"Enterprise"
It's sad that changes in the "free" plan have overshadowed the announcement of "Enterprise". As a 30 year veteran in the CAD industry, I feel this "Enterprise" is the most progressive CAD concept dropped on the engineering community since the beginning of CAD. It's truly a new cloud concept. This is the 1st time engineers… -
How can I assign a LookUp Table result to variable when both live in an array?
There's a good chance I'm over complicating this but when I tuck a lookup table inside an array, I'm having issues assigning its resulting value to a variable that lives in the array. This variable would then be used 'globally' to drive a sketch, feature, etc. I've edited the standing Onshape lookup table example below:… -
Re: FeatureScript: Version control identification
So we run and release FS within our Enterprise. We have an admin who releases the FS and that release will be the version that is then pushed to the Enterprise toolbar. So there four scenarios in which this need came about: 1. If there is an issue with a FS, I am contacted and there times where I am given view only access… -
Re: How to Mate Ball Detent Mechanism?
The problem with ball detents is that there is a mechanical singularity when the ball is in the groove: it is tangent at multiple places. Assembly motion solvers don't like dealing with this sort of stuff, so you need to smooth it out to prevent the singularity from being a bother. This means making the radius larger and… -
Re: What is an OS Design Workflow Supposed to Look Like
I think it depends on a lot of details also. It's good that you're asking the question. I typically think in terms of an assembly and the datums that'll control the design intent for whatever I'm designing. OS is a parametric modeler and should be able to handle change. But remember you have to set it up correctly. I'm not… -
Re: Why are instanced sketches not included in the assembly's BOM?
@matthew_stacy, @konstantin_shiriazdanov My rationale for wanting to add non-geometrical items to my assy BOM was to record the need for dispensable consumables critical to the assemblies function. I was modeling an outdoor wood product and during the design I wanted to record the use of a specific wood preservative and… -

Re: How to Mate motor to mounting plate (compounded mates?)?
Ok, first I want to appologize for this long post that will follow. I managed to do it the following way: 1) created the revolute mate between one hole on the motor front plate and one of the mounting bracket holes in the CoffeCore tab=> motor is placed accordingly and its position is reset from the arbitrary angle I… -
Re: oauth what is it?
An Onshape app requires something called oauth to allow your website to talk to their servers. Here's the oauth code used on my new site. To see this work, cut the url address below and paste it into your browser. 1. It starts with the web address and in my case its: https://rndengineering.com/pro/ 2. There's no parameters… -
Re: move multipart or subassemblies on assemblies as a whole unit without re-mating
Groups I tend to have a 'fixed' group, then I group parts that stay together when they move. Lets say I have 4 things that move in an assy, 1 is a fixed group and the others are grouped with mate connectors controlling the position of the groups. Typically things that move are made up of many parts. I'm constantly adding…
