Re: Render Battle #6 - Coffee time ☕(Winner gets a real Prize!)
I asked my buddy ChatGPT 4.5 and he voted for #1:
I vote for image #1 (1.jpg), the coffee mug with latte art placed in a cozy and inviting café environment. The warmth, realistic lighting, composition, and overall atmosphere stand out, making it the most visually appealing and authentic render among the provided options.

Configuration Logic between tables would be massive for us.
Re: Why does Boolean subtract feature take so long to regen (nearly 10 minutes!)
Wire harness in OnShape.
I'm trying to make a wireharnes layout drawing with pinouts in OS, and I'm having some trubles.
I've been using the wiring FeatureScript (works for some of the things I'm trying to do, but not all, like flatcabel).
The main problem I have right now is that I can't figure out how to attach the pinout in a good way in the drawing. I've tried to inser views of the connectors, but I can't get it to play nice.

I'm aiming for something closer to this:

I also trying to automate it a bit with the ability to select like 5 connectors on one side and 5 on the other with points as markers, but it's a bit tricky to make it work as I want to.
Any suggestions?
Re: How can I sketch curved text?
Here's how i would do it: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/07561573f2d23cc05324bc94/w/0b277402a8e44549805887d0/e/ceab3807c24db6ae02bfcb5f
notice each term "Jan" "Tue" "31" is straight because my strings are split by spaces in the feature, but depending on what you need you could also create each individual text element with its own path (see "February" as an example).
import fonts: no.

Re: Renaissance - Big update and a new tool
Renaissance has a new tool!
Duplicate Feature
This new tool will copy any number of features from one source part studio into another - or even just the current part studio.
Useful for replicating tedious processes, reusing sections of design, or even just reorganizing.
Just note that dependencies are not checked, and selections are very likely to break and require updating after copying.
Renaissance also features a number of other improvements including additional options for find and replace, assembly export, and more!
