Re: Custom properties setup in Onshape
Hello S1mon! The "important manufacturing step" is to specified steps I want to be respected to obtain the final part. By example, the finish may be "Powder coated" but some time when I want a primer or sandblast step before powder coating. Another example is about aluminum anodization, often I want a glass bead #120 treatment before anodization to obtain a very uniform finish.
Habitually this is for parts but some weld assemblies can have those properties also.
Of course this information may not need to be a "property" and sometime there are notes in the drawing if more detail is needed. But by experience, the subcontractor may not read carefully those long notes and a short list with the steps needed is appreciated. But I think this is useful in some other way :
- Easy to show those properties into the drawings, better to have it link to the part.
- Easy to send a table to the subcontractor with all the parts and the step needed to obtain rapid quote.
- Easy to filter the parts with those steps.
- Rapid to fill in bulk : because this is a property, I can edit this in BOM. Often a thumbnail is enough to write it down.
Here an example where the steps are shown into my drawings :
At this moment, we are looking to Implement an ERP and we are facing some redondance with "routing" from the ERP standpoint and those properties.
Your Idea to have SOP is a good one!
Re: Render Battle #6 - Coffee time β(Winner gets a real Prize!)

Technically GPT and Grok don't have Onshape accounts created before the battle started. However the goal is to have fun, so I'll count their votes. π
Final vote count:

This is a 2 way tie between myself and @sebastian_glanzner!
While we are on a roll of having fun, I'm not going to break the tie with likes. We'll just have to take turns wearing the hoodie. π
I'll dm you for your preferred hoodie size, color, and shipping address.

ππCongrats @sebastian_glanzner for winning your second render battle! ππ
Hey, that makes 2 for both of us now.

Thanks to everyone for participating. This was an epic render battle! I look forward to seeing you around.
Re: Need help with this wrap feature.
An Extrude will work fine. Not sure why you thought it needed a wrap?
Re: Problem with Parametric Curve FS
If #R, #E, etc. are just numbers, then don't divide them by mm. Everything inside a trig function needs to be an angle and every parameter needs to be a distance. So, something like #R * cos(#t*radian) * mm would be valid, as long as #R is dimensionless.
Re: Problem with Parametric Curve FS
I think you need things like cos(#t * radian). Also, #x / 1mm gets parsed as (#x / 1) * mm which is may not be what you want. Keep in mind though that at the end, you want to end up with distance units in all 3 variables.
Video demo: Conditional configuration lists
Hey everyone! I developed a decent workaround for working with configurations where you want to change which configuration list you're using depending on a previous selection. In my example the list of options changes depending on whether I choose Inch or Metric like this. I made a video about it here
Re: How to fully define a spline
Hey @Logan_Nguyen,
I think it might also be helpful to use the mirror feature to mirror left and right side of your sketch, they seem like you would want them symmetrical.
If you don't care about dimensionally constraining your spline but rather the shape and connection points, you can also fix it to fully define.
In most cases you would probably want it to be tangent to the curves that it connects to. Hope this helps. Cheers
