Re: Why do sketches not paste in to the same cords when copied?
If you paste a sketch entity that you've copied while editing a sketch, it will place wherever your mouse cursor is and give you transformation tools to move it around. However, if you are not editing a sketch you can copy and paste in place easily with a right-click command. Please see the animation below and let me know if you have any questions:
Complimentary Bend (New Feature)
Complimentary Bend
In response to Byran Lagrange's request ,
I have created a feature that changes the bend table and drawing callout for sheet metal bends.
The feature changes the bend angle to the complimentary angle.
Just insert it before the "Finish Sheet Metal Model" feature, and select an edge from each joint.

Re: Custom Feature: Cable/Wire Routing
The "not yet" was the giveaway. It's in the works.Jonathan_Hockaday said:My ignorance is showing, but, if we can't flatten it and produce a schematic, how does one send this info to a supplier and get a harness?NeilCooke said:Not yetjahid_kalifullah said:Is it possible to do flatten the routed 3D harness model? if yes, please share the steps to do it.
Ex: I have a harness going around a roof, with several branches to lights. In the tutorial, I don't see any way a harness producer would know where to join the highlighted cable into the harness, how much it should protrude on either side, etc.
If I'm missing something, please let me know. If those feature(s) are not included, are they planned?
Re: New Custom Feature: Animate
This is amazing. So creative and manipulative in the good sense of the word.
But at the end this is very not OS to me.. It's a lot of work for something that clearly needs to be much more automated and native in it's on studio.
Looks like you guys are almost there anyway 😉.
Thanks for sharing this!
New Custom Feature: Animate
Onshape's Animate feature can only animate one mate at a time. Adding gear relations between mates can make animations more interesting, but if you need an animation showing a sequence of events, then there is no easy way to achieve this other than using the amazing (but manual) technique developed by @john_mcclary
This custom feature expands on John's method and adds a level of automation. Below is a tutorial video showing all the steps to animate a UR Cobot, from building the animation timeline to adding the relevant gear relations in the assembly. Apologies for the length of the video, but it does go into a lot of detail. Please leave any comments or suggestions below.
