Re: Understanding Loft's Normal to Profile Magnitude Value
@elif Thanks for the suggestion. I have used "Split" before to break part models into pieces for manufacturing purposes; didn't think about using it to create a matching # of curves condition between the profiles. Suggestion worked great and along with the new variable fillet option I could create a zero radius fillet… -
Re: Drawing capabilities still not there for me.
I would need: - Exactly the same drawing-, constraining- and dimension tools as we have in sketch mode (same toolbar, same snapping rules etc.). - All standard tools that you would expect from industry level mcad. - Perfect handling for dwg/dxf + - Easily add multiple assemblies to same drawing (product list) - Embed… -
Re: Step version on export ap214 ... 242
UP! I did not find any use for the AP242 STEP files, until yesterday. I found a new start-up supplier who CNCs parts without 2D drawing as their primary business case. This way the order and production process can be fully automated, and therefore faster and cheaper. For now, only thread data is extracted from AP242 files… -
Re: Essential Training Multipart tutorial, stuck on midplane [w/ screenshots]
@daniel_chow To answer your earlier question about why a midplane was specified rather than simply an extrusion distance, it's about capturing design intent. The designer intends that a number of elements will be symmetrical about the midplane of the clamp (particularly the pairs of plates and the ends of the pins). For… -
Re: python api + parametric study
If changing variables is your use case, then definitely use configurations. Configurations are built with this workflow in mind. To give you an example of REST calls that show two different configs, compare these two calls: configurable cube stl download - specifying a size configuration parameter to be set as "0.0762… -
Re: Can't Sketch on Plane Created with opPlane
I like to store this in a variable so that I don't have to rely on typing the same string correctly over and over: const planeId = id + "plane"; opPlane(context, planeId, {...}); const sketchId = id + "sketch"; var sketch = newSketch(context, sketchId, { "sketchPlane" : qCreatedby(planeId, EntityType.FACE) });… -
Re: My standard content
you can't make it exactly like standard content, but since you've got it all configured it's pretty similar. Here are some tips to make it more similar: * make a Variable Studio which corresponds to the holes you need for the rivet, so you can avoid needing to reference a table for them when you're modeling parts for them.… -
Applying a Fillet to a lofted curve edge
Hi All, I'm very new and green with Onshape. I've only been using it for 10 days now, and it's my first experience with 3D modeling, so please forgive my ignorance. I'm working on a piece and it took a while to figure out how to get the 3D fit splines to loft and actually create a smooth shape (as you can see, I'm not… -
drawing BOM vs engineering/ commercial BOM
Hi, I'm heavily relying on configurations in assemblies (different but similar frame structures). it uses a lot of subassemblies (sadly) to link parts together and to relate for instance the number of bolts to a specific beam element, basically adding one more "beam- with-bolts" assembly adds the correct number of bolts to… -
Dimension Values can be Set to ZERO
I've noticed that dimensions can be set to Zero ("0") in Onshape which is pretty interesting coming from SW. I found a unique scenario in which I would use this behavior/methodology would be perfect for my current design scenario. For example, mechanical cylinder's are typically round (cylindrical/circlular), but if you…
