More options required while applying drafts and fillets in cast parts
I would like to mention few things regarding drafts and fillets. Drafts:- * Designing of cast parts is one of the challenging task especially when it comes for engine parts such as cylinder block, manifold etc. In such parts parting lines separating the mould cavities are not always straight but most of the times they are… -
Best Workflow for Repeated Geometry?
I'm trying to find the best workflow to model similar geometry in lots of different places and part studios. Here's the general geometry I'm trying to re-produce without sketching it out every time. It's meant to mount a bearing inside of a tube. Any suggestions or cautionary tales? I think the best way to deal with this… -
Re: ThreadLab - Internal/External Modeled/Cosmetic Threads with External Thread Callouts
Definitely. I think of them as slightly different problems to solve because printed threads have variables that are unique to me (which printer and settings I use), whereas clearances for standard threads are already established. For the first case, I'd prefer to add it myself manually, but for the second case, a dropdown… -
Re: CAD philosophy: Add or Subtract?
In my organization, best modeling practice is to begin with design intent, whether that be with a driving sketch with reference dimensions, named variables, or a progressive sequence of extrudes with smaller sketches. What is important to consider up front is what you may wish to change later and how that should interact… -
Re: Random function?
What are some examples of useful applications for RNG in a mechanical CAD application? Ilya is right, things would regenerate every time. In manufacturing and engineering that is insanely bad if every item you refresh your browser or more than one person logs into the same document your model just goes crazy. It wouldn't… -
Help with determining if a selected input is a sketch vertex or a mate connector please. - FIXED
Hi folks. I'm having a struggle to get a FS working and could use a hand if anyone's free to help. Given the new implied mate connectors added in the last Onshape update it seemed a shame not to use them, so I'm trying to have a FS that's happy to accept sketch points or MC's The precondition is fine and happy:-annotation… -
Re: Folding a linear sketch pattern round a curve
Hi Stephen, There are several ways you could do this. Here is an approach that is not equation intensive: * Create variables of the dimensions that you want to easily change. * Sketch the main shape of the belt. Note: this needs to be properly constrained in order to easily adjust the size. * Sketch one tooth and one… -
Re: the hardware requirements
I think your best option is to search the forums here for different people's reported experience with different hardware setups. People have shared their setups and impressions of them. I think it would be hard to give a good recommendation based solely on the part geometry, since thing like your internet speed and latency… -
Re: Color text or layer properties in drawings?
@kai_yang We have a planned improvement to handle applying different styles to collections of annotations in a drawing that would move them off of the drawing defaults as defined in the properties panel. The properties panel was always designed with the intention to handle drawing global defaults, and is not the intention… -
Re: Philadelphia Onshape User Group meeting tomorrow - Surfacing
I have learned new skills and productivity tips at every OS user group meeting that I have attended, and this one certainly did not disappoint. Thanks Vince! Your expert insight into surface modeling was incredibly helpful for me. Using Delete-Face and Enclose to dance back and forth between solids and surfaces was…
