  • Am I blind or is there no way to change a publication unit?

    As I was about to do this I figured I could change my default units in my preferences, create a publication (it would then be set to my "default" units), then change back to my "normal" units in the preferences. I was surprised when I didn't find a "workspace unit" (or equivalent setting) in the publication hamburger menu!…

  • Dual Dimensions in part studio and measure tool?

    As far as I can tell there is no option for dual dimensions in the part studio sketches or within the measure tool. While searching for this function I found a forum post stating that onshape is working on it, and even a improvement request that was marked complete in 2021. However I cannot find dual dimensions in anything…

When I then go to open the DXF file in another program (such as Inkscape) and ask it to 'Read scaling method from file', then my image comes up as 60" by 60" rather than 60mm x…

  • Drawing generated in English Units, not settings in Metric.

    When I create a drawing for a part I have my general and drawing settings units set to metric. Yet when I create a drawing it uses english units. How do I fix this?

  • Different units for different part studios in a document

    I want to be able to set the units for some parts to be inches and some to be mm. I can change the document units and create a new part studio in the desired units, but if I review previously completed part studios they are now displayed in the new unit system. Can individual part studios have different unit settings? I…
