Importing .stp / .step file appears only as one Surface. How to transform to an Onshape Part
When importing a .stp or .step file it shows up in a Part Studio only as one "Surface" in the lower left area. But I need one solid "Part" for editing it e.g. removing parts of the geometry. I have tried various things link converting to solid via Freecad or importing in a different format. Nothing worked. Is there a…
Italics in Part Studio Features panel, what does it mean?
I have a situation with a part I am working on in Part Studio. In the Features panel, past a certain point items are listed in italics. Firstly, this is NOT things having hidden visibility like with planes and sketches - it's something different. When you go to edit the item, it doesn't show any of the configuration in the…
Increase resolution of exported STL
I am exporting a part studio as an STL with a resolution of "fine". What are the highest quality custom settings that I can use? The design have a very subtle and large radius curve that is more flat than round in the final part when I load the STL into my slicing software. I am 3D printing this and I need a nice gentle…
Add part to studio or assembly
I have a partner platform where the user will be able to copy a part from one document to an assembly in another. I can't quite seem to figure out the correct process to do this through the APIs. Is this just adding a feature?
Is it possible to move (or copy) parts from one part studio to another?
I imported a .stp file into a document. The importation process created a new part studio for the contents of the .stp file. I would like to move these parts from the new part studio to an established part studio. Is this possible?
Whats the easiest way to set a part in scale 2:1 to its original for a 3D print?
Hi, Simple question: I want to print a part but before exporting it I want to scale it twice as big as the original in the partstudio. So that 1mm in the part studio corresponds to 2mm of the printet part. thanks for your help, Arne
How do I construct/model a rolled plate in Onshape.
Transforming derived sketches
I'd like to align an derived sketch to the part in a PS. Is there a way to do it? It can be done easily with derived parts but not sketches.
Combining multiple imported parts into a single "Part Studio"
I am using the McMaster catalog for the first time to download pre-made hardware designs, like nuts, bolts, spacers. When I import a part, Onshape creates a new "Part Studio" tab for each individual part. Is there a way to combine the imported parts into a single "Part Studio", so I don't end up with a dozen tabs across…
Hiding derived mate connectors
Is there any way to hide mate connectors from derived parts? I can hide mate connectors that are created in a part studio, but if I derive a part into another part studio and it contains mate connectors I can't hide them. I end up with a ton of abandoned mate connectors near the origin.
Aligning and creating aligned holes across part studios?
Opening a topic just because there perhaps is an easier way I don't know about... I'm designing a frame on which blocks need to be mounted and held into place by a strip and a separator. The separator will be welded onto the beams after having the parts laser cut. The top mounting strip will be bolted on. Therefore I need…
Designing An Enclosure - Parts, Part Studios and Assemblies. Oh my!
Hi all, I am new to OnShape and to parametric design in general. I took several drafting classes back in 199<mumbles> and so I am familiar w/ mechanical and architectural drawing. I actually went online and found a bunch of the kinds of drawings we did in class and reproduced them myself. That was fun. Now I am trying to…
In a drawing: Assembly in one view, part in another
Hi I am new to OS and can't find and solution to this. I have an assembly of 3 parts. On the first drawing sheet I show the assembly with the 3 standard views for dimension details, welding specifications and so on. On the following 3 sheets I want to show the individual parts in the assembly for detail dimensions and so…
