Re: Printing Dimensions Drawings of Parts
I’m an early ProE adopter. As a drawing board draftsmen I started with it at 1990 and still use Creo. I remember the wonderment of making a drawing by arranging projected views generated by the system and “pulling” all the dimensions (at once) with their tolerances into the drawing. That was revolutionary at that time. And… -
Re: Showing the correct orientation on an assembly
@rick_chapman, Change rotation angle in view properties Rotation angle: All views, when created, have a rotation angle of 0 degrees. You can change this value only if the view has no parent (is not a 'child'), is not a parent (has no 'children'), or if the alignment with a parent is broken. Valid values are between -360… -
Re: Why is it not possible to "Derive" a part from "Standard content"?
@pete_yodis Regarding what I was trying to accomplish... I wanted to create a variant of a #8-32 truss head screw so it could be inserted through a narrow rectangular slot, rotated 90 degrees to grip the underside of the slot. I shortened the length to reflect what had to be done to the 1" long screws I had on hand. I do a… -
Re: STLWorkbench : Heals STL files and writes data directly in Onshape
What’s New in STL Workbench November 10, 2016 This document describes new feature addition to STL Workbench. The most significant changes to this update are listed below: 1. Export to Onshape: STL files can now be exported to Onshape from STL Workbench. In the right corner of toolbar, you will find new Import to Onshape… -
Re: InStep STL import alternative
apearce, I'm going to go ahead and comment on a few of the items you raised, even if a bit late. The application is not a cloud app - simply because that is difficult to do and forces the cost to be higher. The desktop model allows all the CPU resources to be your own, the cloud app requires this to be done on something… -
Some more observations
Thought I would try to use Onshape tonight to model up something that we had an enquiry about on Friday afternoon - so consider this a live job of what I would likely use Onshape for in its current form - modelling up something that has been mulling in my head for a day or so, just to see if it is actually viable. Bear in… -
Brad's Tech Advice: Company Set Up Series - Part 2: Top-level Company & Folder Organization
When moving to Onshape from another CAD platform the first few things to consider are company organization, project structure and design workflows. Since Onshape is not file-based it will help to pre-plan before getting right into the design process. We have found that companies that take the time to whiteboard out their… -
Re: Significant difficulties transitioning from NX
Thanks for the video. Overall, yes, onshape doesn't have a clear bottom-up or top-down workflow. It can function really well in either way (or even some hybrid). One of the challenges with onshape's learning curve is understanding all the different options and when to use each. As an alternative to the Wave links, have you… -
Re: Does Onshape have a referral program?
> It is so easy to create 100 email accounts these days that I'm afraid it would be exploited 1. They could ban 'non-work' / free hosted email accounts from generating the reward. 2. The majority of people probably wouldn't bother 3. It could be capped at something sensible in any case, like DropBox did. 4. How much does… -
Re: How do you bring numbers in as a precondition
@mahir I may be misunderstanding your question, but 'varX is typeX' cannot be used to check geometry types of queries, it can only be used to check what type a FeatureScript variable is. To answer the second part of your question in detail, you can't have 'evX() is X' without declaring 'canBeX()'. Here's an example: export…
