FeatureScript beginner questions
Hi! I am just starting to dive into FeatureScript and have a few beginner questions. Quick background: I am a hobbyist OnShape user, experienced software developer but brand new to FeatureScript. I watched the (very good!) videos in the FeatureScrip Fundaments course, but haven't written anything yet. My motivation for… -
Constructing a Part in a Part Studio using DXFs
Hello All, I am trying to build a configurator inside featurescript that will build an aluminium door (from our product line). Some parts, such as the top bars and skins of the door can be created from standard geometry such as the cuboid command, and a host of other commands such as extrude etc. However, other parts are… -
Want to iterate through every possible configuration and then export it. (Via API or featurescript)
I'm looking for featurescript or api code that can iterate through every possible configuration in an Assembly and export all the parts. Is it possible? I already have featurescript that will name the parts on a human readable scheme, so they will have unique names as their properties change. Therefore the filenames won't… -

Adding "notches" to sketches, similar to apparel patternmaking
Hello, I'm trying to brow beat some patternmaking CAD (Gerber Accumark, StyleCAD, TukaTech etc) functionality into OnShape. Specifically - seam allowances and notches. I've been working on some tent designs and adjusting the model and sketches parametrically and with variables has been great. Offset works brilliantly on… -
Scaling
SCALING —— In another discussion, Neil mentioned that he hadn’t seen this before, so I thought, maybe some other people would be interested IF YOU NEED TO SCALE A SKETCH, THIS METHOD MIGHT WORK FOR YOU — So when you place your first dimension in a sketch, the whole sketch can scale up or down. But after placing that first… -
Assembly Config Questions.
Hi folks.A couple of numpty questions, if I may, before digging in a bit further.(Q1) Is this assumption correct? "We can't currently configure which parts to bring into an assembly, so the correct method today is to bring in all the options and suppress the bits we don't want."Example:-Hypothetical electronics product… -
Re: One document or many?
I still struggle with this question after having spent a fair amount of time with Onshape. Some thoughts: * 100% agree with @tim_hess * If a subassembly will be reused in another project, it probably wants to be in its own document (maybe not from day 1, but long term). * Off the shelf stuff definitely wants to be in… -
Re: Configurations and in-context updates
In the example above it is all in sketch1 and there are no extra features required... Adding configurations to the part and a second context does seem like a bit of extra work in a really simple example like this but the tradeoff is that it is "stable" and won't just rebuild in unexpected way, which gets more important as… -
Mate Connectors Need Some Love
I've become more and more dependent on Multi Mate Connector from @konstantin_shiriazdanov. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be active and maintaining it any more. MMC is great for adding MCs to a bunch of parts all at the same place, and it also has some features to allow mate connectors to be placed in locations which…
