EXPORT ASSEMBLY IN POSITION AND AS ONE PART
So I made an assembly of a "sphere" made out of pentagons and hexagons by mating their faces but when I try to export the assembly (as STP or parasolid) all the parts are separated and in their original position (not mated). The only way I found to keep the assembly arrangement is to export it as STL but I need this part…

Can I export sub-assemblies defined relative to the origin of the main assembly?
I have a big assembly composed of parts and sub assemblies. I'm trying to create an SDF robot description file from this assembly, and so I'd like to export all the sub-assemblies as STL's and calculate their inertial properties. The problem is that I need the exported STL's to be defined relative to the main assembly…

I'm looking to convert an STL to NURBS directly, face-for-face
I've downloaded this file intended for use on blender for a character from a game i like. I imported it into blender as a converted STL and took away all the surfaces i didn't need. I then imported it into Onshape to check if it was a surface or a set of full parts. I want to directly turn this closed-body STL into STEP or…

Query vertices of mixed part?
I would like to take advantage of the new mixed modeling. I'm starting with an STL body as the main input, but I can't seem to query any of the vertices. Is there a way to query the vertices of a mixed part?

Which editor can I use so I can see STL file created in Onshape ?
Hi, I am trying to read the scrit of an STL file but I cannot. I have tried VIM in Ubuntu as well as Notepad ++ in Windows but still I can see only something like this: u9¿üúÔ>ÙØû»Zû8¿^S4Ö>E,.¼WÜ:¿^YQÕ>ê<^T¼^@^@dQX½áQI?^K<8e>^]?WÜ:¿^YQÕ>ê<^T¼Zû8¿^S4Ö>E,.¼^@<95>;¿U¥Õ>_§%¼^@^@»<94>_<ÂwW?<84>1…

How to Modify Imported Parts (*.stl?)
I've commissioned a professional engineer to design some very complicated parts for me and I'd like import them into onshape with the desire to change some dimensions of the parts as needed. Basically my project is going to be trial and error, so I'd like to be able to modify some of the parts provided so that I can 3D…

hi, can i export a xt or stl directly to the desktop in my computer (not to the download folder)?
usually i need to cut and past all the file i download from the downloads to the desktop, is there a way to skip it? :)

After importing STL, is there a way to compute it back to a solid?
Hi guys, most other CADs have an option to make solids out of imported surface geometry I was wondering if OS has/will have anything like that. Very intricate models are very difficult to replicate after being imported in OS so the best option would be to convert them to solids inside OS so that they can be worked on as…

resize STL by specifying a value for an edge/etc?
Hi guys, I have a STL-related question as I start importing STLs into onshape...is there a way to tell onshape that "this distance is 20mm -> resize the whole thing accordingly" ?

importing files
I'm wondering what types of files can be imported into onshape for editing? I would love to be able to take something from a place like thingaverse and edit it here to 3D print. Thanks!
