  • Grow/increase a dimension in a pattern?

    I want to create a circular pattern of a rectangular extrusion feature. As the feature rotates, I want the length of the rectangle to increase. Is this possible? I've tried a sketch pattern where the length is an equation (1+#rotangle/300) and the starting angle of the rectangle is defined by the dimension #rotangle, but…

  • Best way to design with assembly movement clearances?

    I understand the Top Down design approach with multiple static parts in a Design Studio. I have modelled a number of inter-related parts in one project, however I am wondering the best approach for modifying a part to allow the movement within the assembly. A door's swing for example requires a specific clearance for the…

  • Sketching

    Hi, I'm trying to select two end points and make them symmetric about a horizontal construction line. However Onshape seems to select the lines rather than the end points and I don't get the expected output. I'm completing the "Multi Part Studios" self paced course / "02 Multi-Part Sketching Techniques" exercise. Any…

  • Creating a sketch from a face, with edges imported

    Forgive me if I've missed the obvious. I want to create a sketch from a face, and import some of the edges of that face into the sketch. How do I do that?

  • Sketch scaling

    There have been several posts asking about sketch scaling, but most of them have not been touched in a while. I was looking to see if anyone has created a faster work around than starting a new sketch with all of the dimensions based on a variable called "scale factor". As seen in the attached, I have a fairly complex…

  • Has dynamic 3d sketches been created

    The one thing holding our company back to using onshape commercially is predominately the ability to dynamic 3d sketching (eg solidworks 3d sketch function). We do plant layout pipng and need quick 3d sketching sweep profiles. we need to be able to radius between sketch entities dynamically. Last look at software it was…
