Same material across all configurations
As an exercise I'm creating a configurable fastener to which i'm tring to attach a material, finish and part number from a catalogue I use regularly. I have discovered that assiging a material only applies to that unique configuration. Of course I want all configurations to be the same material. Perhaps there's an order of…

Can't remove students' custom materials libraries
To start with, I have a custom material library that I have built for my classes that I want to automatically insert itself into the documents for each of my students. To accomplish that, I shared it with the classroom as view only and checked the box under the classroom's Preferences to "add classroom owned shared…

is there a way to automatically set material to all your designed parts?
My question is about material designation. Is there a way to do this as a global setting before you start designing your parts? For instance if you will make something with your 3d printer you know before hand that all your printed parts will be ABS for example. You know all your brass inserts are brass, like wise all your…

Reset material so featurescript can modify it?
I have a lot of bodies which have had their material properties edited interactively. I've now created a featurescript to change the material properties with setProperty. However this doesn't work for bodies where the property has been changed interactively, even if the material is reset to "None". Is there any way to…

Set all material properites in featurescript
Is this possible? I am hoping to set all material properties not just the material density. Things like tensile, yield... I keeping finding examples where the only thing being set is the density. Or...is it possible to assign a material from a material library within featurescript(I'm pretty sure no but...).

How do I check what material is applied?
When I am working on a part, how do I know if a material has already been applied, or what material has been applied?

Publicly available materials libraries with paper, plastic, cardboard materials?
Hi, I'm a newbie to OnShape and the products we design typically include materials such as paper, paperboard, corrugated cardboard, and plastic sheets and films. The materials library in OnShape seems very limited on these types of materials, (for instance, no material seems to include the word paper, and plastics seem to…

Does anyone know if there are plans to allow Onshape to import Creo .mtl material files?
I have a set of custom .mtl files from Creo that I would like to use in Onshape.

Assign weight to a mocked up part
I'd like to get an estimate for the center of gravity of my design. The design includes multiple mock ups of purchased parts (like motor, speaker, etc). I'd like to enter a weight for the part. It is good enough for my purposes to assume uniform density of the part. I see we can pick materials for a part, but I see no way…

How to assign material from a spreadsheet data base
is this a feature script capability? if not, then is there another way of automating material assignment from a data base like excel spread sheet? say my spread sheet has two columns: part numbers & material and my assembly in onshape has also the same exact part numbers.

drawing materials and weight
hello it is a simple question i couldnt find the answer. i have assigned the material in this case steel for a piece (after finish a drawing of the piece) and when i actualisated the drawing i was expecting that it would put the material and the weight of the piece in the low part of the sheet (there is the two sections in…

FeatureScript Material Selection
Thank you so much for adding setProperty to FeatureScript! Is there anyway to set the PropertyType.MATERIAL from the Onshape material library? Or do I always need to define the name and density myself using the material() function?

Adding new materials
How do we add new materials? One of the parts in my new design is a light polarizing film. Apparently, it's usually a thin sheet of polyvinyl alcohol plastic (PVA/PVOH), but it's not available in the drop-down menu.

Controlling lineweights in drawings
Hi, is there a way to custom line types, line weights, hatch scales etc in drawings? For example, cut lines made heavier than other lines, changing patterns in cut areas to represent different materials, etc? Thanks!
