Re: Dealing with employers
True, Onshape does have a slight stigma to the unknowing. They assume because it's not AutoDesk, SolidWorks, or Unigraphics it must be a toy. I have been trying to convince the people at my work that it is better than what they "think" a web browser app can be for the last couple years. They are impressed at the speed I… -
Re: How to make Replicate and Assembly Patterns awesome
@malay_kumar 2. Could you recognize the underlying hole? I don't see any other convenient way than mating to edge between hole and part surface (otherwise it would need offset to keep things in place) 3. I was thinking this one while writing IR for being able to create user library of hole groups and sketch shape groups in… -
Re: Is There a Way To 'Roll Back' an Assembly?
I am not exactly sure what you're trying to do - BUT . . . . If you have a complex assembly and you're trying to troubleshoot an overly complex mating strategy - here are some suggestions. 1) Assembly figs would likely not be of much help. Figs have been in other products for a while and no one uses them to troubleshoot… -
Re: Roadmap of improvements/updates
@lougallo Thank you, I'll have a look at the improvement list. @bradley_sauln I use Creo every day and sometimes SW. Things I use on a regular base and miss in OS are: Global modeling: * Array of variables more insightful e.g. like Family tables (Creo) or Configs (SW). OS' array of variables are hard to use with big… -
Re: Working offline with local workspace and cache
This would only work for non-shared documents. Or by creating new version for every offline session. But Onshape PR is all about being the first 'Cloud only' cad, isn't that the reason why we all are here? Why would we wan't to change that since we already have plenty of offline cads which can sync files with dropbox or… -
Re: Advanced: using Release Management (PDM) AND a PLM system side-by-side
Hi @andres_dandler, It's helpful to me to read your description of the system you're using. It does sound very similar, except or system relies on killing more trees. To answer your questions: * In our process, we sometimes use the terms ECN and ECO interchangeably. So, really, I should have used "ECN". Before anything is… -
Re: I'm the company admin. How do I set company templates for our drawings?
I think OS scans your documents and makes all DWT's available to company users. At least it's working for me. -I have a company defined -When creating a drawing ' My Onshape' only contains these DWT's I've created. No need to switch to custom templates. I didn't have to share. Maybe because I have a company setup, everyone… -
Re: dissolve composite part in an assembly
@rune_thorsen229 Composite parts work well when you download a part from a vendor which is a mess and you want to clean it up. You can easily take 15 parts & 3 surfaces and make them behave as one. But, they do become one. This is a huge concept. Sub-assemblies allow motion and instancing. They can be a better… -
Re: Collaboration on a real-life design project?
Dries- Not sure where I should be responding and hope your project isn't under an NDA. I've been capturing my thoughts when opening your documents and trying to understand how we should collaborate. I was going to post here for the world to see, or, should we make it private? I'm not going to post any images until I hear… -
Re: Having trouble with a loft/sweep function and cannot figure it out.
Guides need to exactly touch the profiles that are being used and are only done locally. This loft has two issues: 1) The guide (sketch 18) doesn't touch the end profile (sketch 16) correctly. I updated sketch 16 by removing the two external points I then saw that the vertical line was off of the face of the edge. I had to…
