Draw for Hire Forum? Modeling Competition to Spec? Modeling Brokerage?
There are some ideas that I don't have time to model but need as components. We need something like Dice supported by Onshape so I could put ideas I want modeled out for people to Bid or compete on? EG: The Ebay of drawing services. On similar sites for software is either somebody posts a prize such as $25 and they get to… -
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… -
Re: Extrude From (Starting Position)
I got a chance to play with ruled surfaces this weekend and really like them. After loft, ruled surfaces are my tool of choice and I've been wanting them since the beginning of OS. Here's a simple example of ruled surfaces: * I have a non-planar parting line where the part needs to be split for 2 mold halves * 7 features… -
Re: Repairing "Broken" Fillets
Argh.... I can't believe you suggested using version compare. At least you didn't suggest that I could write a FeatureScript :smile: The situation that precipitated this discussion post was probably a worst case scenario. Opening the failed Fillet feature form for editing... gave no indication (with the exception of its… -
Re: CAD induced rage
traveler- sorry to hear your frustration, but I get it. 1: We have parts, drawings & assemblies. Where's the concept of an engineering layout? Someone missed the boat a long time ago. People bought Pro/E for shade & spin, not parametrics and not design. Few realize they got it wrong. The whole conversation about "top down"… -
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: Editing a part after it's been scaled-up
@christian_campbell IN THIS ORDER, you want to * Scale up a part made from a sketch(s) * And latter, Edit that same sketch(s), that now has dimensions that match the scaled up part You asked — Is there ANY WAY I can go about doing this? ———————— The following might be the ticket. In this first GIF, we do two things. * We… -
Re: Is Onshape a good place for your project files?
@traveler_hauptman Great topic. There seems there could be some really good ways of interfacing between Onshape and other systems. I think as a general trend, data is getting cheaper and cheaper by the day. I think we will eventually see data as being free, if we are not almost there already. We will not pay for data. We… -
Re: Onshape Design In Production
I just got my Onshape factory trolley ready to roll. This has been an ideal project to model in Onshape as I was able to work without formal production drawings. This was build by our R+D / tooling department, I can see an opening here for onshape as these guy are always asking the engineers to model things like this in… -
