  • part studio granularity best practices and refactoring

    With the help of you all I've been learning onshape and am continually impressed. As yet though, I I've not really grokked the Zen of how complex part studios and assemblies should be. As a result, I find myself frequently wanting to refactor what features are in what part studios. In some cases, this is merely aesthetic…

  • Get part studio name within featurescript

    Can you get part studio name within featurscript? Why? I'm using a CAM that allows importing of solids with metadata via a CSV file. In said file the first column must have the File path of the .x_t solids that it will import. Since conveniently onshape can export parasolid files with the part studio name - part name (a…

  • Find Point On Face Edge

    I'm looking for the quickest way to find the highest or leading point on a contoured face. The face is surface cut to match our customer data and I need the point to update to the "highest" point on the face when the positional angle is changed and the cut face auto updates.

  • How to make wing with curved bottom? - airfoil tool and/or loft

    Hi, I'm working on a project and I'm trying to make a wing that has a curved bottom that progressively gets thinner as it goes along. I've tried using the onshape airfoil script but I can't get the same effect when I loft - instead I get straight lines. I've tried using guides when lofting but that is difficult because…

  • 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?

  • API for creating a Part Studio?

    I'm confused about this for a long time, which API should I use to create a Part Studio from an Assembly Studio in a new tab in a document?

  • no thumbnails after import

    Hi, I'm trying to import a single part studio from a .step file (or by translating a tab with an Assembly studio to a single part studio), but after the translation completes successfully I can't get any of the thumbnails from this single part studio, though I can get a link for each part and size in the api response (f.e.…

  • How does the createTranslation API work?

    Hi, I'm trying to execute an API call to create a translation for my .step file to create a Single Part Studio in a new a tab of the document from Django backend. Unfortunately there is not much documentation for this call, the only thing explaining how to do it I've found here and it says the following:"The file is…

  • Is there a way to have 2 profiles in a Frame Sketch

    I have a set of extrusions that are absolutely always used in pairs with brackets to keep hem assembled. They are in fact assembled before mitering ends. When tried using a sketch with 2 profiles included the result is failure in the frame feature. No error messages, just nothing appears. Is there a way to accomplish this…
