custom feature

I've created a new custom tool called Stock Size Pro. It basically uses the same stock size calculations I used for my Cut List Pro FeatureScript, but for single parts. This includes: Onshape's Structural Frame profiles, plates, round, tubes, hex, pipe, threaded rod, sheet metal and gussets of several styles. The sizes can…

Hi everyone, I'm Younseo Lee from Seoul National University, KOREA. First of all, thank you for your interest in my previous Worm Gear Feature Script! I've been working on some improvements and new features, and I'm happy to share Worm Gear update! Use Custom Feature: Worm Gear ←Link The biggest update is Globoid Worm…

Hi everyone, I'm Younseo Lee, a robotics researcher at Seoul National University. We use Onshape quite a lot in our lab, and I've always wanted to create and share a custom FeatureScript with the community. Recently, I came across a discussion about the lack of a proper worm gear FeatureScript, so I decided to give it a…

Link to feature Somewhat similar to some features from @jnewth (see this thread), these two features will measure the transform between two mate connectors (and store a variable and custom table), and the other will generate a new mate connector from an existing one with a transform variable (or entered values). Unlike the…

I often work with symmetrical designs in multi-part studios, and many times I have a number of parts to mirror across multiple planes. With the standard mirror feature, I have to use a new feature for each part x the number of planes to mirror about. That means if I have 3 parts to mirror about the top, right, and front…

Hi I am new to using the custom feature for wiring created in OnShape. I have been stumped because I am unsure what I am doing wrong. Importing the CSV that I made from Excel works fine, but I keep getting the regeneration error when I try to import Wire Data into the Part Studio. I have already created a Variable Studio…

Here is my latest custom feature: Text path. The purpose of this custom feature is to lay out characters, words, or number sequences following a geometric arrangement (clock faces, wheels, dials) or alignment. You can watch a demo video…

hey all! another janky feature from the smidchens household - take whatever path you want (elliptical, polygonal, spline…) and generate gear teeth along that path using local curvature to drive involute profile. snag it here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8f033780ed64a1971e38c2a9/

Hey all! Wanted to model some braided wires for fun, and couldn't find a custom feature to generate the braid paths. Slapped one together real quick, snag it here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e522ae0e05eda848c8b5a692 Eventually I'll add options for more than 3 strands (right now the logic is all kinda hard-coded for…

I have found Rainbow Faces from Smart Bench Software to be a great Custom Feature! https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6c10172a1734b4f178ad78be/w/70765346933e90216a09db4c/e/7c1aed24adff1f95d693043f Not only do kids love the pretty parts, but it also helps with understanding of drawings and how features show up in different…

Get Banana for Scale Here Do you struggle to design real world objects within the confines of a computer? Do you lack the discretionary funds for an apple vision? Do you have difficult design constraints such as "would a banana fit in here?". Introducing the newest feature from the SmartBench team - Banana for Scale.…

DIALS FS I hope this will one day become as indispensable for the AMP industry as SpeakerPattern FS is for the speaker industry :) It’s a feature that lets you design all kinds of dials for clocks, tachometers, synthesizers, nanometers, amps, and more. From a designer’s point of view, it’s great to have a tool that lets…

This split panel feature has been one of my favourites of the past year to work on. The combination of a really cool data structure, and an interesting implementation of point manipulators have resulted in a feature I would describe as "playful". Clicking a blue dot adds a split, a red dot remove the split. The extra cool…

Hey Guys, I wanted to use the automatic wire routing custom feature in onshape for the first time in a project. I did the CSV file manually (not exported from somewhere) in Excel and exported it as CSV file. Then I imported it into Onshape without any problems. But after creating a part studio in context (inside an…

Hi everyone, I’ve been taking my first real steps in proper 3D modeling (I came from Tinkercad, so this was a big jump for me 😅), and I wanted to share something useful that came out of that learning process. I wrote a FeatureScript called Crush Ribs — a fully parametric tool for generating wedge-shaped crush ribs inside…

We have a request to 3D print up to 4000 parts that require serialization. Is it possible to write a script that will change the text on a extrude cut and export a stl file so they don't have to be edited and saved individually? 

Often when modeling furniture and other objects created from wood I want to communicate the orientation of the wood grain on a part. This eliminates confusion when creating the parts in the workshop. To solve this I created a Wood grain texture custom feature! This low resolution feature is intended to demonstrate the…

With our recent release of Keys to standard content I created a Keyway groove custom feature to automatically cut the appropriate size grooves for a given shaft or hub diameter. ANSI and DIN included! Add to your toolbar:…

I'm pleased to announce that my Publish geometry Custom feature is now… published. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/40d43cad542dccfa4772d7e1/v/856bd2b631f7e35c4a2b34ad/e/788996d08647863b81b2ff61 Like many other CAD systems (Creo, CATIA etc) the Publish geometry is intended to make Top Down Design workflows much more…
