Hey FeatureScripters - What would you like to see in an advanced FeatureScript tutorial?
Hey everyone, I'm Josh, one of the Part Studio developers. Recently I decided the community could use a more advanced tutorial to cover some of the trickier topics in FeatureScript: Queries, ids, transient ids, robust queries, tracking queries, etc. We could also cover common problems, gotchas, tips n' tricks, that sort of…

How to find the Part files used as examples in the lessons?
Hi, I've been going through various lessons on learn.onshape.com, and I find that very often they will show how to use a feature with an example Part Studio file. However there never seems to be an option to open that file myself and have a play around. Are these files not publicly available? I learn by doing, so would…
Where has the camera control moved to?
I am running through the render studio tutorials but have not been able to find the camera control that it asks for and shows in the original version. It seems it has been removed from the tree, but I have searched all over and haven't been able to locate it.
Is there a Knurling featurescript available? (like Thread Creator)
Hello All, I am looking for a featurescript which creates knurling on my parts. I am looking for something that takes a cylindrical face and cuts the pattern into the solid body. Normally, I would use cosmetic knurl, but this will be 3D printed so I need geometry to be modified. I am specifically looking to make a…
Video of my CAD?
Hi I'd like to do a video of my CAD for a presentation I will do soon. I'd like a video create by Onshape and allows to see every angle, surface, shape etc of my CAD. I don't want to do a video of my screen and work on it after. So I was asking myself if it was possible to directly create a video with Onshape or other…
How do my students get their certificate after completing sections of the learning pathways?
I have several students that have emailed me and said they can't get their certificate after they completed OnShape Fundamentals: CAD. How do they get these certificates and can they send them to me, their teachers, so I have record of there work.
Does anyone have a copy of the old tutorial videos?
I have been using the Tutorials to get my students started for several years now. A couple of months ago, it was brought to my attention that they are not working properly. I have reached out to Onshape Support, and they have done some looking, but as the video tutorials are several years old, they haven't had any luck…
Looking at Students' progress in Intro to CAD pathway
Hello, I'm a HS teacher with an Educational Plan. I asked my students to sign up for one as well, and start on the Intro to CAD course. Is there a way for me to see their progress through it, other than asking them to share screenshots?
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…

Beams / Frame Generation (Tutorial) - Where Is It?
I've just worked through Onshape Fundamentals: CAD course. I enjoyed the course, am impressed with what Onshape has to offer, and am planning to adopt Onshape for my business. I'm used to using Autodesk Inventor, and use Inventor's frame generator feature quite often. It seems like Onshape's equavalent is "Beams." It would…
F1 Style Cambered Aerofoil Feature Script
I've been using Onshape for a while now, I lecture in Aerodynamics at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK and actively use Onshape as part of the modules I teach across different Engineering disciplines. Recently I've been working on a slightly larger project with students to design an open-wheeled F1 style car and…

Hello, I am creating a course activity for students to virtually dissect mechanisms and would like to use some of the Documents used in Tutorials and Webinars. Are those Documents available in a repository I can access? Thanks in advance
Can't create thread, Just get an error and red thread outline
I've been struggling for about an hour, searching the internet and what not to see if anyone else was getting this issue, I was originally trying to create a thread for a Hydraulic cylinder, but I made screw just to make sure I could get the issue to appear again. I know its most likely because I'm just missing it, but I'm…
Handle Geometry In Exercise 5.2.2 - Creating Mate Connectors Changes CoM
Hey Everyone! I redid this exercise but I am running into the same issue. I'm initially trying to follow the directions verbatim in order to better understand how OnShape works and handles. The issue I am running into is with the way the arm loads the angle of geometry in Slide (Step) 12 eventually translates into an…
Training for a person with no CAD experience?
I am searching for a way to train people that have NO CAD experience. The newly refined 'Learning Center' is great - however, the material requires a basic understanding of CAD and parametric solid modeling. What resources do you suggest?
