# Connect Onshape

Connect your Onshape account to work with your Onshape documents from Adam on the web.

You can also add Adam inside Onshape so it knows which document you are viewing and what you have selected.

## Connect your account

**Open Onshape in Integrations**
In Adam, select **Integrations**, search for **Onshape**, and open the connection.
**Connect your account**
Select **Connect**. Sign in to Onshape if needed, review the requested access, and approve the connection.
**Confirm the connection**
Return to Adam and verify Onshape appears under **Connected**.

Adam can work with documents, Part Studios, assemblies, and drawings that your Onshape account can access.

## Add Adam inside Onshape

Install Adam from the [Onshape App Store](https://cad.onshape.com/appstore/apps/Design%20%26%20Documentation/690a8dc864e816c112aa66a0), then open it from an Onshape document and sign in with the same Adam account.

Use the extension when you want to work with Adam without leaving Onshape. Tasks you start there are also available in the Adam web app.

**Web connection**
Best for starting Onshape work from Adam on the web. Onshape does not need to remain open for the account connection to be usable.
**Onshape extension**
Best for starting work from inside Onshape. Keep the Onshape tab open while Adam works with the document.

## Try an engineering workflow

Start with [CAD modeling](/cad/modeling) to create or change a part, [Engineering drawings](/cad/drawings) to prepare a drawing, or [Drawing review](/cad/drawing-review) to inspect an existing one. Include the document link, workspace or version, element, and configuration when they matter to the request.

For a drawing update, check the intended source revision before refreshing its references, then review dimensions and the exported PDF again.

## Disconnect Onshape

Open **Integrations** → **Connected**, select Onshape, and disconnect the account. You can also revoke Adam from your Onshape account settings.

## If connection fails

- Allow the Onshape sign-in pop-up and retry from the Onshape integration card.
- Confirm you connected the intended Onshape account and Adam team.
- If Adam can open Onshape but not a document, check that account's document permission.
- If the extension cannot see your document or selection, reload the Onshape tab and sign in again.
