Newbie question: How can I center 2 parts in an Assembly ... at a fixed offset distance?
Hello 1. How can I align the centers of Part A and Part B in the X dimension? 2. How can I fix the sparation distance between the two edges to a specific distance? (e.g. 2mm) Note: I have applied a Planar Mate to the back face of Part A and Part B. Background Part of my problem is that I have two 45 degree chamfers facing… -
Editing Logic Function Bug
After changing assignVariable previous in feature list, Editing Logic Function is not called when dialog edited. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/47645dc8ca647639866c9042/w/44fae298ffffec741601f9b7/e/7c7abc9f9733785ccdd1e5f1?renderMode=0&uiState=61761d7aaba51a613cfe7658 (1) Edit assignVariable to make from #a=50 to… -
Show Version Description in Versions and History Tab?
I have a preference for version and revision codes to be automatically generated so that they are consistent and sort properly. I never ever want to end up with "Final, Final Final.1.2". I also want to write useful descriptions for versions so that I can remember what they are and go to them quickly. Right now, the… -
What do the different colored lines mean when hovering over a constraint?
Total n00b here. Trying to learn. I get that when I hover over a constraint, the lines or points that the constraint applies to are highlighted. But I see two different colors depending on which constraint I hover over. For example, sometimes, the line coincident to a point is highlighted in yellow, and other times a line… -
Can't Sketch on Plane Created with opPlane
Hello, I am trying to create a new plane using opPlane, then create new sketch features on it. The plane shows up, but not the sketch. The body of the FS code is below. Thanks! var plane1 = opPlane(context, id + "plane1", { "plane" : plane(vector(0, 0, 2) * inch, vector(0, 0, 1), vector(1, 0, 0)), "width" : 6 * inch,… -
For (var i = .. Sketch and Plane and Circular pattern
How could you create a with a "for (var i = ...." a Sketch in each plane. And how Extrude each Sketch. jhljlñkjñl var sketch2 = newSketch(context, id + "sketch2", { "sketchPlane" : qCreatedBy(makeId("Top"), EntityType.FACE) }); for (var i = 0; i < 5; i += 1) { var miPlane is string = "plane" ~ i; var Circle is string =… -
Re: scaling an assembly?
Nice job Neil :+1: Here's my effort. Same as Neil's (blatant copy of his work) but with some custom feature script measurement variables to make it nice and parametric should the original part change size, and mullerage in height and width. I had to rotate the part for the non uniform scale to be happy in x and y as that… -
Re: constrain and edge in a plane in assembly
so now I am retying this, but I dislike it. The reason is that the result is not parametric. I have to fix the offsets to some numbers. The way I would like to do it is the plane mate, which I did. This will make it such that I change the position of either plane and the mate is still good. Them I would like to constrain… -
Re: Dimensions while sketching.
I agree with @paul_breed absolutely, and thanks Paul for bringing this up. I think another key concept is for users to be able to use (should they wish) a defined discipline of coordinate entry, so that the first dimension entered is always considered to relate to the x axis, and the second to the y axis. If the "Enter"… -
Re: Trouble sweeping a thread profile over a tapered spiral for BSPT thread.
Than you for your response James, much appreciated. Your excellent tutorial is almost identical to one I have been referring to, https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/4993#Comment_4993. Using the method you described, I have been unable to create the tapered thread on the revolve that I have in my drawing. I tried…
