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… -
Proposal for a first (simple) motion/animation designer in Assemblies
Since some weeks I am evaluating Onshape and currently I explore the borders of the animating an assembly with mechanism(s). Currently I found these restrictions * It is only possible to animate one mate at a time * It is only possible to animate a mate "linear" from the minimum value to the maximum value I guess this is… -
Re: CAM for sheet goods/routers, what do you want?
From the metal cutting side, here are some items that I would look for. 1. Full cloud enabled that works in Onshape. Have direct link so CAM updates as models update. 2. Able to create code for the large production metal cutting manufacturers (We have Trumpf for laser, Flow for waterjet, Messer for plasma) 3. Automatic… -
Re: Can this component be created using OnShape?
The fact the he thinks that anyone not using "parametric" modelling must be an "AutoCAD Luddite"; despite that I said above that I never use it, is why I also said above: "I'm not advocating change here; just explaining why I choose to construct parts elsewhere". The purpose of my OP was to see if my perception of the OS… -
Re: Is on shape a realistic starting point for a CAD beginner?
@geoff_zephyrus I’ve been around Supers, but I’m no expert. Never took the time to really study them so I came up with my own design — good or bad. The main thing this is about is showing a way to go about modeling something like this. In the first sketch, I drew 4 long and narrow rectangles around the perimeter. These are… -
Re: Within a Sketch, is there an easy way to see exactly why a line is blue?
I’m curious to know what program it is that allows a person to work in any fashion and or manner? Closest thing I found to that so far is Onshape. Just the other day somebody wanted to know how to do a knob with draft & ribs and instantly there’s four different ways. And like @mahir said, ‘there really is too many ways… -
Improvements to Onshape - September 14th 2016
Onshape 2017 is here! What?!? Sorry, my mistake, it's just the usual round of awesome new enhancements to your favorite full-cloud CAD. It's a lot of hard work creating these What's New videos, but I'd much rather do this every three weeks than once a year :p - enjoy yet another HUGE update! MULTIPLE SECTION PLANES The way… -
Re: How to create screw-thread
1) Create feature (major OD of screw, bolt, lead-screw, etc.) 2) Create helix on previous feature. Select number of turns or pitch for helix 3) Create a plane to sketch the thread profile (cutting tool) on. * Select plane icon * Select "curve point" from dropdown * Select vertex of Helix (defining start point) TIP: hide… -
Re: Geometric Variants using API, onshape-client
@jakeramsley Thanks for the response and sorry for the delay. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think there are two ways of solving this issue. I just want to understand both so that I can 'scale-up' First, the semi-hardcoded way, where I just have python construct the URL and send the request via the webbrowser library. #… -
Re: Multi-body surfacing tactics/strategy
Thanks for all the input! I was able to get some modeling in and got most of the modeling of the first of three parts done. This is my approach for now (extra detailed for future reference): I have three tabs in my Document;1. Global variables Uses a Custom Feature that defines variables which are then usable on each tab…
