Sketch Tools Unresponsive
I'm using Onshape in a Safari browser. While editing a sketch, some - but not all - of the tools will become unresponsive. Typically, the tools on the left end of the sketch bar, e.g., rectangle, line, are the ones that are affected. The ones on the right end of the row of icons continue to respond. The only way that I've…

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.

Sketch not able to be extruded?
I have sketched the Survivor logo, and now I want to extrude it. However, when I try to extrude, I can't select the sketch or any of the parts of it. The error for the extrude is: "Extrude did not regenerate properly: Select face or sketch region to extrude." I am pretty sure this is a bug or something, because I have done…

Exchange Circle for Ellipsis in early Sketch, keep References Valid?
Hi Everyone, … and happy easter :-). I’m currently revising a design for a part that wouldn’t fit when 3D-Printed. At the very beginning of the design, i have a sketch which includes a circle-segment. This circle-segment is used/projected onto other pieces of the part multiple times, and then offsettet, referenced,…

I'm having trouble with skPolyline --- ALREADY ANSWERED...
I am having trouble with this code: var fPoints is array = []; var L = 10.0; var CL = L; var Rule = 1.0 ; for (var i = 0; i < definition.numberOfF; i += 1) { fPoints = append(fPoints,vector(0,CL*inch)); CL = CL/Rule; } skPolyline(sketch1, "polyline1", { "points" : fPoints }); I'm getting "Precondition of skPolyline failed…

Plane axis tilt
How can i tilt the axis of a plane? I want to sketch on, and extrude from slanted surface. See how it's not lining up?

Making a 3D Diamond
I've sketched a diamond: But Im having some trouble getting a 3D solid out of it. The closest I've got is with Revolve. But obviously this rounds off the intermediate edges, creating more of a conical shape: I think the answer lies with the Loft tool, but I'm not sure. Here's the URL:…

Splicing sketches and extrusions into 3D objects
As a learning exercise, I'm recreating this object. As you can see, I omitted a few ridges, threads, etc. from the left-hand side. Can I get in there and splice a few sketches and extrudes between existing features? Or do I have to start again? Thanks.

Loft sketches using FeatureScript
Hello, I am trying to build a FeatureScript that will take external data, generate offset sketches and loft them. Each sketch is essentially a profile. However, I am having difficulties creating an array of sketches or profiles to then pass to the opLoft function #N00B. Could anyone take a look at my code? FeatureScript…

Drawing a "gem" - sketch on more than one plane?
I've been following a lot of tutorials and my CAD skills are growing every day. But just when I think I'm ready to tackle a real project, I once again hit against the "this ain't Maya" wall. Clearly, I"m not thinking correctly about these things. Please help. My current challenge is to model what I'll call that classic…

duplicate an entity from a sketch
Hi using const outsideCircle = sketchEntityQuery(id + "toothSketch", EntityType.EDGE, "outsideCircle"); Is it possible to create a new sketch and duplicate the entity outsideCircle onto the new one ? (or should I keep the original parameters in variables to be able to do a new skCircle/sk... ?) thanks,

Controlling extrusions from sketches / building a 3D solid solely through sketches
So, let's say I've created the following solid by extruding different sketch surfaces to different depths. The various extrusion depths are hidden away as feature settings. This makes them difficult to modify. In a real project, where the proper extrusion depth could depend on other surfaces (rather than blind distances),…

Can I export flat sketches as a drawing?
Hello! I've only been using Onshape for a few months (off and on) so I only really know the basics. I am working on a project where I draw out plans, print them out, tape them to a sheet of foam, and cut them out. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find a on option to export sketches as flat, 2D drawings without first…

Is there a way to draw a zig zag or wavy line in Onshape?
I've searched the web multiple times, but without any luck. It seems other programs that work on vector/math based models (like Illustrator) has tool support for that, as demonstrated in this video: https://youtu.be/z0PD9ifGtHc, but I can't find any equivalent in Onshape.

How Do I Subtract a Number from My Variable
I am trying to iterate an skCircle to space them out evenly, but I keep on running into an error: "Can not subtract ValueWithUnits (map) and number" for (var i = 0 * inch; i < definition.length; i += 1) { var iss = i - 0.5; skCircle(sketch2, "circle" ~ i, { "center" : vector((iss), 0.5 * inch), "radius" : 0.6299 * inch });…
