Re: Blended Learning, Playlist for 3D printing
A Project I use is based on Iconic Products with an element of reverse engineering, before the design, model and 3D print. Students look at the Bic Pen, we discuss what makes an iconic product and look at pens that have copied the design. Students then record the dimensions of the pen barrel, cap, end cap and most… -
Re: onshape vs solidworks
If you move from any cad system to another, you are very likely to be working with dumb solids anyway. Converting to native is an 'as necessary' thing. I'm not sure what you are referring to with solidworks revisions being any different. I thought that was to modify legacy sw files to attempt to stay compatible with people… -
Re: Editing feature definitions in a body after it has been scaled
@christian_campbell YOU SAID — I propose that whenever you scale a body/part, Onshape automatically scales the feature definitions too. Onshape can do that. Use a variable, or a number of variables, to do your scaling. You can use one variable to scale your entire part. Or, you can use a variable to scale along the X,… -
Re: Fastened mate orientation error/bug/unexpected behaviour
Hi. So we didn't get off to the best of starts, so here is an olive branch. :) Looking at your first example you have placed a pair of local coordinate systems (aka mate connectors) onto your parts. When we make use of those connectors in a Mate feature they will be brought together and the parts will be transformed such… -
Re: How do you bring numbers in as a precondition
Hi @ron_moreland I saw your discussions in this thread and the other thread, and thought it may be useful to clear up some stuff about types in FeatureScript. For every type <X> in FeatureScript there is a canBe<X>() method, which is the typecheck for that type. You should never need to actually call the canBe<X>() method,… -

Proposal for a first (simple) motion/animation designer in Assemblies
Since some weeks I am evaluating Onshape and currently I explore the borders of the animating an assembly with mechanism(s). Currently I found these restrictions * It is only possible to animate one mate at a time * It is only possible to animate a mate "linear" from the minimum value to the maximum value I guess this is… -

Re: How to approach modeling a complex shape
@roger_smetaniuk They still make it: https://structure.io/structure-sensor-pro I have a really old version and need to update it. For the cost, it works well. Does it work with Onshape? Yep, I've been using it ever since Onshape has supported meshes and Onshape has it working well. How do you get started? Follow every…
