Re: External Editor
Its just two endpoints: https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer/#/FeatureStudio/getFeatureStudioContents and https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer/#/FeatureStudio/updateFeatureStudioContents I read in a thread from years past that the featurescript IDE is based on a generic web IDE (ace), so the features are… -
Gotcha! Adding one too many rectangles to a sketch gives a BOOLEAN_NON_MANIFOLD_RESULT error
To see a demo of this issue, please visit my Manifold Test document and double-click on the Manifold Test feature to open the dialog and show debug feedback. You will see a square with 376 randomly* generated blocks that have been extruded and merged with the square. A red debug rectangle shows where a 377th block would be… -
Custom features - 3d Points and Variable Pitch Helix
Original post: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/25252/variable-pitch-helix-and-3d-point-fs-features-from-crusoe-technologies#latest Haven't received any feedback for our Custom features in 'General' category! So posting them to 'Featurescript' category and we are hoping to receive feedback from both regular Onshape… -
Optimization Solver - New Feature on fs.place
I've gotten a number of request over the years for features that have a measurement based constraint such as perimeter or area. The topic has also come up on the forums a few times (https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/18610/how-can-i-use-perimeter-as-a-constraint). My answer to the question has always been - to optimize a… -
Re: Will it ever be possible to contribute sketch features?
AFAIK, not in the near future. It was an early decision that using a sketch tool in Onshape should result in a set of low-level entities and constraints, and nothing more. This gives users the flexibility to delete individual entities or constraints, and utilize the remaining degrees of freedom to interactively redefine… -
Re: How do I use the PARTcommunity?
Thanks to the above discussion I got the PARTcommunity app/link installed and basically functioning. However, trying to get an 80-20 part inserted into a design document. I found and selected the part that I wanted (pivot bracket with brake) and I selected "insert into Onshape". It seemed to take forever to generate the… -
Re: Custom Feature: Mold & Die Design
@jelte_steur814 I've shared it with you. Remember this was just a prototype and I've not looked at it in over 3 years so there may be a better way to do this. My intention was to add ejectors as individual parts as well. Don't go too mad with this - if you think you have found a better way to either populate the plate… -
Re: Part Studio to CNC mill?
You need a CAM application. Onshape is for the design. Then you export it as as STEP to the CAM software. In the CAM software you will generate all the toolpaths. The CAM software will then generate G-Code, which is a text file. This is the file you will send to your CNC Controller. The CNC controller in your case is… -
Re: How to export an STL file with imac
Press and hold the "control" key on your keyboard, while pressing the mouse button. FYI, CAD in general demands a 3 button mouse. (left button, middle scroll wheel that doubles as a button, and right button). It's super worth the $10 to get one, for any CAD program. IMO, as a 30 year Mac user. -
