Gear Lab - Cylindrical, Bevel, Face Gears
Yup, it's another custom feature for gears. I had previously used Neil Cooke's excellent 'Spur Gear' feature [Link], but I wanted the ability to generate bevel and face gears as well. I only learned about Bob Tipton's great bevel gear FS after I had nearly finished this. I fear that my "Gear Lab" custom feature is largely… -
Re: Better way to make a whiffle ball?
@josh_smith_, very nice work on this model! I've got a couple thoughts that you might consider. In Sketch 1 it appears that your design intent is to specify the diameter of this ball, whereas Onshape dimensions arcs radially. There are ways to bend Onshape to your will. Anytime you create a center-line (dashed construction… -
Re: Improving Lofting
@raino_paananen ; I've tried making the same number of sectors on the start and finish profiles of the copy I took of your model, and it has actually "fixed" the problem, in the sense that the loft is now symmetrical, AND it conforms to all the information you have supplied it with. The problem for you is that the inferred… -
How to choose a vector and draw a simple circle in FS?
I am building a feature to create a tabbed slot. It's a hole cut through with a rectangle inside it. It mates with an extrusion with a tab on either side. You fit these parts together and give them 1/4 turn and they lock together. btw, I'm not new to programming. I've been a developer for years now but this live query… -
Re: Consolidating pieces of your workflow into robust and simple features
Yes, you can create mate connectors. The function you're looking for is opMateConnector, in geomOperations. You need a coordSystem to tell it where to go, and a query for the body to attach it to (likely a qCreatedBy). The answer to creating identical parts will be a bit more long-winded =) There are a few strategies in… -
Re: Can anyone help me build a simple frame out of 2x4s?
@HouseOfBreadCrumbs You might consider some industrial shelving, provided you have a car that isn’t to wide. I have some industrial shelving. It’s very sturdy. It doesn’t rack or sway when I push on it. The end frames are welded. And I can assemble or break it down to move to the next location within minutes Provided your… -
Onshape enhancement wish list
As Onshape grows here are my wish list enhancements. What's yours? Mine is mostly sheet metal. Here is my list for sheet metal features needed in no specific order: * When getting the call out for the bend direction have the ability to select inside or outside of the complimentary angle you would need to have listed. We… -
Re: CAM for sheet goods/routers, what do you want?
From the metal cutting side, here are some items that I would look for. 1. Full cloud enabled that works in Onshape. Have direct link so CAM updates as models update. 2. Able to create code for the large production metal cutting manufacturers (We have Trumpf for laser, Flow for waterjet, Messer for plasma) 3. Automatic…
