@michael_mcewen have you taken a look at ExactFlat in the AppStore?
Re: Onshape is not connected. Refresh the browser to continue working on this document? (Now Sorted)
AVAST AntiTrack is blocking the connections in the browser. This it not something that Onshape can fix.
Re: Onshape keep changing my length unit to inch
Unit preferences in "my account" are for new documents. Old documents will remember the units they were created in.
Re: That One Time Onshape Saved My Deadline—What’s Your Story?
Not so much my deadline, but i was using it with my students when lockdown happened and it made life much much simpler!
That One Time Onshape Saved My Deadline—What’s Your Story?
Onshape’s cloud collaboration tools saved my team’s project last week. We were all working remotely, and the ability to make real-time edits ensured we didn’t miss a critical client deadline. How has Onshape helped you in a pinch? Let’s discuss!
Re: Will PTC ever let the use of OnShape for makers/individuals free from any monetary concessions?
There are no plans.
Re: How to programmatically find faces which define the entry and exits for a hole?
@Caden_Armstrong That was definitely it, thanks!
In case anyone wants more info about how I did this, here's the code snippet:
// Find the faces which connect to the hole
var adjacentFaces = evaluateQuery(context, qAdjacent(cylinder, AdjacencyType.EDGE, EntityType.FACE));
// Loop over each face
for (var face in adjacentFaces) {
// Visualize the face
debug(context, face, DebugColor.MAGENTA);
}

Re: How to create this specific mate ?
Besides this is no good way to design a trigger (make servo and trigger axis parallel and you will avoid a lot of issues!), a tangent condition won't help here, simply because there is no tangency, only two edges being coincident at one point, and these are not necessarily the same two edges all the time. If we had collision detection, that'd be the way to go, but we haven't.
May I propose using a gear mate between the two rotate mates used for servo arm and trigger rotation? Moving one would rotate the other in a given ratio, then. This cannot simulate the free travel of the servo arm before it touches the trigger, of course, but maybe it could get close enough to demonstrate the action intended.
