"Group" while in Parts Studio?
Hello! I have a Pattern of a part (35 instances) in Part Studio that I wanted to make a Group. I read that I have to put all the copies in an Assembly and then create the Group? Seems it would be more efficient to have the option to create the Group where the Pattern was created. ps There is no 'Group' in "Tags"

Multiple parts from the same sketch in part studio
Hi all, I have a sketch of the face for an aluminium profile which I now want to extrude to four (or multiple) parts of different lengths. The idea being that each of these lengths of alu extrusions will then be used multiple times in an assembly to build a frame. Since the profile face is the same, my expected flow would…

Display name of the part in the tree
Is it possible to have different display name of the part in the tree than just standard "Name". For example I have part called "Bracket". It has Part number 12345 and revision A. I would like to see it in the tree as "12345-A Bracket". Of course I can change its "Name" to "12345-A Bracket" but that would be duplicating…

Can a Part be moved to another Part Studio?
Extended version of the question: Can a Part instance be cut/copy-pasted from the Part Studio instance where it was created to another Part Studio instance, including the corresponding feature tree items? Assume that the other (receiving) Part Studio instance already contains a populated feature tree that needs to be…

Sheet metal corner relief
A flange bend relief defaulted to rectangular and I can't seem to convert it to round. It's probably something simple I did wrong but I can't figure it out. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c906a6bdcf50136ee9dbb9e1/w/9f6d794f5ac613eb6ba6aa67/e/1da339c45f2037e90590ec63 How do I do this?

A one-shot script that populates a feature tree
Hi Everybody! I had already touched upon this subject but there was no way to implement it. Let me remind as discussion was carried out: Is there any way to write a script that could call features in the particular order(i.e. by scenario)? I know that I can just create another feature and call all functions (custom…

I want to gather solidworks parts into a part studio and continue working on them there. How?
Derived parts are cumbersome as you have to modify each part in a seperate browser tab, then create new versions etc: very messy. It seems by far the best way is to make an assembly of the parts in solidworks and pack&go it then import the lot. Is that true? However, if I find later I've left some of the parts out of the…

PART STUDIOS & ASSEMBLIES
If you have your part studio complete and then make an assembly to match it and then go back and tweak the part studio layout is there any way to "update" the assembly rather than re-insert any new parts or change the mates to reflect changes in the part studio?

Can't get Carr Lane part Drawings.
I have just signed up to Onshape and have nothing installed on my Laptop. So I just go the Onshapes website and log in. I'm trying to import some part programs from Carr Lane in the following 3D formatts, .step and .igs or .sldprt. Do I need to install another programs in my Laptop? If so what ones do I need?

Metric Screws & Nuts
I have a design I'm working on that needs over 100 screws. I plan on using simple head and body and posibly a hex head to keep it simple. But, there are a variety of screws. Mostly M5 and M4s but of various lengths ranging from 10mm to 35mm. I was thinking I could create one part studio, create one sketch and just…

Parts Per Studio
I'm new to MCAD and starting to learn with onshape. One thing I'm not clear on and haven't found guidance is how many parts in one part studio. When I watch the video tutorials, I see that there's usually several different unrelated parts in one studio, rather than 1 part per studio. So is there any best practices out…

Different units for different part studios in a document
I want to be able to set the units for some parts to be inches and some to be mm. I can change the document units and create a new part studio in the desired units, but if I review previously completed part studios they are now displayed in the new unit system. Can individual part studios have different unit settings? I…

How do I "join" 2 or more separate parts in the same part studio together?
I've constructed a part that I intend to 3d print. I drew it in as 3 different parts on the same Part Studio (I Mirrored one part and overlapped it with itself). Now I want to merge those separate parts into one single part and then modify the overall dimension of the final part. I can't seem to find any type of grouping…

Global Variables
My project has a few Part Studios. They use the same variables (at the least most of them overlap). Is there a way to define a variable that works across multiple Part Studios? For example: I have a bunch of frames and panels in one Part Studio. To make things easier, I created tubs that connect those frame together in a…
