Have a question? Ask the community
Early in this forum we decided to have both questions and discussions. Questions are posts in search of a specific answer that can be accepted/rejected by the post owner. A Discussion tends to be about opinion and feedback on a topic. In an effort to make this a bit simpler for those that want to ask for help, we have…

Sheet metal - how to transition from flat to curved without using multiple small bends
I have a sheet metal bracket with curves on two different planes. I cannot figure out how to do this using OnShape. What am I missing? Here's an image of the bracket. There is a sketch on a plane at the back of the bracket. I need the sheet metal formed to match that sketch and transition to the flat at A.…

Custom Feature: Dovetail Joint
I've developped a complete custom feature to help 3D printing assembly design. Dovetail Joint Created By: Nicolas Barret Link: OnShape document link A custom FeatureScript that generates male and female dovetail joints between touching solid bodies. Tailored for 3D printing assemblies, it automates the boolean cuts and…

I need help to reduce the length of a (Union of parts) but only the length
Forgive me for being new to On Shape and CAD, but I am. I have designed apart and have about six hours in it as learning On Shape as I go. I have joined all the parts into one "Union" Being new and rather ignorant, I intended to split the part (I know how to do that) and print the two separate halves on my Bambu A1. My…

Is it possible to disable the automatic "suggestions" for the merge scope of a hole?
When I add a hole, OnShape will auto-populate the merge scope of that hole. Sometimes this is useful, other times it extends the merge of the hole well beyond what I want it to be, which can be frustrating to have to delete multiple items from the merge scope list when I just want the hole to go all the way through one or…

Projected curve not visible / selectable
Hello, I wish to identify the point at which a projected curve pierces a plane. When editing the sketch on the plane to be pierced I am unable to see or select the projected curve. In fact, during any operation the projected curves only appear to be visible when selected from the feature list? The projected curves in…

Adding comments to the feature list
Happy Friday! I wanted to share a little tip that I developed in collaboration with Matt and Matt at Onshape - inspired by my 7th grade son's Onshape experience. The trick is to create a variable - type Any. The information you type into the description will show up as a tooltip. You can see here that my Variable is named…

I have a shoe for my CNC mill but would like to add a round to the narrow end
The shoe is clipped on to a CNC mill. The hole shown is where a drill passes through. The other end is connected to a vacuum hose. To reduce the volume of the shoe and improve the suction I would like to add a round to the lower narrow end that will extend into the flat surface about half way along. Any ideas of how I can…

Custom Feature: Cable/Wire Routing
Cable/Wire Routing: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3599036701247d65f0106997 There have been many wiring custom features created over the years, each using a different approach and each having different strengths, but none focused on the end-to-end process. This new set of custom features takes the best ideas from those…

We are using onshape in school. We can sign up, login, but when we try to create or open a drawing we get the following message… Onshape is not connected. Your document is saved. Refresh the browser to continue. I suspect an issue with out firewall or browser but have no idea where to look..

What can we actually build with the Onshape FeatureScript MCP Server?
We’ve been testing the new Onshape FeatureScript MCP Server and honestly, it’s been interesting to see how far it can go. 😎 Instead of asking AI to generate a complete CAD model from a text prompt, we used it to create custom Onshape Features for things we would normally have to build manually. For example, we created: An…

Ich bekomme die Gewinde nicht hin
Hello, I was actually under the impression that I had created a matching external and internal thread, but the external thread is missing in the slicer, at least.

How do I move this feature?
First off, I'm very new to Onshape, so I'm likely missing some key basic function. The image below is the bottom of a cylinder center finder I'm using from another Onshape user. I'm trying to modify it to add engraved ruler markings on the diagonal to measure diameter. Anyway, I used a "Ruler" FeatureScript by Gustavo…

Why are Drawings only accessible to one user at a time?
Onshape makes a big deal about its ability to provide simultaneous editing access to its CAD data, as it should, because it makes concurrent collaborative design possible. To my knowledge no other MCAD product has this capability, (MCAD's answer to Google Docs.) however, this capability appears to only extend to Part…

New Custom Tool : SVG to Sketch
Hey all — long-time Onshape user, wanted to share something I've been building and using in production. The problem: Getting vector artwork (logos, cutout profiles, panel designs, icons) into Onshape as real, editable sketch geometry is annoying. DXF import can be inconsistent, and manually retracing SVGs with the sketch…

Deleting a Part Studio from a shared document...
I'm setting up a class for teaching Onshape. As part of testing, I shared a document (with Edit capabilities) with my work account (I use Onshape for work). I modified one Part Studio in that document from my work account. Now, it appears the original account cannot delete that Part Studio. It is not an option in…

What is the size limit for exporting a .STEP file?
I've run into some issues exporting .STEP files of large assemblies, so I have to export smaller chunks and recombine them later. What is the size limit, and what is driving it? Is there any way to increase it?

Auto layout update request
Anyone willing to try the new capabilities to expand on auto layout to allow for nested layouts. So if you have a big cutout and there's open space in the middle, could other parts be fit inside there? As long as the interference check deems there's no interference.
