Bug in FeatureScript sample "Brick"
Hello, i already described the issue in https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/6774/lego-dimensions-incorrect but as it seems to be the incorrect forum, noone answered. i printed some individual Lego parts for my son and face some incorrect dimensions with larger column counts. It seems the script uses 7.8 mm for the… -
Re: Scaling model before or during 3D printing
One problem with scaling down something so large as a full-size locomotive into the work envelope of a 3D printer is that the printer resolution may not be fine enough to actually print all of your features. For example, most printers use a 0.4 mm nozzle, which prints a layer (wall) thickness of roughly 0.4 mm. If a… -
Re: How to 'machine' an assembly?
I would disagree on this, I created a part studio that generate alupanel board of any dimensions, you just have to give it the width, height, and thickness of the product that you need. This has then all the correct part number, vendor and color for this product. Then once this is inserted in an assembly, how do you make… -
Re: Edit Part inside an assembly
@Traveler_Hauptman You might be right, I have thought I could create all my 'assemblies' in just part studio. But if I make a change in any of parts in same studio, it will always regenerate all parts. And all features would be in one long list - not too much fun to navigate. Later there will be also part behaviour in… -
Re: What mates should I use for a Reuleaux triangle rotation?
@philip_thomas - Thanks for the encouragement! I believe @mbartlett21 was trying to answer my contemplation of whether it could be done without an external cam with his example. It's great that we get to use this opportunity to learn from you the pitfall behind tangent mates and get a better understanding of the cad system… -
Re: Feature manager tree wishlist
Thanks for the feedback, there are some great ideas here. We have been discussing being able to use tagging in the Feature List so that you can identify and recall features more easily. This has the advantage of being more flexible and scalable than folders especially since features would not need to be contiguous in the… -
Frame Tooling 2.0
So I started to create a product with the frame tool with the intention of creating a series of similar products. However once I started getting into PLM (OpenBOM) in this case. I realized that designing in this way would not be scalable. Since only the composite part is inserted into the assembly OpenBOM would only import… -
Re: laser joint tool
Hi @Mr_Hubbard I did not make this script---all credit goes to @lemon1324! As for the allowance value: that is how much the faces are offset. So, if you had a part that was made perfectly, and the allowance is 0, then you would have no gap at all. A positive allowance adds extra space, for example for wood glue. A negative… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - February 12th, 2021
I don't like the new placement of the version/comment buttons. It robs usable screen area and makes looking into version history more difficult. Having an extra 1/2" of the screen taken up for 3 buttons doesn't really make sense to me. I'm also a user that keeps the left side tabs menu open all the time, I never use the… -
Re: Forget the Parametry
I think we should have the choice!!! To design new things, it's easier un direct modeling (just take a look at Ptc Creo Elements direct modeling or Ironcad). There are no parameters or contraint in sketch. 3d parts are stretched like un 2d cad... If you have to built tour machine more than once with small change parametric…
