Re: Helix and sweep question(s)
There are several ways you could do this. Eric suggested one, here is another approach you could take: * Create a helix surface so that you can split the face of your part. In this case you will need a slight work around: you will need two helix surfaces right beside each other so the helixes can split the main face into… -
Re: Extrude from lines or Offset line from center; Architectural drafting
Extrude is free in Onshape. Onshape is free if you are using it for hobby purposes. If you are using it for business purposes, you will need to purchase a pro subscription. Here is the best place to learn how to use all of these neat Onshape features: Onshape Learning Center What @steve_shubin said is good, the extrude… -
Re: Array Parameter ID's/Names
If you use #innerParameterName as your Item label template, (i.e. #parts), you can derive the template from an inner parameter in order to get behavior similar to the Loft Feature. This is described in the documentation here. It's also possible that things may number themselves automatically in the desired way if you… -
Re: Which mate i must use for v-slot profile and wheel
Hi. Yes indeed, I'm very much in favour of adding custom explicit mate connectors in studios so they're ready to go once in the assembly. (i hope in due course we can script the creation assemblies so we import parts with predefined mate points have them assemble themselves into place.) The offset is one reason I'm… -
Re: For Loop For Dummies
Thanks, Neil! I'm more interested in the exercise than the results, so I'd really appreciate input on doing it with featurescript. The image I showed is my own model, so I know I can accomplish it with standard features anyway. That Pretty Patterns doc has some interesting stuff though and I did work through setting mine… -
Re: Linear pattern in one dimension?
Concerning X-value, this is a bug which appeared in last update. It has been reported and will hopefully get quickly fixed and pushed into production asap. I was able to reproduce the Y-value bug also. If changed before accepting sketch pattern, also value '1' can be inserted. But if you try to modify after clicking LMB to… -
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 :…
