Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 10th, 2025
@ilya_baran I've had a chance to use configuration visibility now, like the others have already said more logic would go a long way.
Adding and/or options, range setups, or inclusive search/sort would be even more valuable.
We'd like to set up clearance model assemblies that start from a large pick list. Then sort down based on brand, length, or other attributes and options. Multiple filter options could be chosen to narrow down options or kept broad. Most shopping websites have this sort of filter. Men's or women's, clothing type; tops/bottoms/jackets/base layer/outerwear, size, color etc. Its important it allows multiple selection per category.
The link Michael Pascoe shares a link to an improvement request with more examples. I'm glad to see this one come to fruition, configuration publisher in SolidWorks was something I had used with in a previous role. It had some shortcomings but was useful. I think Onshape has a chance to knock it out of the park.
Thank you

Is there a way to add variable studios to configurations? Or is this feature yet to be implemented
I want to have different configurations of the variable studio, which affects all parts in the document. Currently, we can only add local variables to a configuration table, which only affects that part.

Re: Untrim?
I had the intention to create a feature like this and first had a look if someone else hadn't created it yet.
I stumbled upon this thread and used a little of the code as inspiration. thanks @Jacob_Corder
I decided to include 'approximate' as an option because the underlying precise bSpline data is also available and will also allow untrimming a bigger outside boundary
its far from complete in error-proofing, debug options, feedback etc, so not worth publishing yet, but i thought i'd share it here anyway:
for other surfaceTypes than bSpline surfaces, the code would need to use other create functions.
for some those are available, (like sphere), but not for all. so I'm not sure if that is going to work out to allow recreation without approximation. Moreover trimming to the outer boundary is going to be tricky i think (for the 'inner loop only' option.
Re: Why I cannot give dimension to a circle?
That sounds exactly what we need, will check that out next time 👍️
EDIT
Next time could not wait, tried it immediately and it is fantastic! Do follow the instruction video though, struggling through takes a bit more time 😆
Re: Render Studio
I had assumed my colleague had a Pro license but unfortunately it is only a standard version
Thank you for you help

Re: Cut List (New Custom Feature!)
Hey @joe_fisher391, glad you like it! 😎 These ideas were simple yet important enough that I went ahead and pushed an update to support some new functionality. As far as the rounding goes, try changing the Round table values to 0.0625 in. This will help ensure you don't get 80/256.
Update!
Measure cut list - Custom feature
- Use part names (STATIC): Uses the part name of the first part in each entities selection as the table id value. NOTE: Part names will not auto update due to the way FeatureScript works; you will have to manually open the feature and press the circular update button.
- Map longest to: Maps the longest measurement of the part to the specified column in the table.
- Map shortest to: Maps the shortest measurement of the part to the specified column in the table.
