FS generated sketch to be accessible in Asseblies
Aloha All, I am trying to write a FS that generates a sketch that is accessible from within Assemblies. What I am seeing is that a feature is generated with the sketch I have devised but this "sketch" isn't available to insert into an Assembly. Is there a way to create a sketch in FS that shows up as an actual sketch…

Help with defining a sketch and future tips
Can someone please tell me how I can define this sketch? Nothing moves when I try moving different sections. Also are there any tips for defining sketches, I feel like I run into this issue quite a bit.

Pattern of sketches containing text with increasing values
I am trying to create a circular pattern of (embossed) text on a surface, with each instance displaying a different value in increasing order. A simple example would be a clock with hours values increasing around the dial. My final project will have much more than 12 values but the dial will serve here as an illustration…

HELP: Tangent constraint removes sketch face.
Hello, weird interaction I'm fighting: Connecting a line to spine using a tangent constraint removes the face of the sketch. Unsure if it's a bug or something I'm unintentionally doing is causing it to happen. Any suggestions?

New Sketch Function: Hershey Text
Link to Hershey Text I have seen a few improvement requests related to adding single line fonts for CNC engraving. After some research I found these 31 single line or "Hershey Fonts" available online here, and an explanation on how to decode them. I converted the data into a CSV for FeatureScript to interpret and tried to…

Part of my airfoil cutout keeps scaling as I try transform it a few millimetres forward???
I made a cutout of an airfoil and want to move it forward about 7mm from where it started to make space for a leading edge slat that I am attempting to create. I am currently copy and pasting the sketch, re-aligning it to it's original position, then moving it forwards, but the cut-out section of the airfoil keeps on…

Custom Feature: Pulleys with custom tooth profiles
BackstorySome months back I ran into some challenges with the standard OnShape tooling when it came to modelling a belt and set of pulleys. I took to the forum for help, where I was pointed to a series of custom FeatureScript solutions. Namely: This parts studio with a custom belt (though the pitch is wrong). I liked the…

Custom Feature: Friction fit (interference fit) quick sketch tool
I started adding a small ridge or notch in items that I need to fit together snugly but where I don't trust the tolerance of my printer. I found it tedious to manually sketch 2-4 small ridges to extrude up the side of every box, so I have created a feature studio that does this automatically, adding a sketch to the centre…

"Use" command in a sketch does not update after upstream changes
I have a part studio that has a body that is a composite of multiple bodies (all defined from the start in Onshape in this feature tree). After the Boolean, I select a face that spans across what used to be multiple bodies and start a sketch. I click the "use" command to convert the edge bounds of that face to a sketch,…

turning a function into a sketch line
I was wondering if it is possible to take a function such as y=u/x^2 into an a sketch line. the reason being is i would like to create a 3d hill sphere. with revolves i would only need one side of it so y=u/x^2 (0,inf)

Reuse Sketches
Hi everybody! I have an issue that I run into every once in a while that I'd like feedback on from the great community here. Sometimes, I find myself wanting to reuse sketches. This could be the shape of a specific punchout for a connector that I might need to use several times in the same part, and/or reuse in other…

How to find what is "not fully defined" in a sketch the is all black with no blue dots
Every so often I end up with a sketch that is not fully defined with no blue showing. The normal problem is that the undefined point is under a defined point. The only way that I have found to find the undefined point is to remove constraints to move the existing lines until I can find the actual problem. Is there a way to…
