Scale by Volume
Is it possible in OnShape to scale a part uniformly by volume rather than by axis? The transform>scale option scales by axis with a vertex as its point of origin for the scale. However, I'm needing to "swell" a part by a few percent for a sla printer to account for resin shrinkage,

Problem between revolute mate and tangent mate
New to OnShape, making a project for a class.The mates I'm using all seem to work fine on their own, but when I try to animate or move the central revolute mate it gives me the error: If I suppress the tangent mates it works, but there are no constraints on the tangent mates, or any of the other mates I've used, so I'm…

How can I make a linear pattern number variable?
I have a sheet metal part that I can alter the length of using a configuration, along the part I have a set of holes that repeat a given distance set in the linear pattern. I would like to set a variable to change the number of instances but it doesn't seem possible to assign a variable to the number of instances as it's…

Learning Center doesn't work!
When I try to do a part studio in the learning center It asks me to sign in even though I'm already signed into onshape, when I click sign in it opens my documents, closes it, then goes back to the original part studio page and asks me to sign in again. How can I fix this? It did the same in incognito and I even cleared my…

constraint a download assembly or create one part with several in assembly
Hi all, I receive all the day CAD files (in step format) I open on Onshape. Most of them are directly opened in one assembly window (sometimes each parts are also opened in a single part studio). But the assembly is never constrained... i.e. I can take a part which is supposed to be fixed and move it freely... So my first…

dimensions during creation instead of separate entry using dimensioning function
I'm a total (old dude) newb - and this should be dead simple! When I try to create an object (center point rectangle for instance) the Youtube vids show that the dims can be entered directly on the screen as the object is being drawn by double clicking the dim that appears and typing in the desired number. I can only get…

Looking for an Animated model of the Geneva Wheel Assembly
Hello, While I know how to build a Geneva Wheel Assembly, I don't know how to animate the assembly. In particular how to set the ratio of rotation between the slotted wheel and driver wheel (with 1 pin)? Does anyone have a demo that I can play with to learn how to change the settings? Thanks, Jack

Reality Server - possible to 'close' solids in a section view?
Hi, I'm a relative newcomer to Reality Server within Onshape and have come across a problem. I would like to use the section view functionality within Reality Server to section through some solids, but it only shows the solids as 'open' shells (i.e. as if a sheet body in CAD) within the section plane. Is there an option…

Restructuring imported assemblies via API
I'm importing an assembly that with has multiple instances of the same part number, as shown here (3x PN3): PN1- PN2- PN3- PN3- PN3 OnShape creates 3x Documents that are all identical copies of PN3, and an assembly structure that references each of them individually.

About "Link tab" possible upgrade/improvement?
First of all let me say that Link tab feature is great, thankyou @lougallo But I am missing something, when sharing a document via link sharing the "Link tab" tabs can not be seen/open (See picture) I think it will be great that it could work as well when sharing documents that way to non Onshape users. That will open a…

Uploading or adding fonts for 3D printing
I have added a font as a picture then cut it out. Problem is when extruded and 3D printed there is no "bottom" to the font. It is tedious and hard to use in the classroom. Will a variety of fonts be added to make this more creative for those who are teaching for 3D printing and not solely for drafting? It would seem an…
