Frame Tooling 2.0
So I started to create a product with the frame tool with the intention of creating a series of similar products. However once I started getting into PLM (OpenBOM) in this case. I realized that designing in this way would not be scalable. Since only the composite part is inserted into the assembly OpenBOM would only import… -
Re: laser joint tool
Hi @Mr_Hubbard I did not make this script---all credit goes to @lemon1324! As for the allowance value: that is how much the faces are offset. So, if you had a part that was made perfectly, and the allowance is 0, then you would have no gap at all. A positive allowance adds extra space, for example for wood glue. A negative… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - February 12th, 2021
I don't like the new placement of the version/comment buttons. It robs usable screen area and makes looking into version history more difficult. Having an extra 1/2" of the screen taken up for 3 buttons doesn't really make sense to me. I'm also a user that keeps the left side tabs menu open all the time, I never use the… -
Re: Forget the Parametry
I think we should have the choice!!! To design new things, it's easier un direct modeling (just take a look at Ptc Creo Elements direct modeling or Ironcad). There are no parameters or contraint in sketch. 3d parts are stretched like un 2d cad... If you have to built tour machine more than once with small change parametric… -
Re: How do I scale skText in-situ from featurescript?
You can control the text position and size by adding the following to the definition map: "firstCorner" : vector( xPosition, yPosition), "secondCorner" : vector(xPosition+1*inch, yPosition + textHeight) Substitute the desired variable or value for xPosition, yPosition, and textHeight. Note that skText always starts from… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - November 12th, 2019
Hi Neil. Gotcha, thanks, appreciate the tutorial. :+1:My layout was a bit of both, all the standard icons fit without drop-downs but the 50-odd FS icons were in a group. After "unpacking" the FS group as you describe all worked as expected.A couple of observations:- (a) Adding them all back one a time was a bit tedious,… -
Instantiation within a function?
I'm modifying a custom feature. Instead of having the feature pattern a part, I would like it to create instantiations of a part. The feature uses a pattern operation inside a function. I replaced the pattern operation with an instantiator, but I get an error saying the instantiator transform needs to be a function.… -
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: Assembly Configurations - ability to set Global Variables
@_anton actually, I'm not proposing that Assembly Config would modify the global variable. What I am proposing is that it control/modify all the parts in the assembly that are built using a global variable, but ONLY apply it within the scope of that specific assembly. I believe this is what S1mon was saying. But just to… -
Re: Suggestions requested for design drawing approach
It's hard to explain everything, but here are a few key things: * Try to identify the key features in the design that need to stay the same: pivot points, latching features, widths of features. As you mentioned it doesn't need to be as detailed. * Try to layout those key elements in schematic sketches on the default…
