Re: Convenient tool / method for creating "tabs" (NOT sheet metal)
@tom_auger YOU ASKED — are you just creating a new sketch on the bottom face and then drawing a rectangle on it and extruding that? ANSWER IS YES YOU ALSO ASKED — If so - are the two sketches "linked' in any way such that if the dimensions of the first sketch change (say the width of the box), then the second sketch will… -
Custom Cut List
@MichaelPascoe - I am using your Cut List (Pascoe) feature script you created in 2021. Thanks for creating that feature. Is there anyway to modify those column headers and data that you can input in to the table? Looking to see if I can bring in the following data in to that cut list table - Col1(PARTNO) COL2(DESCRIPTION… -
Re: Configuration Titles
Oh wow. Just had the perfect use case for Configurations and once again had to abandon because there's no way to make it user friendly. Did a search on the forum, and lookee here. I'm baaaack! Just so we're clear on the use case. You're making a part and you know there are going to be variations - in my latest example, a… -
Re: Create sketch in middle of part
Hi Lee_Hesketh, To create a plane, you can use the constructor that takes:plane (origin is Vector, normal is Vector) returns Plane The origin of your plane is going to be the mid-point that you calculated and the vector should be the normal of the plane to make them parallel. Such that:var planeDef = plane(midPoint,… -
Re: Dimensions in Assemblies
There are many ways you could do this - the "correct" way can only be evaluated when you factor in your design intent... One way I would use involves 1. a Variable studio (e.g. put the length, width, number of cross members in as variables) 2. in a Part studio use these variables to drive a sketch... then use Frame… -
Re: Anyone already wrote a feature script for "slotted bending" (sheet metal)?
Thanks for the recommendation, you're right, I already noticed some performance issues during my manual workflow for this, which lead me to do only one single sketch on the flat pattern for all bends I'd like to be perforated within the sheet metal part. For the feature script I am wondering, if this would be easily… -
Referencing a Configuration Cell Value in Another Cell
I am looking to use a cell value from my configuration table to drive other formulas within my configuration cells [in an assembly]. This would be similar to how formulas in excel our built for instance if I am using a value in A1 cell to calculate a value in B1 ie (B1 = A1 +2). I am not looking to use my #variable input… -

Help with placing holes
I'm trying to build a support gusset, it is tapered and I want lightening holes along the length of it, a pretty standard type of thing I do. I'll attach the link to the project, but the first hole I would like on the right hand side, .300" from the top and bottom edge, .750 from the right end. Then I would like… -
Adding ridges around mymodle
Hi all, Ive created a 3d design of a cardboard end plug. Its public and called "Cardboard Tube Plug" Around the ring of the plug, the side of it. I want to add 3 small rings. They would be about .5mm in height and .5mm in width, very small. They are used to grip the inside of the cardboard tube. Typically for a shipping…
