Adaptive Finger Joints for Streamlined Design of Laser-Cut Structures
The worst part about designing laser-cut structures in SolidWorks is CADing all of the finger joints between components; even if you use a boolean for half, you need to CAD or pattern one side, and neither is all that nice. Since I dabble in programming (and wanted an excuse to script something), I took a hack at making a… -
UI scripting
Is it possible to run a little script whenever someone enters something into a feature field or clicks to fill in a query field? For example, let's say I have a groove feature requiring a width and a depth. I'd like to make it so that changing the width for the first time automatically changes the depth to match. Any… -
Feature Request - Variable linking in string properties
It would be awesome if, when entering data into a string based property field, you could reference Configuration and/or Feature variables present. For example, as shown in the image below, I have the part properties, Width, Height, Name. For the Name field, I would like to name it: "Nut, Hex, #Width x #Height, 1-72" and… -
Tapering shapes?
I'm trying to make a mount to enable me to attach an impact sprinkler to a fence post, but I'm really struggling to create a tapered shape for the spike. It tapers both lengthwise and width wise in each of the four ridges of the spike. Would anyone be able to suggest the best method to try and tackle this? Thanks! I'm -
Re: Generating flat patterns from rolled profiles
First time asking something here, but bear with me. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/728cdc12963545ec1d3d10e1/w/b49176ac2469d0f5e27eef99/e/d33e5866408864e4a52424c4 In this file, if I've done it right, the green part, because of its variable width on the curve, what it would look like if flat instead of rolled into a ring. -

Re: is it possible to specify teeth specs?
Not so, @da_vicki: it really is a wonderful one-stop resource. The spreadsheet embedded in that document requires only the three data I listed (which are all in the roller chain chart published in the OP) in order to calculate things like tip diameter, pitch diameter, and tooth profile. That leaves the width of the… -
Re: Laser cut lettering
@dave_cowden Thank you for the feature script you have already created. I would love to see Onshape to be the first to have a custom stencil font generator that you could control height, spacing, width of webbing of font, and width of tab creation. This would be a game changer for those in the manufacturing world that have…
