Re: A proven process and resources to prototype using as many purchaseable components as possible
I agree with @S1mon on A and B. Mcmaster even has CAD models that you can download and import into onshape. C and D - These two are hard to address because your questions are still pretty general and you're basically asking, "How do I design things?". If you have more concrete examples, we could provide more specific… -
Re: Philadelphia Onshape User Group meeting tomorrow - Surfacing
I have learned new skills and productivity tips at every OS user group meeting that I have attended, and this one certainly did not disappoint. Thanks Vince! Your expert insight into surface modeling was incredibly helpful for me. Using Delete-Face and Enclose to dance back and forth between solids and surfaces was… -
Re: Internal key slot in cylinder
Here is another way of doing this. As Neil mentioned, you cannot sketch on a curved surface. BUT you can start a new sketch on an OFFSET PANE that touches the curved surface. Here's how: Step 1: Find the diameter of your shaft, D/2 = radius which will be the distance of the offset pane. Step 2: Create a new pane offset to… -
Re: Side project : 3d printed camera sreen loupe (public project)
Finished printing the first iteration, the hinge design did not work out at all, I underestimated the needed clearance for the printing process. So I worked on a different simpler design (V2 now) Also the Arca Swiss plate design I found online was not working out with the clamps I own so I had to increase the dovetail… -
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… -
Edit Assembly Connections
I need help navigating the Onshape UI... I have a situation where I had to change the length of an assembly member. Normally - in parametric CAD software - I would expect that the following assembly members would react to the change. Because I had defined the connections randomly, this assembly model did not react… -
Ways to clean up version tree/branches
I want to get some feedback from the community on this issue. Maybe we need to adjust our workflow. I've got a fairly large document with a couple dozen parts and we've been trying to follow a GIT workflow where we create branches for design changes. Once we're happy with the changes, we merge back into our development… -
The TransientId for a newly created plane. (Onshape API)
Hi Everybody. I want to create an extrude feature by using Onshape Api. So, there is a great example at Depeloper portal (Feature list API -> Example 3). But there is a way that describes how to create sketch on the pre-defined front plane. What about creating the custom one? As far as I understand, I have to get the… -
