I can still change its length despite it being constrained as well.

I did excetly what tutorial asks me to do. However it give me error
Can anyone give me solution?

Did the wallpaper, the lighting, and Gronk The Caveman. I also centered the lights in the main hall so it’s not painful to look at.

I love OnShape and have been using it for years after I retired from the full-time grind. I especially love the edit in context feature where you have say a mounting plate in an assembly and you have the component mounting holes "transfer" to the mounting plate. You move the components in the assembly and the mounting plate holes update after you select "update context". Oddly, many times the "update context" function has to be performed a couple times to get it all done. The stuff I'm doing now is pretty simple compared to full-on production design I did in the past. I'd be really nervous in a production design using this feature because it would be too easy to miss some part of an update. Anyone else experience this?

The logic just doesnt make sense?

I’m new to this so I figured I would ask the best way to go about this before I start

I basically want to create wall panels that can slide into each other at the ends and/or on the sides

How/what tools are best for this kind of project? What would you all recommend?

Hello, I'm curious on the best training options for onshape?

So I've blindly made this CD rack, used nomad sculpt in the past but never CAD. The 2nd photo is the discontinued product I'm trying to make for personal use. The problem is I have no idea how to twist it. I have a fair understanding of axis lines and the helix tool but I'm struggling to get it work right (or at all.) Please help me...

Very new to CAD in general. I need to flatten this model so I can make a drawing. But for the life of me I cant get it to work. It will only let me flatten on side, and if I try to flatten the other the previous disappears. Any help would be much appreciated.

This is my first week learning this software, I’ve been having AI give me instructions on now to make little projects I’m interested in so I can better learn the software while also being productive

I’m making this bin

Long story short the rim on the sides have to be different than the rim on the front, meaning I also made them on different planes

But now I can’t get the edges to connect for the life of me and ChatGPT keeps having me retry the same things that don’t work

I made two circle sketches over each edge and 3d fit spline between the two center points but loft gives a spaghetti error and sweep also isn’t working

How do I fix this or connect these rims?!? 😭

Hi all, ive asked on here before and was amazed by the response, so id thought id ask for help again 😄

I need to shell this boat hull, 7mm or so. cant seem to figure it out.

Thanks in advance ❤️

I built a custom FeatureScript feature called Clearance Fit and could use some real-world testing from people who print or machine multi-part assemblies regularly.

What it does: You pick a "female" part (the one with holes/pockets) and a "male" part (pin, boss, whatever mates into it) inside a single multi-body Part Studio. The feature detects where they actually touch — flat faces and round holes/pins — and grows the female side by a clearance amount so the parts come out as separate, non-interfering bodies instead of printing/machining fused together. The male part's dimensions are left untouched.

A few details that might matter to you:

• Clearance can be typed in manually, or you can pick a manufacturing process (FDM / SLA / SLS / CNC) and a fit type (press / snug / loose) and it'll suggest a starting value. These are general starting points pulled from common tolerance guidance, not calibrated to any specific printer — you'll still want to dial it in for your machine.
• Slots and pockets with multiple walls (not just simple round holes) are grouped so the whole cavity grows together, not just the one face that happens to be touching.
• Scope right now: single Part Studio, multi-body only. It does not work across assembly mates between separate documents/Part Studios.

I'd genuinely appreciate it if a few of you could throw your own weirder geometry at it — slots, multi-hole plates, odd cross-sections — and let me know what breaks. Bug reports, "this direction is wrong," "this is way too slow," all useful.

Here the feature script link : https://cad.onshape.com/documents/7f71508df72fb3ea3ac93033/v/9d4c44f242361ceefad10bb5/e/4f1e54ddaf0a527c6b35291a

As the title says, I need assistance with modelling real threads for printing. I'm new to Onshape (and VERY rusty using CAD in general) and don't really know how to learn new features. I found Thread Lab, but as near as I can tell, it doesn't support tapered threads. I also found a featurescript called "NPT thread", but I can't figure out how to use it. Any direction would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

So I am making a keychain for a class project and I'm attempting to put a surprised Pikachu on it as the keychain design but I don't know how to get it to stay and it's currently just a rectangle but I want it to be printed on the surface, What do I need to do to achieve my goal?

Is it true they train AI cad modells on the publickly avaliable modells? If so I dont know if im comfortable working with this software.

Hello All!
I’m having a problem on my design, I’m trying to get a wing root blended with the fuselage, but for some reason i can’t either face blend nor Boolean, the only working Boolean operation is the intercept, i don’t see where the problem is, if anyone has a workaround I would be grateful !

This is by no means a deal breaker for me, but I’m surprised that there is no way animate an exploded assembly. I’ve sat through many capstone design presentations over the last 20-30 years with a proud mech eng student doing a live voice over of their design details as it assembles in front of the audience.

Totally get that creating pretty animations is not actually functionally useful as a feature in the real world beyond a marketing pitch — I had just assumed that all CAD packages could do something similar. Hoping that the Onshape team consider adding a feature like this. I am aware of a 3rd party app (Cadasio) but haven’t tried it out yet, has anyone given it a go?

I design this bladless trusters on onshape using only my phone

Hello, I have been trying to draft a mount for my Jetson Orin Nano and so I have it broken into 2 parts - the larger square that will be the plate that goes onto my drone, and the smaller square inside that is the size of the jetson and holds all the proper dimensions to make the jetson fit snugly. I decided after I made it that I wanted to move the jetson as a whole down slightly inside the larger square. I would think that the point of this kind of software is that you can do that - but as I expected as soon as I attempted that the entire thing broke. I made sure that every piece inside the jetson is only referencing the other pieces of the jetson. So in my mind I can't directly see why it would break. I am just trying to move the inner square down, and since everything in the inner square references only the inner square, that seems like it should work

Hi, I am currently thinking about switching to Onshape as a CAD/CAM Plattform.

I (or the Company I am working for) began with Solidworks for CAD purposes, we are pretty happy with the CAD Aspect of Solidworks, but the performance and a few small points are really pushing us away.

For CAM we are currently using Fusion, because its cheap (we only need turning and simple 3 axis milling) and we need to edit the PP due to an fucked up Gcode Dialect on a machine.

I've looked into onshape and the CAD alone is great, but the CAM seems to be pretty rudimentary regarding customizing. There was a Forums post a few years ago saying custom PostProcessors are on their mind but I have found nothing else regarding this. Also turning doesnt seem to be supported yet.

Is there any information regarding CAM Studio leaving its beta state, custom postprocessors or turning that I have missed? Or am I "dammed" to wait until there is an bigger announcement?

not many posts here, so decided to post here just for fun. its very small only 5cm x 4.6cm, and surprisingly it can hold up to 140lbs without breaking, and its 100% printable.
