Configuration of 1 table to multiple tables
I fear I've discovered a dilemma that will bite us down the road if there isn't a solution (which I fear may be the case). With configurations, you have the option to use one table, or more than one. If you use one table, it can quickly cascade into a lot of rows and columns. To condense it, you start with adding those… -
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: Query a face created by opExtrude
Unfortunately, that was just an error when I was copying over my code to the post. Maybe it doesn't work because I created the rectangle first with skRectangle, then added a line to track with skLine? This is the function which I'm calling to do this, note that some regions are commented out function genCChannel(context is… -
Re: Scaling model before or during 3D printing
One problem with scaling down something so large as a full-size locomotive into the work envelope of a 3D printer is that the printer resolution may not be fine enough to actually print all of your features. For example, most printers use a 0.4 mm nozzle, which prints a layer (wall) thickness of roughly 0.4 mm. If a… -
Re: How to 'machine' an assembly?
I would disagree on this, I created a part studio that generate alupanel board of any dimensions, you just have to give it the width, height, and thickness of the product that you need. This has then all the correct part number, vendor and color for this product. Then once this is inserted in an assembly, how do you make… -
Re: What mates should I use for a Reuleaux triangle rotation?
@philip_thomas - Thanks for the encouragement! I believe @mbartlett21 was trying to answer my contemplation of whether it could be done without an external cam with his example. It's great that we get to use this opportunity to learn from you the pitfall behind tangent mates and get a better understanding of the cad system… -
Re: Edit Part inside an assembly
@Traveler_Hauptman You might be right, I have thought I could create all my 'assemblies' in just part studio. But if I make a change in any of parts in same studio, it will always regenerate all parts. And all features would be in one long list - not too much fun to navigate. Later there will be also part behaviour in… -
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… -
Using Part Studio Configurations in an assembly
This is something I'm sure I am missing, but I have spent enough time looking for the solution on my own and it is time to ask for help. I am trying to create a configurable table or workbench - whatever. It is just a configuration training exercise for me but it might turn into a shop project. I have defined height,… -
How to draw this part?
Hi everyone. I'm trying to recreate this brazed plate heat exchanger: https://www.onda-it.com/media/1713/How-a-Plate-Heat-Exchanger-Works-Onda-SpA_2020.pdf (or something very much like it), and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. The end goal is to be able to do CFD on it, so the model has to hold up for…
