Configurations update: Edit FeatureScript IDs
In addition to the other new features already mentioned, Onshape 1.78 added a piece of functionality specifically for the purpose of writing FeatureScript that builds configured Part Studios. As you may already know, the user-facing names of configuration inputs and the user-facing names of configuration table rows can be…
Creating Configuration-parameters with Feature Script
Is there a way to create a set of Configurations-parameters in a part studio with a Feature Script.(FS). So that if I say to the FS that I want "n" sets of parameters. Then it creates for example a1,b1,a2, b2,...an &bn?
Is there a getAllVariables()? Specifically Configuration Variables.
Is there a way of accessing a list (map) of all (configuration) variables in a Part Studio? Perhaps a way of accessing the input of the build(config) function? Basically a getAllVariables() is what I'm after, in the spirit of getAttributes(...qEverything()...)
ANSI Flange in the January 2nd "What's New" video about configuration?
Where can we find the ANSI Flange used at the end of the January 2nd "What's New" video about configurations: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/7975/improvements-to-onshape-january-2nd-2018/p1 THANKS
How to get the "Part_Number" with FeatureScript?
Hello Everyone, I need to name my configurations parts automatically. The "Part_Name" should be "Part_Number" + "Part_Description" The reason is when I export the part as a STEP-File it should contain the Number and Description in the File Name. I managed to automatically create the "Part_Description", but I can't request…
Building Layouts (Floor Plan) -- Seeking Your Advice
I have constructed a building layout (floor plan) for a 2 story office space: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/569e29daf28932c56a2c7a76/w/d3678f7a010aec8d44ed44bc/e/db2ca978e704cf21d2fd5650 Does anyone have any advice on document structure, design or construction techniques that would be specific to these types of models?…
How to find the configuration panel?
This article says there is a Configuration option which sounds just what I want It tells me to look below the view cube for a cube with a grid. I can't see it. Failing that is there any way I can export a part so that I can see the feature script movements? I'm looking to build a drill case and therefore want 10 or so…
Creating multiple parts that vary only in input variables?
I'm building a cabinet which will have 24 drawers. Of them, 20 have unique dimensions. My prototype drawer part studio can produce all 20 of them by just varying width & height parameters; everything else is parametric and works out beautifully. Now... is there some better way to produce my 20 unique parts than just making…
