How to choose a vector and draw a simple circle in FS?
I am building a feature to create a tabbed slot. It's a hole cut through with a rectangle inside it. It mates with an extrusion with a tab on either side. You fit these parts together and give them 1/4 turn and they lock together. btw, I'm not new to programming. I've been a developer for years now but this live query… -
Re: Consolidating pieces of your workflow into robust and simple features
Yes, you can create mate connectors. The function you're looking for is opMateConnector, in geomOperations. You need a coordSystem to tell it where to go, and a query for the body to attach it to (likely a qCreatedBy). The answer to creating identical parts will be a bit more long-winded =) There are a few strategies in… -
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… -
Onshape enhancement wish list
As Onshape grows here are my wish list enhancements. What's yours? Mine is mostly sheet metal. Here is my list for sheet metal features needed in no specific order: * When getting the call out for the bend direction have the ability to select inside or outside of the complimentary angle you would need to have listed. We… -
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: 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: 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: 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… -
