Ordinate Dimension in Part Studio Sketch
Re: How do I mate things so that when a rotate on one axis causes a rotate on another.
try creating a 'gear relation' between the two revolutes.
Re: How do cutting patterns which go over the model?
@dominik_panas: you are correct: it will apply that extrude time and time again. and because it calculates the feature and resulting geometry one by one, it is not the fastest loading way.
If I were you, and only if it matters, i'd actually model just one of those rombus features, use a face pattern across a rectangular block that's actually too big so all the rombusses will fit on the top face. then intersect that block with a new extrude to cut it to the final shape.
I expect that to be quite a bit faster
Re: Assembly Mates with Subassemblies are driving me crazy - what am I doing wrong??
Hi Dave,
Just stick with it, once you'll get the hang of it, it's really not that hard.
A sub assembly that is not fully constrained to itself, will also not be when loaded into a parrent assembly. It will remain loose.
when the subassembly is in the correct position internally, create that group IN the subassembly level.
the only thing that changes from the subassembly when loaded into the parent is the fix. so in the subassembly, feel free to fix one part, group the rest to it and see in the part tree that all parts are now no longer movable.
then within the parent assembly, the subassembly will behave as one fixed group of parts.
@S1mon : completely agree with your cross section issue. I sometimes load this part into the assembly and fix it to the origin:
feel free to use it..
Now with configurable size…
Re: [ANSWERED] Create lobed knob / Sweep along "wavy circle"
I would always strive to create only one section of this geometry, cutting off excess if required, and putting that in a circular pattern. that is definitely the way to go.
That way if you add a fillet to the edge, Onshape only has to calculate that once and can just copy afterwards.
perhaps a loft with a path is the way to go for spanning the gap between two 'straight' sections.
Re: Extrude and Scale at the same time?
Hello Keith.
"fill between two sketches" operation is often accomplished with the Loft tool. - Scotty
