I can't get a cycloid's platted points to scale in a uniform way
How do I get the points to scale without distortion? This section of my code takes a bunch of input parameters and creates a parametric function that plots points that are part of the line for a cycloid. The if statement, if (eclen), is a boolean that, when true, is supposed to scale the points by adding (ec_shell-cymod)…

Is there a way to actually fix the dreaded "some external references are missing"?
Hello, So, yet again I dared to rearrange some things in a part and got punished for it. Is there some way to actually fix those references, something similar to deleting and re-adding a "missing blah of blah" you get in non-sketch operations? Or at least something one can do to avoid it (other than "never use…

How do I extrude an arc on the face of square tubing that has a fillet?
I have 1x2 rectangular steel tubing and I'm trying to draw an arc on the face and extrude away the sides so that the top of the tube is cut into an arc. Because of the fillets on the edges of the tubing I'm being left with the fillet edges . See pic. How do I get the edges selected to be extruded away?

How to Identify Faces Directly Created from Sketch Edges in an Extruded Part (FeatureScript)?
Hi everyone, I’m working with FeatureScript in Onshape and I have a question regarding extrusion operations. I’ve created a part by extruding a sketch, and now I need to identify which faces of the resulting solid are directly created from the edges of the sketch (i.e., the side faces that are the result of extruding the…

How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
When I am in sketch mode and drawing a line, how can I know how long my line is? I think for 2D sketches it would be very useful to have a grid that you could use as a guide. Is this currently possible?

How can I resize a large number of sketch entities without changing their location?
I am working on a part studio where multiple parts with linear patterns of holes need to overlap so the holes maintain their concentric relationships. I have done this by taking the original sketch with my hole pattern and copy/pasting it into other sketches from which I am extruding the various parts. I assumed that the…

How do I model a shape where the bottom face differs from the top?
Hi everyone, I’m still quite new to Onshape and I’m trying to model a part based on a hand-drawn sketch: So far, I’ve created the top face as a 2D sketch: However, the bottom face of the part is different from the top (highlighted in yellow in the first image), and I’m not sure how to create this correctly in Onshape.…

Scaling images in sketches
The new insert image functionality arrived just in time - I have a physical object that I need to model in 3D. I was delighted to see that I can do this: * insert image * draw a line along a particular feature of the image * set a dimension for that line * see both the line and the image resize themselves This allows me to…

reusing a sketch in featurescript
I'm working on what will be a template to 3d print and then used for routing some plywood. One of the basic issues with machining is of course the tool diameter and thus the fillets created in corners. I thought it would be interesting to make a reusable feature to reapply some corner relief to address this. I have already…

Sketch dimension text
Is it still true that you cannot add text to a dimension in sketch mode? Like when I have 8 concentric diameters to dimension, I can't put "flange nut b.c." and "pitch CL" on respective dims, to tell them apart?

Move letter from text
Hello I'm not new to CAD, but to OnShape. If I create a text with several letters in the sketch mode, how can I move just one letter? If I use the transform option the whole text moves along and not just one letter. Can I somehow de-link these letters? Any help appreciated.
