How do I create a new Plane, that is REALLY oriented to the Mate Connector?
I tried lots of combination - and if I'm lucky i just get one which is tanget to it, but not oriented the right way (rotated around the Z axis, so that X and Y match) ... basically I just want to "sketch" onto the Loft's End (selected Face), but it is not aligned. Can you please tell me how to do this, because it really… -

Tapered rectangle by extruding?
Is there a quick and standard approach to extruding an object, such as a rectangle, with all four sides tapering to a particular dimension? I'm still learning the basics of Onshape and this is eluding me. Tapering two sides would simply involve extruding a sketch, but I don't get how to symmetrically extrude to a taper.… -
Re: How do I find the distance between two planes?
var X; if (abs(Vec[0]) > TOLERANCE.zeroLength) X = 0; else if (abs(Vec[1]) > TOLERANCE.zeroLength) X = 1; else X = 2; var startDef = vector(definition.OuterDiameter / 2, boxDis[X]); var endDef = vector(definition.OuterDiameter / 2 - (0.117 * inch), boxDis[X]); //Create sketch var champSketch = newSketch(context, id +… -
Re: Having trouble with opExtrude on skText
qNthElement(qSketchRegion(id + "sketch1"), 0) returns one of the numbers. Each X (0->15) in qNthElement(qSketchRegion(id + "sketch1"), X) returns one of the letters or letter holes. Unfortunately there is no pattern in the element order. If there is no quick fix or minor thing that I am missing, I think I could build a… -

problems with "x-axis" key in Plane object
I'm trying to retrieve the X axis vector for a Plane. var sketchPlane = plane(origin, normal, xDirection); println(sketchPlane); // result: // normal(0, 0.7071067811865476, -0.7071067811865476) // origin(-0.3048 meter, -0.6096 meter, 1.2192 meter) // x-axis(1, 0, 0) Huzzah! Except that I can't access the "x-axis" key in… -
