3D Sketching??
I wanted to know if there is a tool in Onshape that allows you to do 3D Sketching, such as in Solidworks you can use the 3D Sketch tool to draw lines in the Z direction/axis ??
Re: How do I remove connected app (realityserver) now that it is no longer in the app store?
I was able to have it removed by customer support.
Re: NO TRIAD MANIPULATOR
@awais_yousaf132 if you temporarily "fix" a part/subassembly and then select from the instance list, the triad won't show.
Re: Using debug(context,...) with id
You need to make a query for the id of the feature in question:
e.g. debug(context, qCreatedBy(id + "extrude1", EntityType.BODY), DebugColor.MAGENTA);
From the FeatureScript docs:
Re: Struggling with Parametric curve!
@GregBrown : I found the latest version (V14) and it now works. Thank you for this….
Re: Custom Features Collection
I think we already have a huge collection of scripts. what needs to be done are:
1. allowing users to find scripts. this can be done by adding tags and properties which are searchable and sortable. I have my list in Notion currently and tbh, it could be a great platform for the job, as you can create databases with columns, and datatypes of all kinds to help sort and filter. But the job of assigning properties and tags will be some work. but once done, the page will be "live" and update instantly with additions, rather than a static pdf
2. helping people understand the scripts they find. this should be done by the authors (when possible) and should include one or more of description, instructions, screenshots, video
Re: Custom Features Collection
I've created a feature store - fs.place, and while I've proven the concept, and even made money selling features, its been difficult getting traction from other developers to add to the store. The challenge is that everyone has their own ideas on what "searching public features" should entail. There are git hub repos, private lists, excel sheets, and …pdfs. No matter what resource exists, it will always be incomplete. New developers need to know which resources are being maintained, used, and are worth contributing to. But many of the most used features are from developers who might not be in the community anymore (ex, a lot of student written features), don't have the time to add to every new database out there, or just aren't incentivized.
fs.place is a fully functional marketplace, checks all the boxes people are listing.
But its always going to be lacking due to the above reasons - only Onshape making an official one is going to see any improvements.
I personally look forward to being able to shut down fs.place because Onshape made it obsolete.
But until then…
Re: Help with mating options
If the short piece if meant to be centered on the notch, you just need one fastened mate between the center face of the bottom of the notch and the middle of the short piece.
Using multiple planar mates to locate a par is almost never the "correct" way of doing it in Onshape.
