  • Automatically update In-Context part when Assembly Configuration is changed

    Hey everyone, I'm working on a fairly complex design that is a part cooling duct for a 3D printer toolhead. I have configured the assembly such that there is an option to switch the hotend that is attached to the extruder, and the idea is that the context of the L and R Ducts will automatically update to reflect the new…

  • Select assembly configuration in API?

    Started playing around a bit with the API. I'm looking at what it would take to generate some images of different configurations of an assembly to use on our website. Looking through the "Gif generator" example, I'm seeing a lot of the pieces I would need to make that happen, but one thing I'm not clear on is how to switch…

  • Configuration loading speed with sub assemblies and composite items

    I have a fairly complex assembly that has multiple layers of configurations in both parts and sub assemblies. I am at a point where I am fine-tuning the model for access using the API and repetitive drawings, and I am trying to determine which factors most affect the speed of regeneration once I change configurations.…

  • How to make a master configuration driving other assemblies? - linking/sync assembly configurations

    I need configuration changes in a master assembly to update another assembly, how can that be done? Example: I have a partstudio with a ‘height’ configuration. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/81435cbe69ad007199e1d581/w/1636a278312756d649105c41/e/6710e13460317f24d5d14c45 Let's say I have a ‘Masterpiece’ assembly (it's…

  • Fast way to configure a lot of parts?

    The sub-assembly consists of a lot of parts. I'd like to make this and other sub-assemblies configurable with the variables that were being used to create the parts. As there is a high number of parts in this helix and multiple variables (5) I am looking for a different way than klicking on every part and selecting each of…

  • exploded view as a configuration

    Hi. Is it possible to make the exploded view as a configuration, that I can open in a tree and choose whether I want to see my assembly or the exploded view of it? 

  • Assembly Configurations - managing mates

    I love the new assembly configs. However managing the mates between configs is a little awkward. (or more than likely, I have picked an awkward workflow and there is a better way I've not discovered yet) I have a configured assembly with 2 configs. (a short and a long ). Only difference between them is the length. (600mm &…
