what is the best alternative to boolean controlled geometry in master sketch
First let me explain what I mean by "boolean controlled geometry in master sketch". Would like to do something that I don't think is possible so I am seeking alternative options that might make more sense context Here is an example of what I would like to do High level, say I'm trying to create a variable driven model of a…

Erratic behaviour of Fastened Mate Connector on a Parametric Roof
Hello. I'm trying to assemble a "parametric" roof for a building. In the Variable Studio there are several variables that should control the roof geometry.…

Changing Variable Studio Variables in View Only
Hello, I am creating a parametric design for a "Rock'N'Roll Bed" for van conversions, and am hoping to publish it as an open source resource for anyone to customize for their build and export cut files. I have all my important dimensions driven by a variable studio, and am just now realizing view only users cannot edit…

Is there a way to always have the "show expressions" option on when entering/viewing a sketch?
I'm working on a object with a lot of parametrization. On some parts, numbers don't really mean anything right now/I'd like to see the expressions, but I always have to activate that setting when entering a sketch. Is there a way to enable the "Show expressions" by default? Or per sketch/document?

Recommended books on parametric CAD in general?
Hi, I was wondering if there is any good book on modeling with parametric CAD in general. All the books have I found so far are of the kind "3D Modeling with Software X, Version Y". I am more interested in general ideas and strategies. The kind of book I have in mind would be like the excellent "Digital Modeling" by…

Exchange Circle for Ellipsis in early Sketch, keep References Valid?
Hi Everyone, … and happy easter :-). I’m currently revising a design for a part that wouldn’t fit when 3D-Printed. At the very beginning of the design, i have a sketch which includes a circle-segment. This circle-segment is used/projected onto other pieces of the part multiple times, and then offsettet, referenced,…

What is the easiest way to make two identical parts with different sized holes at one point?
I'm a neophyte, although I once was fluent in SDRC Ideas. I'm designing a mechanism to help learn this new software. The mechanism has two concentric shafts, and two nearly identical cranks. The only differences between these two cranks is the size of the hole that attaches to the shaft ends. Since the shafts are…

Skeleton driven assemblies: creating families of parts and assemblies .
Is there a way to create in Onshape
families of parts and assemblies for using them independently on different skeleton
driven assemblies? My idea is
to create a master assembly where I only put the sketches defining the general
geometry and then snapping on these sketches the adaptive parts I modeled
separately. These…

Is there any video tutorials for building parametric curves with functions with FeatureScript?
Like parametric curves by interpolation and Bezier curves. Im completely new to featurescript and i have been having a hard time learning it from the material disposed by onshape.

Edit parameter values through API - how?
How can I edit parameter values of Features in a Part Studio? I'd like to be able to change these through the API, as opposed to the user having to change it in the Part Studio for each and every Feature. I can read them with "Get Feature Specs", but I don't see a way of changing the feature specs... Have I missed an API…
