Re: Parts Per Studio
hi @shai_perednik actually there is no such rule for how many parts should be in one part studio. Generally if someone need to design some of the parts in a product with high level of accuracy while assembling together then it is always best practice to create in one part studio. With this practice one can create common… -
Re: How do I turn off orthographic view?
I can definitely see both sides of this issue. In reality, people perceive everything in perspective, so modeling it orthogonally is weird. That said, it's difficult to see if things are straight or aligned when they're in perspective. I even used to turn off aliasing of the lines so I could see if curves were going up or… -
Re: Importing multiple individual step files into a single parts studio
Thanks Shawn for the reply - ill try the last suggestion you made and see if i can get it to work. Sorry for not posting the public link https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5782e53fe4b0b7679dbf9f2c/w/b62de756a6f06dfc82b8fcef/e/39b83a3ecc27aa007ba7b3a2 Hopefully this is the right one. The students i am looking to use this… -
Re: BoundSpec Declarations
In previous versions of FeatureScript, there used to be two different concepts: A UI min/max, which would control how dialogs "clamp" to values when out-of-bounds values were typed, and a FeatureScript min/max, which is the actual max/min value that the feature would accept before throwing a precondition failure. About a… -
Re: Aerofoil Profile Scripts
Hi @david_fisher031, sorry for the late response. I copied over your project and it seems I had problems when going the opposite direction i.e. on the first project I couldn't multi rib the other wing. This is a silly error and I hope to get time to fix this shortly, in the meantime, however, I found if you assign the… -
Re: Hey FeatureScripters - What would you like to see in an advanced FeatureScript tutorial?
I would like to go over best practices for reducing regeneration in FS while maintaining stability. On a similar note, going over UI and how that can affect the regeneration as this is an issue with at least one of my current FS. This would also include the images in the UI. i have had the images before for a length field… -
Re: Sizes in sketches
@brian_jordan Here’s a summary of Nicola’s post * Nicola can’t enter dimensions and constraints on the fly when sketching elements * Fewer clicks is better * Can’t endorse because of #1 & #2 * You should look at Fusion * A Fusion polygon GIF loops Next I read your post where basically you said - Yeah Onshape does… -
Re: Planes in Assembly
Dan - in the meantime, please checkout this Technical Briefing (its really good :) ) . . . https://learn.onshape.com/learn/article/mating-basics One point about things 'floating away in space' - I only hear this about 10 times a day. Here is the reason - "A 'fix' only applies to the level of assembly in which the fix is… -
Re: How to deal with projects
@ben_partouch, @_anton I don't mean to hi-jack this thread. Typically with Onshape I design motorcycle parts which don't require much structure and I do it solo. I'm helping some friends build a product and the project is at the ground floor. I have never been one for letting engineers do what ever they want and I lock… -
Re: [FeatureScript] Creating randomized voids in order to strengthen 3D prints
I agree with the issue of spheres being not the best shape. As 3D prints are very not isotropic and layer shear is one of the big issues when parts can be loaded in random directions. I'd think this method might be deceptive as adding internal holes would potentially trigger different settings for most printers about an…
