Re: Cutting Bricks

Draw your desired path. Then do an offset the width of a brick. Then draw your bricks. The longest side of each brick should be equal to the length of your brick and the shortest edge should be normal (shift+k) to your path.

Re: CAM Studio - open pockets on edge of workpiece

Can CAM Studio take a sketch as input? If so, you could create a sketch that duplicates the slot dimensions, plus enough extra at either end to let the cutter clear the stock or ends of the slot.

Re: New Feature: Freeform Spline

Okay it's solved now so update to the latest version.

I confirmed it was an update to the FeatureScript Standard that did it, but I want to call out that it wasn't a change that would have broken any deployed features or caused anything to regenerate differently. It just changed how things like Editing Logic and Manipulator Change functions worked (i.e. what the feature does when you change something in the feature UI dialogue). The change they made actually solves many other headaches I've had and makes this feature better too. In the past, if you used a variable to control one of the points, then added or removed a point, it would clear the variable reference and replace it just with the static value, which was quite frustrating. Now they stay put! Thanks dev team!

IM DONE

i have tried so hard to use this software and its just unusable i have found better 3d software that doesn't need to be this difficult to operate. I am pretty good with most top end design programs but this is awful. I wanted to make this discussion cause i found my experience so bad. I have gone through a large number of tutorials and im still majorly stuck on such simple tasks. It should be this clunky to move and use what are simple objects. As the title suggests im done with this im going on to a much better more straight forward platform. his whole thing needs we doing from start to finish its horrible to use and i refuse to continue using something that make me feel depressed and frustrated just trying to move a shape. Unbelievable..??????

Re: GCode with Onshape

If your project is not too complex, then you can generate it with the Camel custom feature by @jeff_brown304

Re: Strange Sweep Behavior – Not Following Spline Path

The sketch curve used by handle sweep should go past the the outer surface of cup or it will leave gaps. Mate connecter on the end of handle sketch will line up the sketch.

Re: Strange Sweep Behavior – Not Following Spline Path

You will have better luck if your profile sketch is perpendicular to the path. I'd stick a plane using curve point on your sweep path and put your sketch on that plane
