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…

New Custom Tool : SVG to Sketch
Hey all — long-time Onshape user, wanted to share something I've been building and using in production. The problem: Getting vector artwork (logos, cutout profiles, panel designs, icons) into Onshape as real, editable sketch geometry is annoying. DXF import can be inconsistent, and manually retracing SVGs with the sketch…

Imprint document version on parts?
I design parts for 3D printing. I'd love to be able to have the document's version number on the parts. I go through so many minor iterations! So basically I want the version number to be in a Text object in a sketch and automatically update. Possible?

Couple of problems with a sketched part
Hi, I am a relative novice in need of some technical support and the community comes highly recommended… This is two problems rolled into one, but it's with the same document and I think the problems might be related. The document is here;…

How to scale a sketch parametrically?
Hi all, I am making a simple jewelry box, with the outline of a rose flower debossed into the lid. I created the sketch of the rose in Inkspape, and then imported the resulting .DXF into onshape. The sketch is very complex, lots of curves and vertices. I know that when you open a sketch, and it has no dimensions, that if…

Why isn't the coincident constraint working right?
Applied a coincident constraint from this construction line to a spline, yet it created this micro gap which I didn't notice until I really looked. This later caused issues for me when I went to make a projected curve and the shape not filling in properly as its not an enclosed loop. The sketch is entirely fixed, no points…

Trouble with sketch constraints on Text fields
For my first project with Onshape, I am trying to modify an object by adding text to it in a repeating circular manner. I understand that the text entity cannot be part of a circular pattern so this is not my issue. I want each text object to be different anyway (days of the week). To have the text correctly positioned…

Adding extruded drawing to a part
Hey I'm messing around with adobe illustrator and Onshape, and I'm wondering if there's anyway I can get a drawing onto a part. I want to add a dog's face to a part, but it seems like the only way to do that is to import the AI file as a PNG, then trace it. This doesn't seem like the cleanest way to do this. Does anybody…
