AI generated FeatureScript for a modular kitchen cabinet designer based on IKEA dimensions.
I always wanted to play with some featurescript and found Claude is really good at generating it. All of this started with me wanting to design our new kitchen with Onshape. I realized I don't want to recreate each cabinet so I asked Claude to go find all the dimensions and variants of IKEA kitchens and it found the IKEA…

Two Manufacturing FeatureScripts: Automatic Laser Overcuts & Extended Slots _ Custom Features
Full disclosure - I'm a fixture / tooling designer, not a software developer. I iterated a custom FS last year using AI. I started with the CNC overcut feature that Hendrik_Kueck posted here in 2023 but for my work flow, what I really wanted was an overcut feature specifically for a Laser. To that end - I wanted the…

Custom Feature: Design Intent
Link to Design Intent During design reviews I am often asking or being questioned as to why a model was formed the way it was. Usually the answer is in someone's head or personal notes and lacking from any formal documentation. If it is in documentation, then it is likely far from the CAD (unless you keep that in Onshape…

Newbie: workflow and vocabulary of 3d scanning items and creating gridfinity holder for them
I am new to OnShape. I have searched for what I think I'm trying to do, but struggle with the OnShape and 3d modeling vocabulary to search the correct phrases, I think. I am trying to get organized with gridfinity using my 3d printer. I have a friend with a 3d scanner who scanned in the 3 components of a gimbal. I am…

Can you add a point/vertex to an existing sketch? (Trying to fix a twisting loft)
Hello everyone, I have what I assume to be a very beginner question that I think might have come up here before but that I was not able to get a definitive answer to this question. In brief terms, I have drawn two sketches of two different trim profiles that I want to connect to a 3d mesh blending from one shape to the…

Irregular linear pattern
Hello! I want to make a mechanical manipulator by SpiBot (https://www.cell.com/device/pdfExtended/S2666-9986(24)00603-3). I have no issue creating a single segment, however, I struggle to come up with good way to shrink them along the axis, as on the drawing. Would love to hear any ideas on how to linearly change scale of…

How to remove several constraints at a time?
I often want to revisit a previous design and make small changes, tune the dimensions, etc. But every time I do that, it ends up over constraining the sketch, or some similar issue. How can I remove all (or several selected) constraints in a sketch, all in one go? As opposed to clicking every single one and do it…
