Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
Our software uses the desktop CAD industry standard license check method of "vibes". Upon startup, the Onshape Desktop Client will decide if its "feeling it" or not. While we are seeing a 10% failure rate, this does appear to be an improvement over competitors in the space.
Re: ThreadLab - Internal/External Modeled/Cosmetic Threads with External Thread Callouts
Hi, I'm a real noob with onshape but learning something different each time. I am very fond of ThreadLab as it is a no fuss way of creating threads for 3D printing, but one thing I would like to get clarification on. On designing a nut I can only put the chamfer on one side of the nut and would like to have a chamfer on both sides. Is it possible to achieve this in ThreadLab? Thanks for any help and appreciate your work on this.
Regards Geoff
Re: Bring on the SubD!!!
It would be great to do organic modeling in Onshape with sub-d modeling. Is there any update on Onhshape incorporating sub-d modeling? Phi3D does not have sub-d modeling so I'm having to incorporate Fusion360 or Blender into my workflow. @NeilCooke @joe_dunne
Re: OP revolve constantly failing in onshape feature script
in the example below I added a line segment to the sketch.
edited the ellipse radii to be bodyHeight / 2
(because it's a radius, your body was twice the intended height).
and added a qNthElement to the query for the face to revolve and it works fine.
also check out the // commented lines to check what tests I did along the way to check my work while building the featurescript. I've gotten into the habbit of checking such steps in between to understand what the code is generating before I move on.
Re: Measurement and Dimensioning Different
Thank you very much! This fixed my problem :)
What was the distance I dimensioned before? The midpoints of the arc are the max distance apart at two opposing arcs or not?
Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
@Caden_Armstrong What about the license server? How should I install it?
Re: Introducing - The Onshape Desktop Client
Onshape Desktop Client Connected Cloud+ is coming eventually, but a subscription for it will be included with all limited-time perpetual licenses of the Onshape Desktop client.

The key is to really lower your standards.
Re: Distorted, exaggerate perspective view is a deal breaker!
Another Industrial Designer here. I have also noticed the perspective not being ideal for all product sizes, but sure not to the extend that would justify Rhino … ;0)
I have had complaints only when showing stuff on a real wide aspect monitor. The distortion comes most prominent at the outer left and right edges on these, when the zoom is about adequate for the center. That is why I have a large, but more traditional aspect ratio display. It's okay there.
In Render Studio, the angle of view can be adjusted, so for renderings, it is not much of an issue.
