Re: Can anyone help me build a simple frame out of 2x4s?
@HouseOfBreadCrumbs You might consider some industrial shelving, provided you have a car that isn’t to wide. I have some industrial shelving. It’s very sturdy. It doesn’t rack or sway when I push on it. The end frames are welded. And I can assemble or break it down to move to the next location within minutes Provided your… -
Re: Iterative modeling in separate documents without versioning
The moving part studios between documents actually may be decent solution in some of these cases, though if the part studio has references in its original document as well it may require moving back and forth repeatedly. To clarify, I typically design a single model size (1 of the 14) in its own document, so that doc would… -
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: In Part/assembly properties allow part number to be a formula
you can do this today very easily with featurescript. I've done something like this before so it renumbered my entire project. Basically for the fields here you jut make variables Here is some base code to get you started: FeatureScript 1403; import(path : "onshape/std/geometry.fs", version : "1403.0"); annotation {… -
Re: Querying for the [other] part given two faces that touch each other? (with one face from each part)
Two things: First, there are half-decent ways of getting the entity you want in this specific scenario, but second, the geometry in the general case may be unfriendly to this kind of search, so you may be better off not relying on the search succeeding. To form the query: evDistance is probably the best tool for the job. A… -
Re: Editing feature definitions in a body after it has been scaled
@christian_campbell YOU SAID — I propose that whenever you scale a body/part, Onshape automatically scales the feature definitions too. Onshape can do that. Use a variable, or a number of variables, to do your scaling. You can use one variable to scale your entire part. Or, you can use a variable to scale along the X,… -
Standard Selection Interface
I have found multiple posts on this going back years and no change from onshape. Onshape should have a mode to change selection behavior for selecting multiple items from toggle to ctrl/shift + click. There are two big drivers for why you would want to use the keyboard to select multiple items. 1) The vast majority of all… -
Re: Assembly Update Context - Help?
@billy2 Let me clarify when I use derive over in-context or single part studio. 1) Stop single part studio if there are more than a (5 ish) parts (more or less depending on complexity) 2) You can start noticing slower regen times (it's probably too late, and you should break things up) 3) There are too many in-context… -
Re: Rotating with mouse issue
@Ts, I'm copying over your comment from the "feature requests" thread: Ts said: The mouse rotation behavior drives me up the wall. Everything feels topsy turvey like its spinning on too many axises when I move the mouse around. Often I feel like I'm just fighting the camera, and swirling my mouse around to upright my view.… -
Re: How do we create accurate sketches from API or imports or?
Whenever airfoils come up - I feel compelled to write something :) Here at Onshape, there are two people with advanced degrees in Aeronautical Engineering - I am one of them. All the questions listed in this thread come up form time to time and whilst I am not making policy statements here, I can give some insight into why…
