Re: Easy method for exporting sheet metal flat pattern to STEP file?

I also have my own Extract Flat FS

Re: New Custom Feature: Point Overcut

@EvanReese, done.

Re: New Custom Feature: Point Overcut

Nicely done! Seems to fill a similar niche to the Corner Overcut feature. I like your previews on this one. I've noticed for debugs the native features usually use red for issues and magenta for informational things. So instead of addDebugPoint(context, center) you could use addDebugPoint(context, center, DebugColor.MAGENTA)to be more in line with the native toolset.

Re: The one thing I HATE about OnShape.

I've run Onshape perfectly fine using my phone as an internet hotspot.

Re: The one thing I HATE about OnShape.

Looks like I can hotspot off my wife's mobile plan as a temp measure for a nice add on fee. Learning way more about mobile data than I want to.

Environment profile

Every time I log into Onshape, I find the environment profile settings set to the default profile, even though it was previously set to a custom profile, named Firefox with the match pixel density turned on.

Is this something on my side or is it intended to behave like that?

Re: Help duplicating a sketch on another plane

Also for future reference, the box should have been drawn centered perfectly about the Front and Right plane, rather than the corner of the box like it is now. This allows you to use the default planes for symetrical constraints within sketcher, and for mirroring features outside of sketcher. It's a fundamental CAD concept and comes in super handy.

Re: Why is inserting a view of a configured assembly instance into a drawing not possible?

Hi StephenG,
If you have set up configurations, you should get an insert view dialogue like this. Could you share what you see?

Re: Easy method for exporting sheet metal flat pattern to STEP file?

Are you cutting the flat patterns yourself? On a laser machine? DXF is what is mostly used for flat patterns in industry, not STEP. And any laser/waterjet machine will accept dxf. If you are instead sending the parts to a sheetmetal vendor, then you would send them a STEP of the fully bent part.

Re: How to Reference Individual Sketch Entities

Rectangles aren't a single body, they are actually just 4 line segments that are constrainted.
So FeatureScript is creating 4 bodies with id "sketchsegmentid+left/right/top/bottom". So you need to reference each rectangle side individually.

Here is an example.
