Re: Toy coaster track
@kohinoor_basu I've led you astray. My apologies. @glen_dewsbury has helped me see the light. Profile direction lock with the front plane as the lock was the solution. I didn't quite have a grasp on how those locks worked yet. They don't come up much in the stuff I work on. Also I see you've been playing with lofts with paths. You don't need a different loft with each segment of the path. that's a lot of extra sketches. just a profile at the start and the end. and pick all the segments in between for the path. Much like the sweep with one profile.

Re: Toy coaster track
My 2c worth. I like the sweep since it only needs 1 profile sketch with lock profile direction as Greg noted.
This one has a fairly simple pattern but I can see where complexity could build for sweep path on a busier track.
Re: I have this error code, e529cda6f0863ba27d51ea0d can someone tell me what it means?
Doesn't mean anything useful outside of support. Surprised to see an error on such a simple Document. Make a copy of the Document and work on that instead - should remove the error, or report a bug.
Re: Onshapers or Onshapists
Northern Hemisphere are "ers" and Southern Hemisphere are "ist". Equator you are "erist". 😂
Onshapers or Onshapists
@MichaelPascoe raised this important issue in another post (linked below), but i think it needs some serious consideration!
Are we ers or ists?
Re: The Perfect Mouse for CAD
My current weapon of choice. It's a good all rounder. Scrolling by twisting the ball, sounds cool on paper, in reality it's naff in practice. And it has audio index clicking as you twist the ball. So not co-worker friendly. Would be better to have a scroll wheel on the side.
If I could build the perfect user input device it would borrow the best from:
The primary click from a joystick like this. Nothing beats a good mechanical switch with haptic feedback. When your finger is relaxed it's away from the button so reduces accidental clicking.
The curse movement from this mouse. This was my first finger trackball mouse. And it can be modified to have different balls the big ball rolls on. I did this mod and it made it the best trackball so far. BTW: The side thumb clicking is the default, that I didn't like at first so I programmed the R and Fn3 buttons as the left and right respectively. Now that I've gotten use to the thumb movement, the default button isn't so bad after all. In some apps this mouse seemed to have a 3D rotation. Was in some pre print software. No idea how that happened.
The scroll action and back and forward buttons from this mouse.
That's how it will look. 😂
