Re: Mass moment of inertia
also, you can provide a Mate connector as a reference frame for the calcs.
Re: Dimension tool
Dimensions are available while sketching and during drawing production.
In assembly the dimensions are in the mates.
Dimensions in part studios are part of mate connecters and features such as extrude length etc.
Not available for over view dimensions in part studio or assembly.
There is a measuring tool in part studio and assembly but they are not permanent unless using them to make variables when indicated.
Re: Pipe ( NPT ) Threads again
@Oliver_Couch - Here is a link to newer version, NPT tap & die models (male & female), 1/16" to 6" dia. They are to ASME B1.20.1 standards. I may add larger sizes later, but this is a start. After talking to him, I'm going to work with @EvanReese on his F.S. after Thanksgiving holiday. Tell me what you think.
Still a few minor issues to work through, to make it F.S. ready, but all configurations seem to work properly.
It is a bit tricky to get all the configurations to work, seems like there is always one problem child.
Re: To Sweep or Not to Sweep . . .
@Oliver_Couch - Send me a "DM" and I'll share some insight on solutions to those kind of problems
New Feature: Detect Symmetry
Its been a bit since I've posted any new custom features, so here's a tiny little helper: Detect Symmetry (Inspired by this discussion)
This feature detects differences in symmetrical parts. Symmetry can be across a plane or rotationally along an axis.
Differences are highlighted in red when the feature is open, and a message pops up showing the number of differences (or if none are detected).
You can check out this feature, or many other helpful features on fs.place
Re: Symmetry tool
I'm reviving an old thread, but I have made a feature to achieve this:

Re: Moving Parts in Assemblies
Those parts are not fully constrained - they have too many open "degrees of freedom". Click and drag on the parts inside of the lid, and note the movement - if they move in unpredictable ways, add more constraints until the model behaves the way you intend. Hope this helps.
Re: How to troubleshoot Sketch could not be solved (no loose ends found)?
Thank you. This morning I ended up redrawing it and got it to work, but you're right - I need to use the = constraint more. Thank you very much!
Re: Variable name as Value
You can make a configuration list for the three states (rounded, squared, chamfered) and configure the sketch so that it can have chamfers or fillets in the same sketch. Then use the configuration FeatureScript id as a variable in the Tag frames feature.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - November 22nd, 2024
I created an IR for flatten surface to be a feature… Go vote for it!
