Can I simulate a Geneva drive?
Like the title says I am trying to animate a geneva drive. How do I do this? Already modeled it but the gear relationships I see are continuous. I need an incremental gear relation with a degrees per rotation field or something

A few more undocumented FeatureScript functions
Over on the SmartBench blog I've written another article discussing a few undocumented FeatureScript functions that I find useful. Read the blog article here While there are some hidden gems in the std code, just keep in mind that undocumented functions could produce unexpected results, or change without warning. Something…

Do you need a "Transform sketch" feature? Request for feedback.
Hey everyone, I'm working on a new custom feature called "Transform sketch". This isn't an activity I frequently need in my own modeling so I wanted to ask for some suggestions before writing much more code. IF this is something you need, please let me know when you would use it, what you use it for, and what controls you…

More defining issues
Made a polycon, why are two points constrained, but 3 are not? If I'm using the polycon sketch tool, why just 2 defined? Plan on doing a loft on plane one, but need to define each polycon. tried putting a measure on each line, adding a constraint to each of the 3 points, but still not fully defined. What am I missing,…

How do I pattern this diagonal rectangle with margin?

Variable in text does not change in pattern
Hi, I have a variable in a sketch text, when I apply a linear pattern which changes the variable, the text does not change. Following example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/89556755f21cf336a44b60d6/w/7259a717c555919364ce36b4/e/56e92cccab259f192183c6ca?renderMode=0&uiState=6727d2a0acee506bdb3c0c00 I would expect the…

New Feature: Bridging Curve Plus
I don't have an icon or an explainer page yet, but I wanted people to bang on this and tell me if there are any obvious issues. So things might change, but I hope this is a reasonable approach. For a long time I've wanted to have a way to optionally make both sides of a Bridging curve work the same. I actually did 98% of…

Is it possible to scale around a circular axis rather than a linear direction?
I have run into a situation where it would be great to scale an object in a way that it would keep the upper and lower faces the same curvature (or the same thickness) but essentially act as a move face —> rotate in the chosen directions. The reason the move face wouldn't work in my case is I want a precise scale change…

Multiple Intersections with evDistance or ???
I'm trying to find all the potential intersections between two arbitrary 3D curves (edges). I've been playing with evDistance and discovering that it always comes up with a single result. There are some old threads and ideas around splitting or sampling curves to get more complete results. What is the current…

Is that anyway I can make drawings work on Win7?

Remove over extrusion from sweep that extends past face on another part
I have a test piece where I am trying to have a component that is internal to a block and goes along a sweep path. The sweep path I have is slightly longer than the face it is connecting to so the extrusion removes the full face as setting to coincident doesnt remove the whole face from the sweep. When I do the sweep of…

Why can't this be constrained as concentric if i can "manually constrain" by setting distance of 0?
