Re: Printing Dimensions Drawings of Parts
Hi @james_alford In general, designers and manufacturers require different information - most of the time the dimensions added to sketches represent design intent (such as, this hole should be X mm away from this slot), but the manufacturing people require dimensions from a specific datum, plus tolerances, GD&T etc. Years… -
Re: projected curve
Projected curve is a relatively simple feature. It takes the two sketches, extrudes them and intersects the extrusions to get a curve. If that results in a self-intersecting result or more than one result it will fail. I edited your doc and extruded both sketches. The visual intersection between the gray and the blue is… -
Re: Featurescript: Editing Logic Function does not update length parameter in Feature UI
Sure. The bug appears to occur only when a field value is overwritten by editing logic immediately after it is submitted. For example, if the user enters a value into definition.length, the bug occurs if the editing logic immediately attempts to set definition.length to something else. So so long as the trigger for… -
Re: Hard time figuring out how to use assemblies
@kustaa_2 believe me, I understand your frustration 100%. I've been a very vocal supporter of Onshape for several years now, and in many aspects this is amazing software. However, Onshape assemblies are a total dumpsterfire, in my opinion. - No assembly planes - No assembly level sketches - No import of subassembly planes… -
Re: Advanced Non-Uniform Scale Feature
@mbartlett21, I'm going to sound like an OS employee, but what is your use case? Generally, in 20 years of using cad I haven't really needed the ability to scale a sketch. Another possible solution is to build in a scaling factor using variables. Create a number variable #x and set it equal to 1. When you create and… -
Re: What am I not understanding (equal constraint 2 lines cannot be solved)
While academic at this point, if I delete that midpoint constraint and the extraneous point then I can set those two unrelated lines I showed in the video to be equal, but I can no longer then make that point where the middle arc and line meet to be at the midpoint of that line on the right. See...… -
Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
12/2022: Has this been addressed in the 7 years since posted? If so, I haven't found it yet. Is it possible now to use a snap grid for sketching? I can't find the video mentioned above (link is just generic videos, 41 pages worth.) It definitely would be helpful, especially for newbies and for doing prototype concept work… -
Re: Section view of only specific parts in an assembly
Hi Brad. The problem with this is that 1: Part studios generally do not contain the parts in the same quantities, location, orientation, etc. as the assembly, therefore a lot of work could be required to use your suggested method to achieved the desired result. You'd very likely need to create multiple cuts in multiple… -
Re: How do I make a cone?
This is how our system behaves if you apply a draft after making the cone. Similarly, if your draft angle isn't large enough/extrude long enough you can apply a delete face to the top face and generate a cone that way. There's a near infinite number of ways to make geometry in CAD. I think the most important aspects for… -
Re: Duplicate part N times and alter extruded text based on string array of length N
The "Add text" feature makes its own sketch text with varying content, but it can't modify existing sketch text. Generally speaking, FeatureScript can't modify the inputs to existing features and sketches, it can only directly modify the geometry, or create new geometry. For your case, this shouldn't be a problem at all.…
