Re: What is the "proper" way to design a multi piece design with intertwined constraints
Hi Shaolo, Let me start by saying that I 100% agree with jnewth. In your case, definitely use one part studio & create multiple parts (and then make configurations of those parts ) As a workflow - I like to create a folder (and name it variables) at the start of the feature tree . Then place all variables in this folder… -
Can Custom Properties set by FeatureScript be numbers?
I have a "Quantity" custom property that populates a field in our drawings to indicate how many panels of a certain size need to be fabricated. I would like to drive that "Quantity" property with a variable from a variable studio - however when I set up my FeatureScript to assign the variable I keep getting this error… -
Update all references to latest versions excludes derive features and variable studios...
I have a "global" document, which contains a master layout and global variables. I have a multitude of "assembly" documents which use the onshape derive feature to import sketches and shapes from the global document, and also import the global variables. I also have a "main" document which brings together all the assembly… -
Changing variable value breaks sketches inconsistently
Hi, In modeling a parametric box design, I encountered some weirdness when working with variables to control the boxes dimensions. Basically, when I change a parameter / variable like the box height, it often breaks one of the sketches. However, if I go into the affected sketch and do a slight change, like adding 0.1mm to… -
What are Best Practices, regarding Variable Table vs Variable Studio ?
-
Re: Table (New Custom Feature!)
This featurescript works pretty well - the main issue I'm having is that when I enter in an expression into a cell sometimes the expression or variable gets erased and replaced with a static value (usually the last value of that specific variable when I edited the table). Is there any way to prevent my formulas or… -
Configuration variables lead to the error: onshape_client.oas.exceptions.ApiException: (404)
Hello everyone, I get the following error message when I try to export an stl-file with the onshape-client: onshape_client.oas.exceptions.ApiException: (404) Reason: Not found This error only occurs if the configuration variables have values that differ from the defined default value. There are 5 different configuration… -
parts with variable parameters for use in assemblies
Hi all,I was wondering if there is a way to "lock" a variable in a part somehow and then to create another part with a different value for that same variable?The reason is I would like to use the same basic part in one assembly but use different lengths for instance. Every time you change the variable in the part studio,… -
need help defining a formula value within a variable
I have this variable defined. As you can see I am using two other variable definitions to define the value of a third variable. As written it works just fine. Im taking the #slat_width multiplying by a factor of .87 and then dividing by the #slat_slot_count to define the #slat_slot_distance. What I NEED to do instead is… -
