OnShape Rescales Entire Sketch When One Dimension is Added
I find it very inconvenient/annoying that when I start a sketch with some unconstrained lines (e.g. a rectangle), it rescales the entire sketch when the first dimension is added. For example I draw a rectangle of approximately the right width, height and position with respect to other features, and then want to add… -
Looking for help with joining two parts in the part studio.
I'm trying to join these two objects together. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/adc6911ef00f114a689d7f9b/w/fde1971d456ead097b0f27d0/e/9ee9bc2946511f1e5f1c7609 In essence it is a cookie cutter. I have received some help in the past but still struggling to understand the concepts. I want to join them on the rim/underside of… -
Trying to do a slot inside a frame
Okay so I have a very basic issue but i'm rather new to this software, I wish to do a frame, the sketch (lets assume is top plane) is as such: 2 rectangles one inside the other, the first extrude makes it all expand, lets say .05 the second extrude expands only the perimeter between the two, lets say .1, then I have a… -
Bug in FeatureScript sample "Brick"
Hello, i already described the issue in https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/6774/lego-dimensions-incorrect but as it seems to be the incorrect forum, noone answered. i printed some individual Lego parts for my son and face some incorrect dimensions with larger column counts. It seems the script uses 7.8 mm for the… -
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: 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: 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: 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…
