Code review of feature script to create a wood joint
I am working on learning FS. I would appreciate any criticisms of the following code. Feel free to say this would be faster, would have made the coding process easier... Anything will be appreciated. Here is the code. The code creates a joints between parts. The user needs to select faces to have tabs, parts to be slotted,… -
Re: Within a Sketch, is there an easy way to see exactly why a line is blue?
I’m curious to know what program it is that allows a person to work in any fashion and or manner? Closest thing I found to that so far is Onshape. Just the other day somebody wanted to know how to do a knob with draft & ribs and instantly there’s four different ways. And like @mahir said, ‘there really is too many ways… -
Re: Losing references
The problem is that I have an "abstract image" of something, say a rectangular channel. I do it by creating a rectangle on one edge and doing a "remove" extrusion to the opposite face. Great. Now, I want to use the parameters of this rectangle by doing a "use" into another sketch. Great. Now I want to fillet the corners of… -
Re: tangent extruded hole fails
Thanks for the answer. It makes sense, and it's good to know that this is intended behavior rather than a bug. But there are still two things which trouble me. I think I'm getting into "flogging a dead horse" territory here, so most folks will just want to skip this. I should also emphasize that I *really* like Onshape,… -

Creating the main geometry/body of the bevel gear without the teeth by making a section sketch and revolving around an axis… -

Distanced Learning projects during lockdown with Onshape.
Now the academic year has finally ended, I have time to look back and reflect on the work my students have done in comparison to other years. In March 2020 my year 9 students were just begining a project where they would have ended up making a laser cut veneer inlay plywood box that would have been through 3 iterations.… -
Re: Can one move a part from one part studio to another within a document.
Jonathon- I tend to use parasolids binary because it's the smallest file size between step & parasolids. Both work fine. STEP is an international standard so there's nothing wrong with using it except for file size. When I got started inside OS I did exactly what you are doing. Turns out I had to flip my own geometry as… -
