Re: Is there a way to edit or delete a "version"?
Any idea on timing of the roll out of OS design tables? I have started preparing for teaching 3D modeling and FEA for the fall semester and want to use OS instead of Creo (due in part to its collaboration capabilities), but creating design tables and configurations based on parameters/variables is a topic I think needs to… -
Re: Does anyone have a dodecahedron tutorial or can comment on techniques to make one?
Hmmm - I think that I would apply the following logic: CAD is a tool for Engineers that enables us to capture our ideas. Parametric CAD enables us to evaluate our ideas over a range of values. We encode within our models known conditions (constraints, constants and formulas) that enable the models to regenerate over… -
Mate Connectors Need Some Love
I've become more and more dependent on Multi Mate Connector from @konstantin_shiriazdanov. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be active and maintaining it any more. MMC is great for adding MCs to a bunch of parts all at the same place, and it also has some features to allow mate connectors to be placed in locations which… -
Using AI for FS generation.. and failing
So yes, I'm no coder, but have been prompting ChatGPT to see if it can write me some code. I find the conversational style very engaging. Here's my current non-working result: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ae1931dd79abf7662aea410a/w/7528de4b57e62d87e25e4f0c/e/aa2e0934fc6a93830a0bf384 FeatureScript 1963; import(path :… -
Re: How to mate chain link like parts and also align them to a flat plane (3D Printing)?
Rather than try to mate and bend them all in an assembly, this is a situation where I'd model it all into a studio to take advantage of the patterning tools there. I can think of two custom features that might be a game changer for you here. * Line of Links (by @carl_malagodi ) - This one was a student featurescript… -
Reliable workflow for using configurations?
Hi there I work for a fabrication company where a large part of our work is staircases. We have been designing our staircases, straight flights, mono-stringers, sawtooth, kite landings, spirals etc using onshape Been trying to develop some "template" files which would basically auto generate the fabrication ready stair… -
Current State of Laser Cutting Workflow?
I use Onshape primarily to make semi-complicated laser-cut assemblies, doing final layout in Inkscape. Up until now I had been using the right-click -> export to DXF workflow, but it is really tedious. I often have 4 or more of the same part, so while my assembly reflects that I have to manually do the bookkeeping and… -
Adding Nubs or Ribs to the Inside of a Hole
I have an object that requires an interference fit. The hole will be in plastic (3D printed) and the object is metal. Getting exact tolerances is painful since 3D printing is so variable so I am wanting to add small nubs or bumps to the inside of the hole since the plastic is malleable enough that these bumps will simply… -
Cuved Part and Flat Part as same Part Name/Part Number?
We have a custom flexible tapelight that is cut to length in 50mm increments and used on numerous products. Currently, I have a part studio which has a configuration variable for the radius of the curved surface to which the tape will be applied to. The tape model is created using a sketch which has a formula for the… -
Re: Is there a way to "de-feature" parts in assemblies for improved performance?
OK - late to the party - but here goes. Lots of good conversation here and most of you are spot on. That said - here are my nuggets :) * Graphics card is critical - (meaning you need one). If https://cad.onshape.com/check reports anything other than your graphics card (read it carefully) then you need to start…
