mate connectors

Hi, I have been using Onshape for a while now and have encountered a weird and frustrating issue. I have defined mate connectors on some parts as shown in the images below: In both cases the mate connectors are at the bottom of the feature tree. When I import these parts into my assembly these mate connectors disappear.…

Hi, Is it possible to transform/copy a part to multiple mate connectors at once? I only seem to be able to do it one by one? And if possible to select multiple mate connectors, can you also account for configurations where you can have more (or less) mate connectors to appear (depending on the configuration made) eg copy…

Hi, I've got a couple of subassemblies stacked and connected via revolute mates into a "tower". I have no problem duplicating this aggregate assembly using Assembly Circular Pattern, resulting in a few towers. However, I've got the mates uniquely named in tower1 (dof_tower1_a, dof_tower1_b, ...), and would like to be able…

Above, you see a dialog while I'm hovering on top of that mate. It looks like I could change the values right from here, but if I move the mouse to the right, the dialog disappears around the "show/hide" icon. I never reach it. Is it intended to stay put, so I could e.g. edit the entries from here? What I was trying to…

my file is showing over defined for some reasonI'm sadly enterprize I'm sorry about the files ill put them on my alternate acount and post it to here as the same thing but with the ability to see it at some time after 6300

i am trying to develop a lift in work. i have drawn a plate that rotates on hinges, also added in a ram in assembly mode. just to test positions of where the ram may be mounted. used a revolute mate for the plate/frame. that moves as id like used a sliding mate for the ram that moves in and out But positioning revolute…

In an assy a part with a fillet is inserted. In that assy I like to use/create a Mate Connector that is on the (virtual) edge that was used to create the fillet. Of course I can move the MC along one of the red arrows but then its position depends on the fillet radius, which is undesirable for the design intent. How do I…

In this assembly (hydronics | Assembly 1 (onshape.com)) I've inserted a couple instances of a 90 degree elbow part from a part studio in the same document. In the parts studio, the elbow part has 4 mate connectors, two at each end. When inserted into the assembly, there are only two connectors, both at one end. The…

Hey everyone, I've been working on a project where an inside chamber with a pin follows a slot on an outside chamber such that when you twist the inside chamber, it follows the path on the outside chamber and achieves linear motion. However, I haven't been able to get this to animate properly at all. I've tried all sorts…
