Re: making a female part over a male part with a tolerance
Boolean subtract with an offset.
I absolutely love Onshape!
After 20 years working with Architectural cad, working in Onshape is so enjoyable. I have projects in both architectural and mechanical. Onshape is not for architecture and that is ok. When I spend a few weeks on a mechanical project in Onshape then move on to an architectural project in my Architectural CAD. I immediately start hitting brick walls, crashes, broken links, etc. This is so profound and I never noticed this pain before as one gets used to it. The result of that experience is that now I have been moving my business to take on less or zero architecture inorder to take on more mechanical work just so I can work in Onshape.
The difference between old CAD paradigms and the new Onshape paradigm is just that great.
Re: I am so done with this...
What is the goal of the Robotics program at the school? I'm assuming at is core it would be to prepare the students for industry and engineering careers… I would agree with you Onshape is more of a professional tool than Fusion, so I would way it's worth both the additional cost and the additional learning curve.

Look not sure if it's just placebo effect but I'm deffinitally noticing a significant boost in processing speed while working. Loving the snappy feel

Re: Gear Lab - Cylindrical, Bevel, Face Gears
Thanks for the amazing script. I'm not sure if i am missing something or if this is an actual issue, but i am unable to rename the features created by this script, which means that any parts that have dependencies are lost when a gear is edited. is there a work around to this or is it not possible in the current version?
Thanks
Dan
Re: Select entity for extrusion via API
For anyone who has found this thread in the future (Like I just did),
You can use transient ids in the queryString, its just a small little change from what I was trying.
"queryString": "query = qTransient(\"JHD\");"
The other thing to note is that this only works on certain api versions, so doing /api/partstudios… might not work,
but /api/v6/partstudios does.
Re: Anyone know how to get part studio configuration variables via the API?
In the documentation its this endpoint:
https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer/#/Element/getConfiguration
I don't use the python client, but its probably under some kind of elements_api instead of part_studios.
