. Is that still coming?

Handle Geometry In Exercise 5.2.2 - Creating Mate Connectors Changes CoM
Hey Everyone! I redid this exercise but I am running into the same issue. I'm initially trying to follow the directions verbatim in order to better understand how OnShape works and handles. The issue I am running into is with the way the arm loads the angle of geometry in Slide (Step) 12 eventually translates into an…

Training for a person with no CAD experience?
I am searching for a way to train people that have NO CAD experience. The newly refined 'Learning Center' is great - however, the material requires a basic understanding of CAD and parametric solid modeling. What resources do you suggest?

Cannot get the right answer in 'SKETCHING IN-CONTEXT' exercise
Hi, I have been going over the first few exercises, which are really useful. I totally aced the first one, but I cannot understand why the answer in the 2nd exercise is incorrect. I have followed the instructions, the resulting part looks identical to what is in the exercise, but the volume I get is 50865.381 mm3, which…

Controlling extrusions from sketches / building a 3D solid solely through sketches
So, let's say I've created the following solid by extruding different sketch surfaces to different depths. The various extrusion depths are hidden away as feature settings. This makes them difficult to modify. In a real project, where the proper extrusion depth could depend on other surfaces (rather than blind distances),…

Is it possible to rotate my drawing in an other way then clockwise respectivly counter-clockwise?
I want to rotate my drawing in an other way then clockwise. Another possibility would be to create from the view of my part studio a drawing. Does anybody know on which icon I have to click?

New part studio in assembly context + new sketch + extrude
Newbie question: I have an assembly with one part studio - a cylinder Then I create a new part studio in context of the assembly and create a new sketch on the plane of the lower base of the cylinder. In the sketch draw a rectangle around the cricle of the cylinder base and then close the sketch and extrude. I get a hole…

Where can I learn a sequence of steps for sketching?
After hand drafting for 20 or so years, I'm learning Onshape. This is my first CAD program. I've been putting in hours of study, listening to tutorials, following and making test sketches, with a fair bit of success. But as soon as I try to make my own sketches for my work (lighting design), I am quickly confounded by my…

Section View command missing?
I've tried multiple browsers on multiple computers with multiple drawings. I've watched the tutorial, I've searched, I've read... I give up. I'm asking. Why do I not see the Section View command when right-clicking the little cube? It's just not there, ever. In parts view, I select a plane... right-click the little cube...…

How to navigate within a drawing.
I'm new to Onshape, but also new to CAD, altogether. I have a few questions about Drawings. Generally, it seems like the functionality of the Drawings work space isn't as robust as that of the Part Studio work space: 1. Is there a tutorial that defines the different templates (ANSI, ISO, etc)? I have no idea which one to…

I'm new to CAD. What workflow should I use to create this roof jack?
I need to create a part similar to the image. What would that workflow look like? I'm very new to CAD. I've done most of the tutorials on here, but I think I may need a loft. Any pointers would be a big help.

What's happening in that knurl demo video? (Sept. 30, 2015)
Dear community, I'm trying to analyze and re-create what is done in that video. But as hard as I try, I come to a hard stop. I will try to describe what I see. The task is to generate a knurl pattern on a cylindrical surface. What happens in the first minute is quite clear, a 180 deg. helix is drawn and then a…

Extruding in the correct plane
Hello, total newb here who is just learning Onshape from the ground up. What I want to do: I am trying to design what amounts to a fan housing. I have the outer ring done and am trying to add cross pieces so that I can mount the fan itself (imagine a circle with an 'x' across it). How I am trying to do it: I am sketching…
