Re: Onshape and 3D mouses
That was a very reasonable position, now we are 6 months later, are the drivers arrived or was it a joke?nav said:Hi @matias_ares I got this reply from dave_c from OS regarding 3D Connexion MAC OS support. I wrote them as suggested by Dave. My 3D mouse is in a drawer right now...
@nav Support for the 3D mouse in browsers on Macs requires implementation by 3D Connexion. Onshape is platform independent - so when that support is provided, Onshape will work with it. As Onshape is the first and only production CAD system that runs directly in browsers, 3D Connexion needed to develop new drivers. 3D Connexion was very pro-active in working with Onshape to both develop and beta test the Windows driver over the past several months - resulting in today's release. They chose to provide support first for browsers on Windows as that is by far their largest market and are actively considering developing drivers for browsers on Mac. We will forward your request to them and feel free to contact them directly with your request as well.
Re: Every time I visit the onshape website I need to log in again. Is there a "remember me" option?
@Paulo saving passwords and keeping OnShape signed in wouldn't "compromise security" on my system, and that's my point. If you build a one-size-fits-all solution for security, then you have to make it as strict as possible, which is what they've done. What I'm suggesting is that this results in bad UX for people who don't need or want that level of security. I'm sure there's a way to both make this an option for individuals, and at an organisation level.
If this isn't a concern for you, then your input on the matter is not required.

Re: Extruding a taper.
Thank you all for your suggestions, Being I'm just learning Onshape, I'm going to attempt all methods. Excellent practice for sure. Thanks,

Re: Help! I cant seem to find out how to modify an ellipse how I want
At a wild guess there is only one ellipse here, and it is the construction geom. It is being used to place the ends of a spline, whose handles are dimensioned and also constrained to be vertical or horizonal, respectively. There is initially only one spline but it is then mirrored to create the four… These four splines were then offset by 10mm.
There are a million other possibilities, this is one. For instance, the ellipse is only being used to define the major/minor axes dimensions - you could do it by directly dimensioing the spline endpoints. But perhaps the original user was referencing an already existing ellipse.
Re: Trying to emulate an organic shaped Harley Davidson rockerbox for 3d printing
Back in the days, the plugs for casting these parts have most probably been shaped by hand. You'll need to use surface modelling for this. There are comprehensive tutorials on the topic in the Onshape learning section. I'm afarid you'll have to work through at least some of them. It doesn't come much cheaper.
Re: Extruding a taper.
Here is one way to accomplish what you're looking for. Had to play around a bit to make it work. OS sees the fillets as folding over themselves or something as I tried to thicken. I cut a hole in the middle to adjust variable fillet ends.
