@Jason_S Certainly from a modeling perspective being able to add a flange along a variable curvature edge would be a huge step forward as long as the resulting non-developable features can still be flattened. Being able to flatten it is the key concern with a flange feature like this.

For desktop, look at Sherline or Taig lathes and mills with CNC upgrades. For a little larger machines look at Tormach or Syil. There are also numerous CNC routers if yu want to do wood and softer metals, like aluminum.

Re: Associate a file to an ITEM?

I created a ticket for @Otto_DeRuntz but wanted to post here what I told Otto in the ticket:

We don't have a way yet to directly attach/associate data in tabs you have imported to parts/assemblies/drawings/non geometric items. I'm placing you on the improvement for that. As others have mentioned, you might create a custom property and put the URL for the data in the tab those parts/assemblies/drawings/non geometric items can refer to.

This is a general need/ability in most PDM systems - to create relationships between data that are not necessarily the same as the CAD relationships that the system maintains automatically for you.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 31st, 2025

Love the new additions but I'm struggling on the Sheet Metal Forming tools related to Louvers. It seems that they have a default orientation and rotating or changing them requires a mate connector as the reference instead of sketch vertices. Is there something I am missing? Having to set a mate connector to rotate it seems a bit silly when there could be something directly in the feature to select a sketch line for orientation.
