Re: Improvements to Onshape - August 5th, 2022
wow to everything! this is a huge update! So happy about selective merge. Now maybe I won't be so scared to create branches and merges on actual production work. Bezier curves! failed feature icon, so sweet sorting BOM, this is going to save me so much time checking my properties are filled in correctly! Partial Flanges,… -
Re: Issues with bolt and nut
This helps a bit but not quite what I was looking for. The important thing is that this is a foot. It needs to be flat on one side while still having the hex bolt head. It makes it a bit more complicated for me to make but it works. I also noticed that on both our bolts, the threads seem to almost "extrude" (don't think I… -
Missing step? Failure to create a reference to an imported derived part
To see a demo of this issue, please visit my Cubic Dice document, open the Cube Script tab, and click on the yellow FeatureScript Notices {!} icon near the centre at the top of the page. You'll see the warning "Variable DIE_PART_STUDIO not found", I have worked all the way through the Milk Crate Capstone project from… -
Mirror problem
Hey, When I try to mirror a part studio piece, it says that the mirror did not generate properly: boolean operation failed to return a valid part. Which is weird because I use the exact same method in another part (I split the piece in half via a removing extrusion so that I can mirror a simmetric counterpart). If someone… -
Re: Using qCapEntity with a manually generated body
Hmm... the loop through lastModifyingOperationIds doesn't sound very robust, since the last modifying operation isn't necessarily the one that created the face you need (even if you look at every individual face... for instance, a fillet modifies faces it didn't create and causes your check to fail). In general: There… -
Why am I having such difficulty just getting three sketches to completion?
I have been trying to generate some new parts from imported parts that were originally produced by Blender. These parts were very inaccurate in flatness and alignment and dimension. I was using points from these intending to extrude new, straight, flat aligned and accurate parts . Three weeks now and I have had continual… -
Getting an axle to follow a path
Hi, I'm trying to model something like a train track with left/right curves. I have the path centerline and the rails are extruded along the path. Now I want to assemble an axle with wheels onto the rails and have it properly follow the path. I have the wheel mated to the top of the rail with a Tangent Mate. But I'm… -
Linear Mass Custom Property via FeatureScript
I have successfully created a few lines of FeatureScript to take the volume of a 100mm long extrusion and output the volume per metre (including changing the units) using evVolume. I want to do the same thing with mass per metre, but it appears evApproximateMassProperties requires a hard-called density, even though the… -
Projected curve: Error regenerating
As practice, I'm trying to model a mini stapler from my desk. I started sketch the white "cross" on the back of the stapler, as seen from Top and Right. Now I'm trying to create a Projected curve between my two sketches, but I hit the problem "error regenerating", if I select all edges touching both white and pink areas… -
How do I replicate the Use/Project sketch functionality in FS code?
I am trying to write some FS code to flatten sloping faces as part of the cleanup of a 3D model to make it 2.5D for our router. For our purposes we just want pockets with all edges at 90 degrees so if we had a 45degree slope we would just "press it down" until it was flat. The perimeter of the pockets can be any profile…
