How do I line up parts in Parts Studio without having to zoom in?
I am teaching myself Onshape and CAD in general. This is the first time doing this... In positioning parts I tried using the Transform function and having to enter the values for XYZ but found myself having to zoom in to the point where it became challenging figuring out where one part ended and the other began (hope that… -
Re: export DXF from Oneshape Drawing
Milan, I would be considered a beginner CAD user, but I've done 8+ years of generating DXFs for laser and plasma table cutting, so I want to try and help. I just looked over some of my DXF files and super simple ones are 23kb and more complex up to 700kb. 1-2 MB is so small anyway. You'll have to tell me why this is a… -
Holes in Sheet Metal Model
Hi All, Looking for guidance. There's been a lot of discussion on this topic, but I can't seem to find info to my particular issue. I have a situation where I have many PEM holes that seem to work fine in a sheet metal model. They show up in flat panel and show up in hole table. When I try and add new thru holes in the… -
Imported step file trouble extruding
Hello. I am relatively new to 3D modeling but have been using OnShape to make designs for 3D printing for about a year. I understand most of the basics of sketches and extrusions and have played around with revolves, lofts, sweeps etc. One thing I would like to get better at is remixing designs. To that point I have… -
Re: Profile Generator (Airfoil) CustomFeature airfoil database has error for some common airfoil shapes.
Hi @GregBrown, I'm much in the same boat as John here with the curvature generated by this plug-in being a bit weird and wanting to use foils not in the database. It is great to hear you're working on this! Just checking in it's been a few months - did it release anywhere at any point? Where could I find out more? Eagerly… -
Re: Recommend a CNC selection
I use Camel from time to time for simple projects. There's a lot it can't do but it's very convenient for making rough templates and things. I should really post a tutorial sometime. And maybe add tabbing support. A few years ago I imported a project from OnShape into Vcarve. I think I started by creating an OnShape… -
Re: Released Configured Part Not Configurable
@tim_hess427 95% of the time its only one configuration. There could be other components underneath that are being represented in many different configurations. I usually drop the top level model into another assembly that I use as the true company coded product container. from here I can create explodes and display states… -
Re: Building a full model with featurescript?
It's not too efficient building full models with FS generally, nowadays you can configure part studio and link it in any place in any configuration - just like feature call, but before standart content appeared I used "Cap screw FS" to generate fasteners for example, or I heard Airfoil FS was used to generate wing… -
Re: Something wrong with my gear assembly - can't create gear relation
Thank you so much Billy2. Yea I am completely new to OnShape and modelling in general. I got far enough with SolidWorks to be able to make the clock going-train work but that was with it’s surface simulation or contact detecting or what ever - so the anchor and escape wheels worked as I’d hoped and i get that OS only does… -
Custom Features Collection
I joined the Onshape design team in January of this year, having previously worked in NX for 11 years. At first, I was hesitant to get to know the software, but it quickly became apparent that beyond the built-in functions, there are also many custom solutions for different tasks. These are nice, but it is almost…
