Need Help With a Project....
Hi all, First I've enjoyed learning OnShape as a complete newb, but I've been beating my head against the wall with what is probably a simple task. I started on a whim for a retro 8-Track tape rack that is supposed to look like a wrapped Christmas package. I've been beating my head against a wall trying to repeat an…

How to use a variable value in an assembly configuration?
I am using a Variable Studio inside my Assembly. I would like to store variable values in the Assembly Configuration, and to calculate with them. Example for a shelving configurator: Assembly configuration "high", #AmountOfShelves = 6, #AmountOfWashers=4x#AmountOfShelves Assembly configuration "low", #AmountOfShelves = 3,…

Why isn't it possible to pattern a spline?
I'm trying to remove drawer edges and I'm wanting to do a linear pattern in the sketch. Would this process be better done at the feature level?

Replace instances of a linear pattern with new part or configuration
Hello! I am trying to make a configurable grid. I have a single cell designed up and have configurations controlling the length and width. The grid can be 1x1 up to 6x6. I am trying to change the configurations of the corner instances to a configuration of the base cell with a rounded corner. I am also trying to add a…

Feature pattern with relative positions
Hi, I wondered if something like this is possible: say you have a "linear" pattern, but instead of setting the distance (and direction), I can simply select a face or mate connector where that same feature should be applied. Maybe even a list. To give an idea, in following part studio, in folder "Elastiek houders", I have…

Parametric pattern replication in assembly with automatic edge trimming - is it possible?
I'm working on a design where I need to replicate a single tile component across a base plate in an assembly. The requirements are: Pattern one tile part across the entire plate surface (so only one part appears in BOM) Automatically trim/cut tiles that extend beyond the plate edges so they're flush with the plate boundary…

Feature linear Pattern one element dissapears
I have a feature pattern of 4 instances of the part inside a cutout in a part., and when I am making the pattern I see all 4, but when I OK the pattern the 4 vanishes. If I set the instance count to 5, it skips that one (skip is not checked) Here is after hitting the green check: I have the timeline rolled to the pattern,…

How to linear pattern text that increases the value from variable
I have made this nut size test for M5, M4, M3 lock nuts In order to make all the other 9 hex holes in that row I used a linear pattern along with an increasing variable of step size = 0.05 mm What I would like to do know is to add text on the side that describes the dimension of the inscribed circle used to make that hex…

Exporting a sketch as a DXF?
Hi everyone - I am somewhat competent with OnShape and creating basic 3D things but I am struggling with a new project I am working on. I want to make some cribbage boards on irregularly shaped wood using my laser to mark the dots on the wood so I can drill them out. What I am trying to do is use a spline to create the…

Linear Pattern: specify direction with xyz coordinates
I want to do a Linear Pattern in a non trivial direction (3 dimensional diagonal direction). It has to be done by eye. I cant find a way to simply play with xyz values for the direction until it fits. Any ideas? Thanks!

How can I resize a large number of sketch entities without changing their location?
I am working on a part studio where multiple parts with linear patterns of holes need to overlap so the holes maintain their concentric relationships. I have done this by taking the original sketch with my hole pattern and copy/pasting it into other sketches from which I am extruding the various parts. I assumed that the…

how to create a pattern along the dashed line?, i want to create 10 equally spaced holes.
so, im new here, still leaning, was able to make this model in 3D, as the title i want to make 10 equally spaced holes along the dashed line, using the patterns tool i only have two options, Linear and circular patterns when i was young i learned on autocad but for 2D drawing only, in autocad there was an option to create…

Persistant dimension in all Parts Studios
While utilizing the linear pattern tool, I inadvertently triggered a keyboard shortcut (Alt or Control) during a drag operation, which unexpectedly placed a pattern on the sketch. This pattern is now persistently present in all my personal and public part studios, as well as other publicly accessible part studios, and…

Variable Hole Count With Calculated Spacing
I wasn't able to find a good answer searching the forum, so hopefully this hasn't been a repeated question. I'm creating a configurable enclosure that is assembled with fasteners. I have two requirements for the fastener holes: 1) the end holes must be a consistent distance from the back and front of the box and 2) the…

How to strip the units from a length?
Hi All, Is there a way to strip a length of it's units so the decimal number can be used in a "ceil(#/#)" equation? I am trying to use configs to create an expanded metal/grating generation part studio and have it working well except for getting the desired sheet size to auto size. I am using measure distance FS to get the…
