Custom BOM showing only some parts of an assembly
Is there a way to generate a custom BOM on a top level assembly that only shows parts with a certain property? For context, I am trying to create drawings of top level assemblies that may contain 50-100 parts, some of which are inside of sub assemblies, and on these drawings there would be a BOM showing only those parts…

BOM sorting with unexpected results
I have a flattened BOM with everything sorted by the Part Number column from smallest to largest. Some of the parts, mostly Standard Content fasteners, do not have a part number assigned and they show up empty in the BOM as expected. However, when I sort by part number, some of the empty cells are at the top, and the rest…

How to get URDF export to include composite parts?
I have a cart assembly which I'd like to export as a URDF. Most of the parts are imported from the extrusion-maker's STEP files. I imported some of the complex components, like the wheels/casters on the bottom, as composite parts. My assembly just mates many of these composite parts + assorted other parts. But these…

What causes "loose" endpoints in a silhouette edge?
Draw a circle in the top plane and extrude a cylinder. Create a sketch on the front plane and view normal to the sketch plane. Use the "use" tool to create a silhouette edge on the side of the cylinder. The sketch is not fully defined. In the sketch diagnostics tools, the endpoints of the silhouette edge are considered…

Batch Engraving Different Logos on the Same Part
Hi everyone, I’m working on a project where I need to engrave the same box divider part with multiple different logos. The goal is to create identical parts, each with a different logo applied. All the logos have the same bounding dimensions, and their placement on the part will be consistent. Is there a way to automate…

Using the hole table in a drawing of a composite part
I am currently drawing up plans for a new balcony, which includes drawings of two composite parts that also have a number of holes in them. In order to keep the drawing somewhat tidy, I'd like to use a hole table, however it seems like this is not possible with composite parts(?). In the part studio, all the holes are…

Feature pattern with relative positions
Hi, I wondered if something like this is possible: say you have a "linear" pattern, but instead of setting the distance (and direction), I can simply select a face or mate connector where that same feature should be applied. Maybe even a list. To give an idea, in following part studio, in folder "Elastiek houders", I have…

Why can't I delete an imported DXF?
I'm playing around with creating my own document template, following the procedure in Best Practices for Creating Onshape Drawing Templates - Onshape Learning Center. An imported DXF appears as a tab at the bottom of the document, like a part or drawing would. This is the only type of tab I've seen that does not have a…

Refactoring - seeing which sketch parts do not get used
I found myself doing refactoring of a model (picture below) and came up with this idea. What if there was a way, within the sketch editor, to highlight the elements that are not used anywhere downstream. In this particular case, if I suppress the sketch entirely, some steps break way later. It will take me time and effort…

Query based on "direction" or relative angle from reference selection?
I'll preface this by saying I think we should have a mega-thread where people can ask "how do I write a query variable for this"… I've been making some configurable designs that use hexagons (bestagons) and have run into this a few times: I want to get the faces (actual faces of extruded bodies and polygon faces) that…

For a composite part in a part studio, how can I find the feature that created that part?
Hello Onshapers, For a composite part in a part studio created by a Composite part feature (vs derived), how can I find that feature that created it? I would expect cross-highlighting between the feature list and parts list, but that doesn't happen for composite parts. With sufficient discipline, when creating a composite…

Mates that should in theory follow a center path
