Re: Why is inserting a view of a configured assembly instance into a drawing not possible?

Each tab has its configuration. This means that if a configured part is inserted in an assembly and this installed part is also to be configured, a configuration must be created in the assembly tab.

All releases (and versions) are read-only. The thing that trips people up is that onshape automatically creates a new workspace for editing (whereas that would be a manual thing in windchill). No matter what you do in the workspace, previously created versions and released items will always be available with permanent links.

I admit its a little weird and seems to be a "design work" focused default arrangement, whereas I can see in many situations you want users to have a "retrieve released data" default arrangement.

I'm hoping that onshape will work on something, even if its something like a "view only" interface, or a way to automatically open the latest version/revision of a document rather than the most recent workspace.

Re: Boolean Boss Battle

That… worked… thank you!

Though I'm perplexed, because the INITIAL thing that I tried (before the above approach) was to create the outer surface and then thicken it, but it errored out / didn't want to thicken.

And yet, take the same outer surface, build a flat-bottomed-plug onto it's bottom, and it shells just fine.

I thought thickening and shelling were fundamentally the same thing, in terms of the math being applied to a surface (so if one doesn't work then the other shouldn't either) - is that not so? What's the nuance to appreciate there?

Re: New Custom Feature: Point Overcut

I try so hard (programming is not a normal thing for me) so I'm glad when someone else find my scripts useful.

I made a configurable M4 Nut/Bolt/Washer assembly

FTC robots use M4 fasteners almost exclusively, and besides the fact that Onshape doesn't have Nyloc nuts built-in, I wanted to be able to also include different washers.

Once Inserted into an assembly, it can be copied and reconfigured as-needed.

Washer is Fastened to the head, but the nut is on a Slider
