Movement in upper assembly
Hi everyone, I defined a movement of a part in an assembly (Hood, see the picture below). Now I added this assembly to an upper assembly (box below). The movement of the subassembly is gone. Is there a way to get this movement? Or do I need to construct it from top to down, so that this subassembly doesn't exist anymore?…

Help with mating options
I thought I was doing pretty good with mates until I ran into this issue. In the image below, I want to place the short piece into the notch shown and also mated with the face of the highlighted part. I tried a planer mate with the bottom of the notch. ok. Then another planer mate with one side of the notch. So far so…

How can I align parts in an assembly?
I am learning about assemblies but I can't figure out from the interface how to align parts in an assembly. I am essentially joining extruded triangles with rounded corners. I have three triangles on one side and four facing triangles on the other side. The "points" of the triangles of one side are facing the points on the…

What does this error message mean?
Posted previously today about a FeatureScript I am working on for some learning/practice. I made some progress after getting stuck on a small miss of coding, but now I have this error: The first mate connector stops working, and the second one is fine using the same format.

Second opTransform not working following same format as previous one
I am practicing some of my FeatureScript skills and understanding (sadly after having to take a break from FS) by creating a FeatureScript that makes three mate connectors in each of the three axis orientations for a selected mate connector location. I can't seem to figure out why this call line is not working when the…

How to prevent mate connectors showing in top assemblies when opening files?
Using Shift-P will remove all sketches and mate connectors, but . . . Every time I open a top assembly, mate connectors show. I all sub-assemblies and parts, I used Shift-P to hide the unwanted connectors, then created a version. When I update the top assembly, when changes are made in any of the sub assemblies, mate…

Custom Mate Connectors not coming over to assembly
Hey folks - I know this question has been asked in other forms, but none of the solutions helped and this is actually in the classroom tutorial from Onshape. I'm doing the "bricks/lego" project and when we reach assembly, the mates created in the part studio (which are not inferable from the geometry) don't carry over.…

How to make mate connectors invisible (Bolts and nuts from standard library)
I want to make the fastened mate connectors after inserting bolts and nuts from standard library invisible. After inserting, the mate connectors are visible by default unlike the other mate connectors. Also, under the feature manager tree, the mates (fastened) all say "Invisible" or click to hide. But they are visible in…

mates showing in part studio not present when in assembly

In each of the part studios base_unit and insert_unit I create a mate connector. I use my featurescript with an instantiator to create a…
