properties

I regularly rely on configurable parts to make changes in higher level assemblies without breaking mates. I have configured many parts and generally understand how to do so. However, I am struggling to figure out what the best architecture would be for creating a configurable tube. The properties that need to be configured…

Is there a way to re-order my company's custom properties? I want certain properties to be above others in the dialog and I can't figure out how to change their positions.

I just realized what it was -- the subassemblies were either entirely fixed or had some movable mates.

Hi! I have example case where I have configuration list for pipe diameter and wall thickness. There is also configuration variable for length. I have configured properties for two pipe sizes, but initial length of pipe is also automatically added. I'd like to get BOM for different sizes, but for any lengths. How I ignore…

When using my own or Onshape templates I can't get the Mass or Material properties to update. Is this a wider issue, or perhaps something I'm not doing quite right? 

Hello all - I have a situation that I need to try and address. I have designed a custom template for OnShape using AutoCAD. I have created a 'custom template' - Imported the AutoCAD dwg into the template and exported with all the properties. Why is it that even though I have set the properties, (when re-imported) they are…

I'm currently finishing up a bearing generator with a list of bearings preset from VEXpro. But also can generate its own bearings. I'm trying to apply a mass to the preset bearings, but it returns an error when a numerical value with a unit of weight is applied. Precondition of setProperty failed (definition.value is…

Hello, does anyone know a way to auto fill the file properties and thus the title block using the partname? Using solidworks I created a macro that would extract part number and name from the filename.

I need to back up some ideas with calculations in order to prove validity ( and relieve a few decision makers of liability). Onshape has so many powerful features, this seems like a natural fit. Thank you, Ken Harris

Hello, When a color is configured with a face, all of the configuration inputs are placed into columns. Is there a way to delete the unwanted configured columns? Or perhaps a way to configure a color in the standard configuration panel? The way it is configured now, I can't configure colors unless the stars align with all…

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to add some properties to all the parts from a document or just a tab, for example the project name? For now I have to add a project for each parts from the same document. As the same when we use the automatic part numbering is there a way to do it for all the part in one time? This…

I can't seem to find a Finish property anywhere... Is this not an option in OS? For example, welded, painted, etc.
