Re: What's wrong with this opTransform input?
Ah, I didn't realize that faces weren't bodies. I'm still getting a handle on how featurescript stores it's data. This might mean that I am on the wrong track conceptually here though. Ultimately I'm not trying to do anything to the bodies. I want to extract some information about edges, check that they form a specific… -
Re: Adding ease of use abilities to the std. sheet metal model feature
Okay, there's a few things to unpack. There is a little blurb on CSV imports buried in the Onshape documentation here. Assuming you've found that already, I think your issue is that you've consistently entered "tableData" instead of "TableData". The difference is that "TableData" is a custom enum or type, as it follows the… -
Re: Props to Philip et al. for the Turbocharge Tips & Tricks Webinar
Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3tqqkcVpt4 Summary: - Turn off "match pixel density on high resolution displays" in your Environment profile settings (My Account > Preferences) - When sketching on the face of an imported part with lots of geometry it is sometimes beneficial to do a 0 distance offset plane and… -
Re: Exponential horn along spline or collection of edges
Was thinking about this last night, can't help but chime in. Seems like there's a trivial solution to this problem. Here's a curve: Counting the inflections, you'll know the order of the curve, or in the cubic spline world the number of curve segments required. I wouldn't use arcs or lines make everything a spline possibly… -
Re: Execute FeatureScript using API and Python
@mark_noyes First of all, thank you for the detailed response. It will take me some time to go over everything but I did not want to wait to ask about the issue you brought up. I have built a FeatureScript that reads data from a .CSV file to generate sketches and loft these as faces. The code does not require any… -
Re: How best to replicate and re-position a rod shape many times where faces meet?
Sorry, let me fill in my story in greater details. But first, a related commentary on one aspect of my OnShape experience... * One of the members of the original Macintosh development team, I believe it was Andy Hertzfeld, once explained that the Mac was so much easier to use back then because it only generated an error… -

Re: Processing Power Transparrency?
At a high level, Owen is correct: we're dynamically allocating Amazon servers (in various roles -- see https://www.onshape.com/cad-blog/under-the-hood-how-does-onshape-really-work) to handle the load and we have plenty of room to scale. Amazon has enough hardware to handle the load if every CAD user in the world switched… -
Re: What are your part number schemes?
Hi @Jason_S, This seems to be an issue that often solicits as many different opinions as there are people chatting about the subject - I think there are reasons for that, including historical industrial practices as well as users' varied personal experiences. There's a crowd that loves and won't let go of intelligent part… -
Re: How does identity work?
The primary thing that Onshape will use to identify a selected entity is the "id" passed into the operation that creates it. You can read a more detailed explanation in a past comment here. To sum it up briefly: When you select an entity, Onshape generates a query for that entity. That query might look like "the face…
