Re: Mate Connector Issues w/Spacemouse

If you go into the top view, SpaceMice somtimes lock. Use the 2D Mouse and rotate the model just a bit and the SpaceMouse will catch on again.

Re: Sketch constraint along segmented curve?

You won't be able to make it "perfect", but you could create a spline approximation of your segmented curve that might be good enough?

Re: I can't make plane from circle

@MDesign Well, I was more or less referring to a generic case. I'm just working on a design that has a lot of irregularily shaped small moving parts and bearings in odd angles. Parts are too small to actually pick proper faces or have none in the right place, but all these circles (e.g. cylinder cap faces) would have midpoints.

I second @S1mon in his approach of unifying MCs and planes. Makes all sense to me.

Is there seriously no way to show the toolbar in the mobile version?

Hey, recently got a tablet and thought this might be quite usefull when i want to model in onshape but the mobile version doesnt have a toolbar. instead i have to open the dropdown menu every! single! time! when i want to do anything. Please make at least an option to let a toolbar appear. It is incredible tedious to do anything productive on the app.

Re: Polar 3D plot of simulation results

Hi Chris,

Thanks for getting back to me! As a work around, is it possible for me to plot a field that I define myself using math?

Ie something like:

ep_phi_x = -sin(atan2(z,y))*solid.eXY + cos(atan2(z,y))*solid.eXZ

If not, maybe this more general capability is something you should consider adding first. Thanks!

Re: New Video Tutorial: Power User Selection Skills for Onshape

This should be part of the standard training. The only somewhat confusing part is the bounded selections - are both bounded faces included or are they limits that aren't included? I might also demo translucent mode for selecting hidden things, as it affords slightly different opportunities than hidden edge mode.

10000% agree that create selection should even just have a "make parametric" or some such check box to make the selection update.
