Modular Cabinet Model & List of Helpful Custom Features
Modular Cabinet This project is still in progress, it is complete enough to introduce to those who may want it. Modular Cabinet Summary The modular cabinet has been configured to be many different types of cabinets. As you import the cabinet into your document, you choose the attributes that you want your cabinet to have.… -
EvolveTransportationGroup : I have a dream...
Hi All, My name is Mike and I have a dream... I have always thought that our transportation system (Gas powered automobiles, roads, freeways, etc..) is obsolete and out of date. With the technology we have now we should have replaced this inadequate and inefficient technology decades ago. Not to mention that this system is… -
Re: A proven process and resources to prototype using as many purchaseable components as possible
For sure get super familiar with McMaster Carr. They have the best mechanical catalog. Better than MSC, Grainger, etc. Their site is also the easiest to navigate, and the search on their site works way better than their competitors. They have accurate CAD for almost every single item they sell. They won't sell your… -
Re: Making an assy with differnt part colors than the part studio the parts came from
Option 1 (more parametric and automated, but a little more complex and less visual): You can add the colors to the parts using Evan's Color Part custom feature: * Add the custom feature to your toolbar (add a custom feature, not make a copy) https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d997b0ffc30f659113b10c00/ * Refresh your… -
Re: How can you create a drawing of assembly?
@thang_nguyen, You can create right drawing by two method. 1) Give proper constrain to base part of assembly with respect to origin so that at least one face of base part is parallel to any plane. 2) By changing rotation angle in view properties Rotation angle: All views, when created, have a rotation angle of 0 degrees.… -
Re: Autocreation list of custom features by script.
I would say no, this isn't possible in the way you described. One unique aspect of FeatureScript that differentiates it from other CAD automation systems is that FeatureScript inputs are driven by the inputs to the model tree — FeatureScript doesn't create, or modify, or drive the feature tree. The plus side of this is… -
Re: I am stuck in "Exersize: Creating multiple parts in a part studio"
Thank you for your reply and helpoffer. I would post a link to that document but I somehow deleted the document, so problem solved itself apparantly. :smiley: I will try the same exersize again tommorow and if I fail multiple times again, then I will post in this topic. In the meantime however I did design a nice dummy… -
Re: mate connector
A few things I like about the OnS mate connector concept 1) The fact that connectors are a durable addition to the part, reflecting design intent. I mean that they remain intact even when assembly mating scheme needs wholesale revision. The user is gently encouraged to think ahead, about the design intent of the part… -
Re: More to configurations.
@Jake_Rosenfeld @Jason_S Thanks for the replies and for not being all defensive over a bit of Onshape that arguably already works just fine :+1: I think I'm stuck between generations. Half of me expects to "do thing properly" when looking at new software. Read the manual, do the training etc. The other half thinks of… -
Re: Service Provider Concerns?
There are (roughly) three phases to 'loading' 1. The time taken to present the page when you first go to sign in. 2. The time taken to present the 'modeling' page containing your part studios & assemblies after you click to open a new document (or create a new one) 3. The time taken to present a final workable model you…
