Re: Essential Training Multipart tutorial, stuck on midplane [w/ screenshots]
@daniel_chow To answer your earlier question about why a midplane was specified rather than simply an extrusion distance, it's about capturing design intent. The designer intends that a number of elements will be symmetrical about the midplane of the clamp (particularly the pairs of plates and the ends of the pins). For… -
Re: Feature manager tree wishlist
Thanks for the feedback, there are some great ideas here. We have been discussing being able to use tagging in the Feature List so that you can identify and recall features more easily. This has the advantage of being more flexible and scalable than folders especially since features would not need to be contiguous in the… -
Re: Add Pocket-Hole in Assembly to other Part?
Thank you for your tips and help. They have helped me a lot. I have completely redesigned the workbench and made it configurable. But it is not finished yet. Now I have two more problems/questions:* In the configuration, I use a scaling divisor for simple size changes, e.g., 10 for 1:10. The divisor appears in every… -
Re: laser joint tool
Hi @Mr_Hubbard I did not make this script---all credit goes to @lemon1324! As for the allowance value: that is how much the faces are offset. So, if you had a part that was made perfectly, and the allowance is 0, then you would have no gap at all. A positive allowance adds extra space, for example for wood glue. A negative… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - February 12th, 2021
I don't like the new placement of the version/comment buttons. It robs usable screen area and makes looking into version history more difficult. Having an extra 1/2" of the screen taken up for 3 buttons doesn't really make sense to me. I'm also a user that keeps the left side tabs menu open all the time, I never use the… -
Re: How do I scale skText in-situ from featurescript?
You can control the text position and size by adding the following to the definition map: "firstCorner" : vector( xPosition, yPosition), "secondCorner" : vector(xPosition+1*inch, yPosition + textHeight) Substitute the desired variable or value for xPosition, yPosition, and textHeight. Note that skText always starts from… -
Re: Forget the Parametry
I think we should have the choice!!! To design new things, it's easier un direct modeling (just take a look at Ptc Creo Elements direct modeling or Ironcad). There are no parameters or contraint in sketch. 3d parts are stretched like un 2d cad... If you have to built tour machine more than once with small change parametric… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - November 12th, 2019
Hi Neil. Gotcha, thanks, appreciate the tutorial. :+1:My layout was a bit of both, all the standard icons fit without drop-downs but the 50-odd FS icons were in a group. After "unpacking" the FS group as you describe all worked as expected.A couple of observations:- (a) Adding them all back one a time was a bit tedious,… -
Frame Tooling 2.0
So I started to create a product with the frame tool with the intention of creating a series of similar products. However once I started getting into PLM (OpenBOM) in this case. I realized that designing in this way would not be scalable. Since only the composite part is inserted into the assembly OpenBOM would only import… -
Instantiation within a function?
I'm modifying a custom feature. Instead of having the feature pattern a part, I would like it to create instantiations of a part. The feature uses a pattern operation inside a function. I replaced the pattern operation with an instantiator, but I get an error saying the instantiator transform needs to be a function.…
