Re: How to add a 1 mm deep slot in this inside offset around the whole piece

https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/120305#Comment_120305

I believe the op is asking for a cut that follows the perimeter and not a full area extrude. You should use thin more often, might save some sketch time.

@pedro_carrizo I believe you mentioned a rounded slot so you'd have to build on martin's suggestion with a full round fillet to get the bottom of the slot rounded. You can also get there with a sweep profile and your path.

Re: Custom Features Collection

as an experiment, I added @MichaelPascoe to a notion database with tags just to see if it was feasible. But I think FS.Place may be the better option for now.

Extrude into the material with the options "thin" and "remove" with a value of 1mm each.

@martin_kopplow what's the advantage using thin here and not just a solid remove? I don't really use thin. Maybe I should?

Re: Work with Trackpad on MacBook?

Trackpad isn't ideal (on any laptop) but with a little practice it works for small tasks on the go. I recommend a space mouse. There are compact wireless mobile types available.

One way to move the model is the arrow keys to rotate and pan. Arrow alone makes small rotaing moves. Shift-Arrow makes larger moves, CTRL-Arrow makes super small moves. CTRL-SHIFT-Arrow pans. Zoom should be rather easy on the track pad.

Re: New Custom Feature: EZ Wire

https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/120297#Comment_120297

ive rewritten it several times today, but it's stable now, though only for edges at the moment. I need to add back in axes from circles and arcs. And work on the UI, which is not quite where I want it.
