Passing a variable from Part Studio A to Part Studio B
Hi, I am wondering if there was a way to pass a variable from a Part Studio to another one in the same document, at least passing only its value... I would expect that a Derive would work, but nope. P.S. Variable can have a few different meanings in Onshape, The one I am questionning here is the one that appears as an (x)…
Issues about the feature scrip to generate a parametric curve
Hello, I'm an amateur designer using the Onshape platform with very good results so far, I must admit. However, I've recently run into a problem I can't solve. I'm trying to generate an involute profile, and when I load the data, I get an error message. To explain, when I write the equations for X and Y, I get the error…
What is the best way to find what dimensions rely on a specific variable?
Edited for clarity: I have a variable defined in a Variable Studio, call it #width, that may be used somewhere in a document with a lot of part studios and assemblies. I do not want to look through the dimensions manually to find where this variable is used. I am looking for a way to search the entire document (or if not…
what is the best alternative to boolean controlled geometry in master sketch
First let me explain what I mean by "boolean controlled geometry in master sketch". Would like to do something that I don't think is possible so I am seeking alternative options that might make more sense context Here is an example of what I would like to do High level, say I'm trying to create a variable driven model of a…
Two bowls with almost the same dimensions
I want to create to different rectangular bowls with almost the same dimensions. They differ in shape and length and width and depth. The remaining dimensions like thinkness, spacing and liddepth are the same. I drew and formed the first bowl. I wanted to use the same variable table for the second bowl. However I got…
Configure Part Name Feature?
Does anyone have a custom feature for naming parts? We would like to configure the name of the part with an input variable. Configuring the name through the properties does not work for this application.

How to paste Mesurements into different Part Studios?
heyo, So my problem is that I want to use the measured variable "globaly" in the document (i.e adding it to variable studio). Or to explain it on my curent problem (but had this multiple times): I'm designing something that has a slide door in it. So in the first Part studio I design the contraption, the backet so to…
Can you configure a variable studio to be visible or not visible in a part studio?
I am working with parts that have various parametric variables, and a certain type of the product is determined by those variables. In the master part studio, I have several sketches that define the product, and types have about 10 variables that determine the shaping. My goal is to have set configurations that are of a…
use variable in assembly
Hi, I've been trying to use variable in assembly, but I'm not successful. Who knows how can use a variable from part in the assembly? Thank you
How to get a derived part to automatically change based on existing variables
Hello! New to Onshape and trying to streamline some stuff. I have a Part that leverages some variables in one Part Studio and I'd like to Derive this part in another Part Studio. While inserting/Deriving the part works just fine, I'd like this part to dynamically get resized based on the same variables in the Part Studio…
Get multiple vertices from a query
How would I go about getting multiple vertices from a query? I have a parameter that creates a query of 3 points. I am attempting to make a plane using the 3 points. Here is what I have so far: annotation {"Name" : "Points", "Filter" : (EntityType.VERTEX), "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 3} definition.points is Query; var points =…
assembly configuration list variables/ derived variables from configuration variables
Hello, Some time ago, I needed tot explore the possibilities of configurations for design automation. I remember there were still some hurdles to overcome to get it working in our specific setup, as of today I still couldn't make it work. I need to train other designers and I would like to make is as "automatic" as…
