  • Get multiple vertices from a query

    How would I go about getting multiple vertices from a query? I have a parameter that creates a query of 3 points. I am attempting to make a plane using the 3 points. Here is what I have so far: annotation {"Name" : "Points", "Filter" : (EntityType.VERTEX), "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 3} definition.points is Query; var points =…

  • Next number in part number scheme feature script

    How can I modify my featurescript for an O-ring part studio to automatically generate next part number for each new configuration, following the in-built onshape numbering scheme? Currently, I have to manually enter the desired configuration in the properties and create a version within the part studio. I have read that…

  • Setting the Name Property on a Composite Part

A strategy I have conceived to do this is something like the following. The part number would be configured in the configured properties table using a…

  • Referencing cut list information in assembly drawings and Onshape BOM

    Prefacing this with being only a couple weeks into actually using Onshape I have a number of parts studios that use featurescripts to produce a cut list with information we want to show on PDF shop drawings.
