Will the sheet metal tools be added to the mobile platform?
I see that I can edit and work with the sheet metal operations On my IPad once they are established. Will there be a way to add a new sheet metal operation on the mobile platform? Thank you, Adam Freres

Offset not working with DXF files
Hi community I have encountered some major problems designing a cookie cutter with stamp/ejector in onshape. I used a DXF file as sketch and wanted to offset the outline in the sketch to separate the cutter from the stamp/ejector. But this does not work. Any suggestions or workarounds?…

Onshape is non-reacting
I am a total newby on Onshape and trying to get things upend running. I have tried to sketch lines but after one line the system does not react anymore. A small circle appears on my screen which keeps running around. What did I do wrong ?

creating the same sketch entity on multiple points with a single function
I haven't found a way to create for example circles on multiple points that are not aligned in a predictable pattern(linear or circular). I can set points for each circle but i feel like there is or should be a way to select multiple points and create an identical sketch entity on every one. In general i would use this for…

Breaking an ICE for a duplicate part
Hi everyone, I tried looking up how to do thins, but haven't been able to think o the right search terms .... I made a model for some home renovations, which worked great for planning, but now I'm fine-tuning a part (countertop) I need to make based on actual measurements - my walls aren't square. The original model…

WHy does rib fail to generate when one end is the edge of a curve
I have tried to create a rib and if the end is coincident with the edge of a curve it fails to generate, and I would like to understand why. In the linked document I don't get why the rib through a sketch and extrusion works and the rib feature doesn't. Any pointers?…

Infill a sketch face with choice of vertical or horizontal lines
I'm creating a feature that will allow the user to query a face entity and the FS will fill in the sketch bounds with either vertical or horizontal lines. I've been looking at the HexInFill feature, but I feel that it is much more complicated than what I'm trying to do. Eventually, for each line the FS creates, I'll add a…

Issues with drawing on plane
I attached my step by step attempt to draw a plane in my parts studio. I am having lots of issues with designing in context on both sides as it wont let me create a plane whose center point is a set distance away from the plane and whose edges are equal distance from part 1 and part 2's sides. I don't know if I designed…

Does anyone have GD&T symbols already built into a google sheets?
Hello everybody, I have been searching and searching for a google sheet with GD&T symbols already built into it. I am a chromebook crusader and do not have access to a traditional tower to do the EXCEL sheet import of the .ttf files that verisurf provides. If anyone can point me in a direction of a sheet with the fonts for…

Issue with Shell when thickness is bigger than 0,03 inch
This is my public design: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/58ea84ac604d230f769d4631/w/f4d42a9b3a07d5488a1a7e7e/e/761640a13e4f517e5410db22 Look for the tab: Torso v3 When you look to Torso v3, the part looks perfect. The issue I am facing is that every time I increase the thickness of the Shell above 0.03 inch, the part…

How to reference parts across documents
Sorry I'm new to onshape so this is probably a stupid question. So I'm designing some electronics enclosures that are difference sizes. Let's say I have 3, "Small," "Medium", and "Large" Nearly all of the the sub-systems in the enclosure are the same for all sizes. So I completed the entire design of "Large Enclosure." It…

Design of a Spherical hydraulic turbine
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on the efficiency of spherical in-pipe hydraulic turbines and as a matter of fact i'm facing difficulties in modeling the turbine in 3D for CFD and FEA analysis. Can anyone help me through a tutorial or guidelines to design the turbine (attached picture) such that I can cary the airfoil…

Multiple Boolean Subtractions on Sheet Metal throws Error
I have two Boolean Subtractions I need to perform on a sheet metal part. Each in their own right work just fine. But for some reason, I get an error every time I try to do more that one subtraction. It has nothing to do with the order, and after I have done one subtraction I also can not remove material through an…

Loft "Match Curvature" fails almost every time
Anyone got the secret for using this "Match Curvature" command? This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc14A-4mw30 at 18 minutes shows a lovely matched curvature of value 2.5. All my attempts at matching this drawing fail at anything over a value of 1.2 and most fail completely. Either I'm missed the point (entirely…

Curving lines in two planes
Hey, I'm new to onshape and I'm trying to design armor to 3d print. what I'm wondering is how to make a line that curves on two different planes or if I'm going about this the wrong way. I'm trying to take this top curved line and curve it so it matches the bottom curved line, but when I move it it goes way out into the…

Workspaces not rendering properly (lines offset)
Hello, I'm having an issue with the rendering. When I open the workspace, the colours, shading and numbers and markers are drawn where they should be, but the lines of the model are offset to the right edge of the browser window. See screenshot below. I'm seeing this issue on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, on both…

Colored STL for OpenFOAM
Is there a way to export colored STL's with different parts having different colors so it can be easely used for snappyhexmesh with OpenFOAM? Can onshape do this directly or is there an app that can do this? Thanks in advance!

Sub-assemblies not updating
Hello. I am in a cold sweat and need help before I have massive buyer's remorse about buying a year of Onshape. We have an assembly with sub-assemblies in it. When I change something in the sub-assembly, it does not automatically update in the top level assembly, and I'm not even able to update it in the top-level assembly…

Extrude not recognizing my sketch
So I'm stumped. I have a sketch face that will not allow me to select entities off of to extrude. The sketch has no generation referring issues, nor red lines. I have tried copying the sketch to a different part studio, I have tried splitting it in half. Nothing allows me to extrude it or select faces to extrude. Can…

The 3d rotate lags on my mac
I use onshape on 2 computers, a 2011 MacBook pro and a 2013 iMac. When i try to use 3d rotate on the mac it lags a lot. While on my iMac there was no lag. Is there anyway to fix the lag on my computer? Thanks

Can I cycle through a set of angles of a revolute mate using a script or table (not using the mouse)
Is there a way, perhaps using FeatureScript or a spreadsheet/table, to cycle revolute mate(s) through a preset sequence of angles--for example, to check for interference in "configuration space," or to do "poor man's animation"? (I'm not using "configuration" in the same way as folks looking for parametric part generation,…

Helix inside non-conical surface - sweeping help needed for inverted auger.
I need to build an auger on the ID of a conical surface that extends beyond the ends of a cone. I have succeeded with the sweep on a cone, but the rest is beyond me at this point. I profiled a cone with extensions at either end, but now it is no longer a cone. What can I do to achieve this?

Confused how to sweep a complex curving path while staying perpendicular.
Please ignore... I erroneously posted this twice this weekend when it didn't seem to appear in the forum after a short time. Refer to: How do I sweep a complex curving path while staying perpendicular to surface? I have managed to project a spiral path onto the inside of a bowl surface. So far so good. Now I'd like to…

Trouble Deleting Constraints and then the sketch
I first want to say I have very limited experience with CAD. I was able to delete the Constraints when I first opened it. Then I exited out of the sketch. Does that finalize the sketch so I can't modify it again? If that isn't the case what else could I be doing wrong when I renter. I would select the dimension constraint…

Why won't this shell?
OK, sharing a file here, hope I do this correctly. So the question is, why can't I get this to shell? Note the suppressed detail. Unsupressing and suddenly it will shell. Any ideas?
