Re: How to mate a bracket to an extrusion

It might be better to add a mate connector to the flat face and then use the move option to rotate it 90 degrees. Unless you are in control of the draft on the bracket, adding 5 degrees in the mate connector definition is dangerous if the draft changes.

Re: How to mate a bracket to an extrusion

The draft angle is 5 degrees. So you could add a Mate Connector with a 5 degree rotation.

Re: Reopened a very old project - missing updates

I've heard that you can trash a document and then restore it from trash to force an update.

It's a good idea to start with the free courses: https://learn.onshape.com/

Re: Fill not working for spoon shape

One problem is that you included your guide curves in the list of edges. That doesn't work. Also your curves are not internally G2 continuous and I think that can cause issues with fill trying to be exact.

Here's a test spoon shape with single span Béziers, and only one guide curve.

Re: Can I attach my datum to a dimension as per ASME Y14.5?

Width datum type attachment to dimensions is work in progress now. We know it's important. And it's certainly not just for cylinders.

Can I attach my datum to a dimension as per ASME Y14.5?

It is standard practice in ASME Y14.5 to attach datums to dimensions. This communicates that the location of the datum is at the centerline/axis of the dimension. See here for a snapshot from the standard, which communicates that Datum A is an axis down the center of the cylindrical feature. This is something I have done countless times in SW, a very standard and integrated feature.

I have been unable to perform this action in a drawing in Onshape. It seems I am forced to position the datum and the dimension separately which can make the communication less clear and the drawing more cluttered.

Am I missing something? Or is it simply not possible?

Re: INTRODUCTION TO PART STUDIOS - ADVANCED FEATURES / EXCERCISE:FUNNEL

It's really hard to grab the right profile from sketch 1 without also grabbing the inner loop. Either select the sketch from the Features list or check off "disable imprinting."
