Re: Improvements to Onshape - September 22nd, 2023
It's super nice that we can now resize the feature dialog. But why only horizontally? For the selection area we also need vertical resizing.
Re: Where is the difference between these two marking colors?
@MichaelPascoe Thanks, but I meant the difference between the filled purple radius, and the non-filled lines
Define the surface distance between two bending pockets
Is there a simple way to define the surface distance between two bending pockets if the angle is not 90°? In the following pictures, the distance between the two marked surfaces should be exactly 10.2 mm. At the moment, I am slowly adjusting the length of flange 1 until the surface distance is exactly right. This can go down to the fifth decimal place....
Of course I could build the sheet metal model differently from the beginning, but I already have some features planned in this part and no time to do it again. It would be ideal to be able to say afterwards what the distance between the two faces should be, so that the flange length calculates itself for angles above and below 90°.

How can this problem be solved? Do I have to try it out measurement by measurement to see if it fits?
Re: Define the surface distance between two bending pockets
Yeah I know I can use this, but I don't want to rebuild the part

Re: Error: "Should be unreachable!"
@MBartlett21 Yes it worked with the newer Version V0.4.1 Thank you!
Re: Error: "Should be unreachable!"
We are currently using V0.4.1 . I will check the new version. Thank you!
Re: Error: "Should be unreachable!"
It looks like you are using an older version, possible not from the original document. That error message is now a warning that you haven't selected a sheet metal part.
This could be to do with 'recent' changes to how Onshape's sheet metal works internally (i.e. the new corner break stuff, holes, etc.).
