Re: Bodies define geometry, entities are the instantiation of bodies !?!?
I agree that this stuff is not intuitiive -- I guess I've been working in this mental model for so long that I've forgotten that a bit. I don't think what you describe is still quite the right mental model. Let me try to explain and migrate what useful parts come out into documentation. We have four entity types: vertices,… -
Re: Long regen times for text extrudes
The method of dividing up your sketches preferred. Otherwise your sketch will get ever slower during modification of the sketch. Text is know to be slow. But 12 seconds seems excessive for the extrude. How many sketches are there? we see 52 just in this screen shot. you may conciser sub-dividing your part studios into… -
Re: Having a problem with a circular pattern
@paul_bartlett The rib is there inside each repetition of the pattern, it is just overshadowed by the previous pattern repetition: If you want the rib to show between each vertical segment, I would first get rid of the mirror (you are not using it anyway), and then decrease the number of pattern instances to accurately… -
Re: Improvement requests category has launched - Voting open
@lougallo Thanks for putting all this work in! It's great to have a community visible way to share our needs and priorities with Onshape. I think I understand how the improvement requests voting works now. It goes a long way towards reducing duplicate improvement requests. Like @dennis_20 I see no reason why to not vote… -
Re: How to use Onshape drawing to export to Inkscape to ultimately laser-cut parts?
I just came across this post but I have the answer. This is how you can convert the drawing to a .SVG file for software like K40 Whisperer. 1: Once you create the sketch in Onshape, while still in the editor but completed the sketch. Look at the part tree on the left. Right Click on the sketch you would like to bring over… -
Re: Instantiating a library
I just updated this tech briefing to take into account composite parts and replace assembly. It is definitely targeted more towards getting data into Onshape for the start of your library: https://learn.onshape.com/learn/article/best-practices-for-managing-custom-libraries One thing I've been experimenting with some… -
Re: What is a "root-level mate connector"?
Yes, I am fully aware the effect "Snap Mode" has during the process of inserting an instance that contains Mate Connectors (MC). I still hold the view the mating process is not automatic with Snap Mode on. Essentially, the value of "Snap Mode" during inserting an instance just streamlines the process of creating fastened… -

Faster Patterns
In the recent update (May 4th, 2018) we modified how Feature Patterns work to improve performance. We didn't shout about it in the forum post, but some of you discovered it anyway! The new option is called "Apply per instance" which, by default, is off. When this option is selected, Feature Pattern works the way it always… -
Re: tangent mate for mating cylinder with intersecting planes.
Ok - I wanted this one because it's a great learning opportunity - that's a euphemism for 'complex'! :) That means that you my reader will have to follow carefully and ask any questions. Let's start at the end - i have built a working solution. I have no idea if this is exactly what you're looking for, but then again i am…
