Re: Liebeck and Benzing profiles
Here's how I would approach it: 1. Get profile from http://airfoiltools.com/airfoil/details?airfoil=l1003-il 2. Clean up the data with this Processing script: void setup() { String[] file = loadStrings("input.txt"); for (int i = 0; i < file.length; i++) { file[i] = trim(file[i]); // remove trailing whitespace file[i] =… -
Re: In "Onshape" speak, what is the definition of "workspace", and what is "main" all about?
I have studied your initial response, read the Data Management section in On-line Help and read the referenced Blog post. I think I have a much better understanding of how Onspace does data management to facilitate collaborative concurrent design. It is radically, different that anything that have used in other CAD… -
Re: Section View in Chrome went to black background after NVIDIA card installation
I has taken a few hours to accomplish, but here is the story: Upon following the installation instructions, at the point of installing the drivers from the NVIDIA installation CD, the screen went blank and after 5 minutes or more, I finally forced Windows 10 quit, and re-booted. The display drivers were seemingly… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - August 20th, 2019
@bradley_sauln A most excellent written Tech-Tip; one of the best I have ever read. I get the sense the impetus for writing the Tech Tip was to address frequent user problems which are solved by creating sketch plane using an MC. I went back and checked my e-mail to see if received notice of its publication; yes I did, but… -
My list of what's missing.
I just finished a job for a client that would have been a good test for Onshape. No existing CAD already in use. A minimal set of output information to communicate. But the capability to communicate the info I needed to just wasn't there. Bummer. I have a list on my whiteboard of the features I'm waiting for before I am… -
Faster Patterns
In the recent update (May 4th, 2018) we modified how Feature Patterns work to improve performance. We didn't shout about it in the forum post, but some of you discovered it anyway! The new option is called "Apply per instance" which, by default, is off. When this option is selected, Feature Pattern works the way it always… -
Pro tip: Maintaining security when using share-via-link
The new share-via-link feature is something that I've been waiting for a long time and I suspect some of the others using Onshape professionally have been as well. Finally when that busy client or vendor needs to see one part of the design or another I can send him a simple link that he can look at. The feature, while… -
Advanced: using Release Management (PDM) AND a PLM system side-by-side
Hello all, This might be a little advanced for some, but I hope it triggers a good discussion that I can learn from. We are are medical device company and we use a PLM system (Propel) company-wide to release documents officially (not just drawings, but ALL company documents, down to purchase orders and employee training… -
Re: Sub-Assemblies
Reviving this as I have a challenging project that is kicking me around. Mainly problems working through mating with top level and sub-assemblies. @billy2 Thanks for your explanations (the website is really clear), sample doc, and the user group demo last night. Also @alnis_smidchens @john_mcclary get a shout out for posts… -
Re: New Onshape Logo
Some of you guys sure read a lot into a logo. Almost like it was an Ouija board or something. Let me be frank. Jon Hirschtick commands immense respect and has immense power within PTC. I've said many times publicly that I see Jon Hirschtick and John McEleney (and their team) as legends in CAD, and I'm beyond happy to have…
