Flat-Head Screw Hole
How do I place Flat-Head Screw Holes on a curved surface? I need to specify the location so that they align with the mating part. I have included a simple sketch and would like to add the holes on the inside of the part so the screws point outward.…
Helix+Swept Cut and a Curve
I have a swept cable (circle) of constant diameter that runs along a path composed of sketch lines and fillets in an S shape. This is an armored cable and my client wants the helix cut armoring to be represented. My question is: Can I run a helix along this curving path to perform a thread-like cut along the cable? Does…
F1 Style Cambered Aerofoil Feature Script
I've been using Onshape for a while now, I lecture in Aerodynamics at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK and actively use Onshape as part of the modules I teach across different Engineering disciplines. Recently I've been working on a slightly larger project with students to design an open-wheeled F1 style car and…
Constraints: How do I figure out what's missing?
I'm very much a n00b to CAD and to Onshape, but I'm learning... slowly. I've got this shape that I'm working on... http://bit.ly/2dl7NU8. It's under constrained, but I can't figure out what constraint(s) are missing to get it to being fully constrained. Anyone? In the larger scheme, is there a process that you use to…
How do you make slots in a cylinder?
I'm planning on making a rook (chess piece), but I don't know how to go about it.
