NVIDIA Isaac Sim: Import from Onshape - flips all rotational mates
I created an assembly of a robot hand. Defined all mates with limits and everything looks good for now: But when I use "Import from Onshape" in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, all rotational joints are turning in the wrong direction. It is like the joints are flipped during the import. Does anyone know a way to correct this? Of course I…

opSplitFace with Plane or Mate Connectors
I can't get it to work with a plane or with a Mate Connector. Does anyone have an example of a working set of parameters I can look at? I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong. I should elaborate. Both the mate connectors and/or planes are created within the Featurescript. Out of bodyTools, planeTools, faceTools, etc.…

Threaded Holes made with Hole feature called out for "Up to Next" in drawings
I'd like to callout a hole made as shown above where the tapped hole is made through one wall. Typically I'm used to calling this out as "UP TO NEXT" or "THRU 1 WALL" as the depth is a virtual and non-inspectable dimension. Is there any way to edit the hole callout to show as such in the drawing without manually typing out…

CNC engineer is asking for a layered DXF, I can't figure out how to produce that
Hi, I have a 2.5D CNC project that I've been prototyping on my X-Carve by exporting individual layers as DXFs and going through an overcomplicated process of converting them to SVG shapes in illustrator for Easel, the consumer-level CAM software for the X-Carve. It's tedious but it works. I am producing a small run of…

Hello, I'm trying to automatically insert the quantity of an item into my drawing but don’t want to use the entire BOM table. I want to make it easy to see, like a big X with the quantity. I could type it manually, as my assembly is fairly small, but I’d like to avoid as many human errors as possible. I see you can add a…

The object that is inserted can vary in size a little. I was thinking if the shell had a number of fingers extending inside at a…
