Re: Long regen times for text extrudes
The method of dividing up your sketches preferred. Otherwise your sketch will get ever slower during modification of the sketch. Text is know to be slow. But 12 seconds seems excessive for the extrude. How many sketches are there? we see 52 just in this screen shot. you may conciser sub-dividing your part studios into… -
Creating a new Feature via API JSON Format (NodeJS)
Hello everybody, Don't know where else to post this question ,if there is a more appropriate location, please tell me =) I'm currently trying to wrap my head around this, but I just can't get it to work. I am using NodeJS, but this is more of a general question (i guess). I am trying to add a new feature to an existing… -
Re: Dividing an edge in featurescript
Hi @stefan_nilsson. Is there a particular reason you want sketch points? This could also be done with opPoint(). Regardless, here is a workflow that could still be applied: * Create variable or constant storing an array with all of the parameter locations you would like. 0 is the start of the edge, 1 is the end. Think of… -
Configuration basics
I have lost my ability to create a configuration, and the documentation becomes very confusing. Here is my part studio. I created a variable, #spacing_distance, which can have various values. I have used those values as the configuration names.If I select a different configuration, I can see the position of the bottom pin… -
Re: User Group Meeting: Non-traditional Onshape use
@chadstoltzfus's wordle is pretty cool. Combine that with @ilya_baran's RNG. then if you want, you can hide the available answers in another document then import them. In this case I just have the array of answers on the top of featurescript. Now take the sketch RNG and move the dot to a random location. It will take that… -
Re: Part names = Part numbers ?
Thanks for the comments on this everyone, sorry had not replied sooner. Good to get an idea what others do with part names/numbers. @john_mcclary sounds great, are there any tutorials of this BOM copy and paste you would recommend? I'm still learning Really like the FS @emagdalenaC2i I like the idea of designing common… -
Re: Editing Logic Function Bug
Editing logic only runs when a user manually makes a change to a feature parameter. It is not triggered by external part studio changes or changes to configurations or input variables. This is by design since otherwise, editing logic functions would need to be run every time a feature is regenerated, which would add… -
Re: Hide dimensions in sketch
Classic example of what NOT to do in a sketch; incorporating details of what are essentially other functional features. Keep sketches simple and focused on just one functional feature of the design. This holds true for all feature based modelers, not just OS. There should be no reason to need a hide/show dimension… -
Re: Measuring the distance between objects
Hi Alex, Is there any reason you want to do this with the API? If you just want to know the distance, you can select any two entities and measurement information will appear in the bottom right corner of the graphics area (clicking the little up arrow next to this will give additional information). If you would like to use… -
Re: opRevolve help, syntax
I can see two issues -- the first is like you suspect that your query is not resolving. This is because, even though you named the sketch variable "thissketch", the sketch id is just id, whereas you're querying for id + "thissketch". Changing the sketch creation line to: <span>var thissketch = newSketch(context, id +…
