Re: Can this component be created using OnShape?
I started to respond to your post above in the form of a blow-by-blow refutation of your points, but that would come across as some kind of trolling; which isn't what I'm about. I'll pick out a few points: * I have no experience of autocad; 2D or 3D, nor any other 2D CAD. * FreeCAD (in all its hideousness) is a full… -
Re: Using a for loop for multiple operations on multiple parts

Didn't realize the original post was from 2016 and there is a new question at hand. @ivan_skachko @konstantin_shiriazdanov Note that if there is a large loop with konstantin's solution, you could run into a bad situation where the ids are not unique. For example: i = 1 j = 12 "sketch112" i = 11 j = 2 "sketch112" This can… -
8020 Extrusion Frame, Not able to generate the composite Part
Hi Everyone, I have assembled a frame structure for a custom built machine. With the current features I find it difficult to assemble the as easy i have seen in the videos earlier. This could be due to the complexity of the design which i have. And i am also unable to generate a cut list. An error message is popped as… -
featurescript: How to get a midpoint
I am trying to get a midpoint of a line Here's the parameter: annotation { "Name" : "Lines", "Filter" : EntityType.EDGE && SketchObject.YES && GeometryType.LINE } definition.lines is Query; And here's some code that I wrote. const lines = evaluateQuery(context, definition.lines); for (var line in lines) { var endpoints =… -
Multiple small flanges instead of one big one
It's easy to make a flange, and easy to make a flange narrower using "modify face". But what if I want to turn a long flange into multiple lit, like this: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a6bdb34235bb22181c3cdc1a/w/5a554c9c2ff1d2ad9a845444/e/82ee62d57befbaee0630a233 Only solution I can find is to subtract extrude after… -
Re: building a complex sheet metal part in context....
This is a very complicated design for a newbe...and with your help I am improving....This is my second wing...the first failed load test. I have been using Autocad 14 professionally since 2000 and yes there is 3D profiles of the wing skins in Autocad14......However the new design main spar needs to fit into the existing… -
Re: Swept Profile Boolean Subtract
Now your getting it ;) It is easier to understand whats happening once you get deeper into parametric systems. Understanding when parts come in and out of existence (new internal I.D.), can be as simple as the order in which you select objects in a boolean, or an extrude add deleting an existing edge... Transform Copy is… -
Sheet metal internal corner flanges

Greetings; I've been enjoying the new sheet metal feature and am impressed by a lot of its workings. Unfortunately, I think I may have exceeded the current capabilities of Onshape's new sheet metal tool. I'm curious if any of you know something I haven't figured out yet. I make relatively complicated parts out of ACM or… -
How to use SliderMate?
I am brand new to learning CAD, so please take it easy on me! I've been messing around with various shapes as I'm learning OnShape, and came up with two separate parts; one with a male and one with a female dovetail extrusion, the idea being I can get the parts to slide past each other along this rail. Problem is, no… -
Re: How to get a full remove revolve of two parts to work.
Thanks everyone. So it is similar to why some extrusions fail when areas meet at a point and don't share a common line or curved segment. I run into a similar problem on a project I do with students making a stained glass window from a single sketch. It gives me a chance to explain how the primitives need space to be able…
