Possible MASS_OVERIDE Bug?
I'm currently finishing up a bearing generator with a list of bearings preset from VEXpro. But also can generate its own bearings. I'm trying to apply a mass to the preset bearings, but it returns an error when a numerical value with a unit of weight is applied. Precondition of setProperty failed (definition.value is… -
Re: featurescript - adding features to spur gear script [SOLVED]
I've just come across this fantastic featurescript for gears and would like to see other options - for now a spoked version as in clock gears. I have dropped my library , copied from elsewhere, in favour of this - reprinting the gears as we speak so that they are all from the same generator. Only briefly looked at… -
Re: How do gear mates work?
@Onshaper You first need to add revolute mates to each of the pulleys, then the gear mate requires picking those. The orientation of the part will be determined by the orientations of the connectors. (ON EDIT: I got that last statement wrong: that's true in the general case but NOT in the case of gear, or rack and pinion… -
Gear Hub script: can't find `mirror`, and questions about best practices
Hello, I just wrote a feature to automate making a set-screw gear hub. But I have a feeling I'm doing a few things poorly. Here is the code: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/92c07f0cdc903565dc9f8a19/w/1aa9f471de9b453b1ac79eb7/e/cf78ac218e146caefb0e95f6 The general description of the code is: // take the center point of… -
Re: query point coordinate
Yes, a line and a circle in that case, so I can do it by calculus, but at the end, what I'm trying to do is to generate the sketch of a spur gear (the existing spur gear feature generate the body) and doing it with constraints is much much easier. From your answer, does it means I case do an skSolve and project the point… -
For a composite part in a part studio, how can I find the feature that created that part?
Hello Onshapers, For a composite part in a part studio created by a Composite part feature (vs derived), how can I find that feature that created it? I would expect cross-highlighting between the feature list and parts list, but that doesn't happen for composite parts. With sufficient discipline, when creating a composite… -
Custom Feature: OnlyTabs - A premium sheet metal tab and slot feature
-Link to feature up front- A long time ago in the distant year of late 2024 our sheet metal obsessed production company was evaluating our CAD options and found ourselves checking out Onshape as an alternative to our old licenses of Solidworks. There were two main barriers in the way of our adoption, support for sheet… -
How can I include a variable in a part name?
I have a spur gear generator. How can I make the part name Gear + #Teeth? -
How can I include a variable value in a sketch text?
I have a spur gear generator. How can I label each gear with the number of teeth in the variable #Teeth? -
How to sweep over a cylindrical face along a projected curve instead of a helix
I am new to Onshape and to CAD design in general. I am trying to design a gear with its teeth swept along a curve I have projected on a cylindrical surface. This works fine when I use a helix, but it won't generate properly, or at al similarly, when I select a projected curve on the same surface in place of the helix. Is…
