Current State of Laser Cutting Workflow?
I use Onshape primarily to make semi-complicated laser-cut assemblies, doing final layout in Inkscape. Up until now I had been using the right-click -> export to DXF workflow, but it is really tedious. I often have 4 or more of the same part, so while my assembly reflects that I have to manually do the bookkeeping and… -
Adding Nubs or Ribs to the Inside of a Hole
I have an object that requires an interference fit. The hole will be in plastic (3D printed) and the object is metal. Getting exact tolerances is painful since 3D printing is so variable so I am wanting to add small nubs or bumps to the inside of the hole since the plastic is malleable enough that these bumps will simply… -
Cuved Part and Flat Part as same Part Name/Part Number?
We have a custom flexible tapelight that is cut to length in 50mm increments and used on numerous products. Currently, I have a part studio which has a configuration variable for the radius of the curved surface to which the tape will be applied to. The tape model is created using a sketch which has a formula for the… -
Re: Is there a way to "de-feature" parts in assemblies for improved performance?
OK - late to the party - but here goes. Lots of good conversation here and most of you are spot on. That said - here are my nuggets :) * Graphics card is critical - (meaning you need one). If https://cad.onshape.com/check reports anything other than your graphics card (read it carefully) then you need to start… -
Re: Proper way to extract/query face/vertex/edge out of a rectangle extrude (body) in Featurescript
@sven_kautlenbach You could always do something like the following: function createBlock(centerPoint is vector, planeNormal is Vector, width is ValueWithUnits, depth is ValueWithUnits, height is ValueWithUnits) returns Query { 1. sketch a recctangle using centerPoint, planeNormal, width, and depth 2. extrude the rectangle… -
Re: .onshapepy. key file location (Win vs. linux)
@ethan_keller769, Will you guys get rid of onshapepy? I may jut finish-up my code and then look into translating (depending on your plans). Maybe could you give me some guidance for the translation. Below is an example of my version of an get/update configuration routine (with my imports and object definitions): from… -
Re: Why are my dimensions rounding up?
Scaling the whole model seems strange. I have often added extra clearance on faces that will be touching mating parts. 3D printing will have certain types of dimensional errors depending on the technology, tessellation, calibration, maintenance, environmental conditions, and axis. FDM will often be off in Z (build axis) by… -
PRINCIPIA - INTEGRATED MULTIBODY DYNAMICS SIMULATION
Hello Onshape Community! My name is Daniel, I am a numerical dynamics engineer from Austria and my first post in this awesome knowledge data base is to introduce you to our novel app PRINCIPIA. PRINCIPIA is THE cloud native Multibody Dynamics Simulation App to Onshape! It perfectly fits into the proven Onshape workflow… -
Help Making Configurable Tube
I regularly rely on configurable parts to make changes in higher level assemblies without breaking mates. I have configured many parts and generally understand how to do so. However, I am struggling to figure out what the best architecture would be for creating a configurable tube. The properties that need to be configured… -
Re: Design intent video (webinar)
@DaVicki I was actually thinking more along the lines of a simple rule applying to all models, perhaps: Any dimension which occupies a single 'niche' in the designer's intent should appear only once in the model. Cody (having eliminated the redundant hole diameters in my graphic, which also broke this unwritten rule) goes…
