  • FeatureScript Standard Library Visualizer

    https://gatrall.github.io/fsvisualizer/ I built a tool (or more accurately vibe coded a tool) to visualize the Onshape Standard FeatureScript library. This is very new, and I'm sure there are some weird things about it. Let me know what works and what doesn't. For each module, it shows what's imported/exported, a link to…

  • What types of custom libraries exist in 2025?

    I've been struggling to find good information about custom libraries, because it appears OnShape has been using the "custom library" terminology for years to refer to recommended document organization schemes (putting shared hardware together in a document and calling it a "library", etc.). Now we have things like frame…

  • Reusing Parts Across Projects

    Hello, We're looking into switching to a generic part numbering system instead of the job specific system we use now. I'm wondering if it's reasonable to reuse parts across jobs since the part numbers are no longer job specific? We do have a library for purchased parts and standard parts, but what about a part here or…

  • Defining Libraries for Featurescript Usage?

    I have a WIP Laser Kerf Bend featurescript that's been on backburner for quite some time and I've based the implementation partially on @MichaelPascoe's Texture feature which includes a lot of pre-defined solids to choose from for pattern seeding. The way he accomplished his "library" of solids was a lot of manual…

  • VEX EXP Libraries

    I will be using the VEX EXP System and looking for a library of those specific parts. Thank you!

  • No functions for line manipulation?

    Hi, I've haven't found any functions for manipulation of Vector and Line objects. Something like: var line1 = line(vector(x1, y1), vector(d1, d2)); var line2 = opRotate(line1, vector(p1, p2), 90 * degree); var vector3 = opIntersection(lineA, lineB); Am I missing something or do I really have to write them myself? I know…

  • Save a Boolean Tool into a library for future use??

    Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to save a Boolean Tool (or a part) to a library for future use? If you want to recreate a company logo, like the "swoosh", that you would use on multiple parts. If I remember right, SolidWorks Sheet Metal had punches or forming tools that could be reused, for example to make a…
