Re: AddInstance import issues with Configuration Table Part Studio
Hi @eric_ma454 When you say "Vector type", I am unsure of what you mean. A vector can hold a position OR a direction (based on whether it is a vector whose members have length units, or the members are unitless, respectively). In either case, this is not enough to fully define a transformation. Based on context, I assume… -

Fresnel Lens 3D model (rotationally symmetric spherical surfaces with a maximum sag from plane)

Hello, I am a very new user to OnShape and CAD in general, so bear with me as I try to explain what I am attempting to do. Firstly, a Fresnel lens is essentially a convex or concave lens with a defined thickness for each surface which when reached, the function defining the surface is set back to zero (essentially the… -
Re: Can this component be created using OnShape?

the 15.002 & 0.749 were not a part of the original design; the 0.001s were added at various places in order to allow the upload translation from ACIS to complete successfully. There seems to be a general problem with translating ACIS files -- not just here, but with several other ACIS translators -- that contain…
