Sheetmetal + Move Face woes
So in the creation of a simple flange in the middle of the edge of a sheet metal part, I've found several things that are quite irritating, and I'm really hoping this can be fixed and/or improved on asap. So here is the edge in question. I wanted to add a perpendicular flange in the middle of it, easy enough. But wait, I… -
Re: Mating a part to multiple other components
I have found working with these channels requires getting comfortable with modifying (offsets and re-align) the mate connectors created by the mates (i.e. after creating the mate, video at bottom for more details). If you used the frame tool, you might be able to add an explicit connector to one of the frame parts… -
Re: ...avoid replacing ALL downstream references in timeline?!?
Yep, this is a pain for sure. I think at this point, you're painted into a corner, but there are some techniques to use next time to make things more stable: * Reference the import as little as possible - For example, set up some variables for the height, width, and depth, and use them preferentially over referencing… -
Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 15th, 2021
Wow indeed. There is so many quality-of-life improvements here that it's making my head spin. I'm so glad you focused on useability this time around rather that adding a few niche features. I'm sure most users will find several reasons to love this update. Well done, Onshape/PTC team Looking forward to what 2022 will… -
Re: How do I cut constant depth slots into a compound radius surface?
I was pretty sure you wanted to close up those ends. I think even if you couldn't find a way to pattern the slots easily, you should be able to easily fill in that area with a sweep. I did end up getting what I think is a solution. I couldn't get a sweep to pattern well, so I instead I used more planes for face splits. 1)… -
Re: Dimensions Over Constrain Sketch By Default?
@larry_hawes In the above GIF, I answered your first question which is can the second rectangle be created without dimensions Think of a constraint as like an anchor. So if I snap (constrain) the bottom horizontal line of the second rectangle to that of the cuboid, and if I constrain the top horizontal line of the second… -
Re: Efficient way to "re-align" a vector?
@Evan_Reese Yep, that's it! Thank you! It makes perfect sense (now that I know the answer...): I know that cSys.xAxis is the direction I want so I just need to make it the length I need! I think I briefly tried this but gave up when I saw that cSys.xAxis was just (1,0,0) and I thought well that's not helpful... But I think… -
Problem using opExtrude in functions
I am trying to make some functions for creating extrusions. Unfortunately I cannot get things work. When I use only 1 function, it works prefectly. Also when I disable the opExtrude, the sketches are made as I expected. When I don't use functions I don't have any problems. I am pretty new in FeatureScript, so probably I… -
Re: Wrap a solid part?
@marcel_robitaille742 https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c98fbdae3809fbf91e3b336e/w/09b4fc4001e5fb93fcaffd0a/e/f7dcd57e17acccad6009cb87 If you’re looking for one part studio where you can modify one variable and change it from zigzag to armchair or chiral, well that’s not what I’m doing here. I’ll give you one part studio… -
Re: New Custom Features: Mold Design
@NeilCooke Hi Neil. I think the toggle for priority is a better option. At the moment i'm working with a configurable part, loaded into a configurable 'mould' part studio, loaded into a configurable sub assembly loaded into the final mould assembly. From the final mould assembly I configure the six sizes for the sub…
