Re: Working with imported step file
Went to a car show last summer and saw some original Austin Minis. I don't think you need to scale it. It should fit on your desk at full size.😜 Had forgotten how tiny they were.
It would help to post a link to your document for review if you can.
Re: How to use the API to execute a FeatureScript to create a custom feature?
It's not clear to me why you need the API for this. I don't think it's an issue with your FeatureScript code (though you may want to rename it from "filletEverything")
I did my own test and got it working. Here's the FeatureScript and API body I used with glassworks.
FeatureScript
FeatureScript 2581;
import(path : "onshape/std/common.fs", version : "2581.0");
annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Add a plane", "Feature Type Description" : "" }
export const addPlane = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
precondition
{
// Define the parameters of the feature type
}
{
opPlane(context, id + "plane1", {
"plane" : plane(vector(0, 0, 6) * inch, vector(0, 0, 1))
});
});

Re: Animation

....The final scene shows the handy contraption that makes the impossible possible. I suggest we call this the 'McClary Engine' in honor of its inventor, John McClary.Thanks @john_mcclary !....
Love it.... hence forth to be known as the McClary Engine... at least in my vernacular!!! Also fabulous animation!
Assembly Planes - Where are they?
Re: CAM Studio
Can you consider adding Cam Studio to the free version???
Even it is a cut down version.
thanks Eddie Flemming
Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 31st, 2025
Simple question I hope that @michael3424 brought up.
Is custom post processor something that is being considered so we may accomodate our own machines?
Cosmo Spacely would be proud
Had a little bit of a challenge designing a custom sprocket for a larger than standard chain pitch. I am amazed at how easy it was to do in Onshape. The variable table only has three values that are manipulated and the rest are equations to control the size and the tooth form. Switching between all of the options made this a breeze and was much easier than doing it in other CAD programs. I can honestly say that getting an Onshape license was probably the best thing I could have done for my career, and my appreciation for it grows every day.
