Re: What is the "proper" way to design a multi piece design with intertwined constraints
With the state of the system now, I can see two approaches: 1. Just make a Variable Studio and keep all relevant dimensions there. Changing a variable in there propagates the change to all Part Studios and Assemblies in the workspace. 2. The more Onshapey way: the top-level consumer is the Assembly, so it makes sense to… -
Variable Studio Drop Down Organization
Hey all, I like to use the variable studio a lot but i wish that there were some better options for organization. For example, many times I have variable lists that contain height and width depth for a bunch of different features. It would be wonderful for ease of exploration if we could group these variables together… -
Re: Creating multiple parts that vary only in input variables?
Configurations will be a way to do it, but in the meantime, a feature pattern that includes a variable could work, though it's a bit tricky/obscure. Basically your feature list would look something like this: 1. Set variable #index = -1 2. Set variable #index = #index + 1 3. Set variable #width = [12 in, 16 in, 14 in, 15… -
Distributing a series of parts
I have created a design for a large box, the bottom of the box is made up of thirteen boards that are spaced out across the width of the box. The box has a mate connector aligned with a rabbet across the boxes’ width. I then have 13 parts (the boards) matched to the same mate connector using a slider mate. This allows me… -

skRectangle error when part's rotated
Hi there. I have a script that generates mortice and tenon joinery however I have some problems. It works fine if the parts face that the tenon protrudes from is aligned with the x axis. The problem is when it aligns with the y axis. How I have got it to work so far is the user selects two adjacent faces and then the… -

How to grab part's dimensions?
Hi guys, I'm designing cabinets, plinths and load of different wood structures. Most of the models contain flat square cut panels,, with general thicknesses from 6mm to 18mm. Usually about 20-30 panels 1 design. I'm looking for an option to make a cut list. As I'm not using the beams/frames option, can't really grab the… -
Re: Sheet Metal - The missing step (for me!)
Hi @peter_cuthbert , I just looked into your file, and I believe you are just making it more complicated than it is. With sheet metal, I'd always avoid sharp angled pointy parts and rather go for the beefy shapes. Keep in mind that while bending, the bending bench's jaw needs a certain width contact area, to hold the part… -
I cannot recreate the front of this boat
No matter how many sketches, extrusions, chamfers, etc. I've done, I cannot seem to recreate the front of this boat. The front of the boat in the image has a skinny mid section that goes from the top edge of the boat to the bottom whereas my CAD model's mid section increases in width as it goes towards the bottom. I've…
