Re: Improvements to Onshape - March 13th, 2025

Routing curve ;)

Makes it easier to create a twisted cable with Ferrite, could improve on the HS-tube but that is to much gold plating according to my boss

Re: How to keep different parts, based on different sizes in a sketch?

I think what you are looking for are "configurations"…

Or possibly a better option would be to create the shared geometry in a part studio and then use the "derive" to bring that into different part studios where you add the specific features you need.

Re: How to cut a big part into printable smaller parts

You can put in a sketch of where you want joints and the shape of them via a single chain of lines for each joint. then extrude a thin remove to give some tolerance. then pattern the feature as needed.

Re: AI geometry feature naming

The AI would have to guess your intent though, so it would be have to be almost telempathic…

throwing a bunch of features in a folder and renaming that works well as an intermediate solution or solution for part studio's with many features.

if the folder is called 'snap hooks' and there's a sketch, extrude, draft, fillet, mirror/pattern there, the functionality of the features follows from the folder name…

Re: Progressively smaller feature patterning

The basic pattern is: control the size of your design with a variable, make a second variable feature that overrides the variable's value (like #width - 3mm), then feature-pattern your design and that second variable feature. Make sure you check "Reapply features".

Re: Progressively smaller feature patterning

@_anton nailed it, but depending on what you're trying to do you might also be interested in my Attractor Pattern custom feature that can do some more complex things like this.
