Re: Multiple Fillets
@guy_4 ,Yes there is a way to put multiple fillets in a sketch that are all equal to each other. You have to select fillet command then click the corner points of sketch (Intersection of two edge) where you want to give fillet. After that you have to put radius value for fillet as per your requirement. then select all… -
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… -
Using Variables (Invalid Equation)
I'm trying to learn how to use variables effectively to draw parts from a 1:1 drawing, to a scaled down version to 1:29 scale for my model train project. Using the variable feature, I created a variable labeled "Scale" that is 1/29 or .0344". When I dimension a part, I can then create a variable such as #Scale * 5 in, and… -
How to import a sketch into a feature script and then in a loop make copies of it along a path.
Hi there, I have a sketch in my document. It has 3 variables set MidThickness Width Height the variables parameterize a cross section profile along a boat hull. I would like to create a feature script feature that imports the sketch and then in a loop makes copies of it. I have imported the profile into a feature like so… -
FEA simulation? for " O-RINGS" "not what I want"
Creating an O-Ring is a very simple task as well Creating O-Ring grooves I used an O-Ring Calculator to verify tolerances and fluid type this calculator is really easy to use http://www.applerubber.com/oring-gland-calculator anyway I just don't believe an o-ring with a material spec of Silicon Rubber against 6061 aluminum… -
Sheetmetal + Move Face woes
So in the creation of a simple flange in the middle of the edge of a sheet metal part, I've found several things that are quite irritating, and I'm really hoping this can be fixed and/or improved on asap. So here is the edge in question. I wanted to add a perpendicular flange in the middle of it, easy enough. But wait, I… -
Gear Lab - Cylindrical, Bevel, Face Gears
Yup, it's another custom feature for gears. I had previously used Neil Cooke's excellent 'Spur Gear' feature [Link], but I wanted the ability to generate bevel and face gears as well. I only learned about Bob Tipton's great bevel gear FS after I had nearly finished this. I fear that my "Gear Lab" custom feature is largely… -
Re: Is there a way to set the offset of a mate connector to a surface?
I model lots of t-slot assemblies that incorporate additional parts as shown in your example. Mating is a challenge, but I have found that using one or more of the following tactics can yield assemblies that avoid planar mates entirely, contain a minimum number of fastened mates, and respond reasonably well to parametric… -
Re: Global Variables?
@sloan_thrasher Its strange this hasn't been solved despite numerous calls and the obvious necessity. https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/60779#Comment_60779 However so far I do it by a featurescript: 1. next to the tabs press plus - 'create feature studio' 2, insert the code below where "thickness" etc. will be… -
Re: STL import, how many triangles are ok ?
I am not sure what the resolution is for the survey scans that you would typically receive and what volume they can capture, but below is a screengrab of a CT Scanned part. The two bosses are roughly 15mm away (D) and 12mm high (H). This would be an example of a small part with high resolution and it seems to be performing…
