Re: Having a problem with a circular pattern
@paul_bartlett The rib is there inside each repetition of the pattern, it is just overshadowed by the previous pattern repetition: If you want the rib to show between each vertical segment, I would first get rid of the mirror (you are not using it anyway), and then decrease the number of pattern instances to accurately… -
Re: How to use Onshape drawing to export to Inkscape to ultimately laser-cut parts?
I just came across this post but I have the answer. This is how you can convert the drawing to a .SVG file for software like K40 Whisperer. 1: Once you create the sketch in Onshape, while still in the editor but completed the sketch. Look at the part tree on the left. Right Click on the sketch you would like to bring over… -
Laying out parts or sub-assemblies to determine specific spacing
This is more of a technique or "best practice" question than a specific feature question. I've been thinking for a few days how to even ask this question and have finally settled on using a fictitious scenario to simplify things. If your eyes glaze over reading the following question, you may want to check out the public… -
Re: tangent mate for mating cylinder with intersecting planes.
Ok - I wanted this one because it's a great learning opportunity - that's a euphemism for 'complex'! :) That means that you my reader will have to follow carefully and ask any questions. Let's start at the end - i have built a working solution. I have no idea if this is exactly what you're looking for, but then again i am… -
Onshape for Industrial Design?
I appologize in advance for the length of this post! But I believe there is probably a certain audience that is considering using Onshape that would be interested in this. I’m a professional Furniture Designer / Lighting Designer (trained as an Industrial Designer)Not only do I create concepts for products (quick model… -
Re: Feature Script for stairs?
I make stepped spiral chutes (spiral stairs basically) all the time in Onshape. I found that using a curve pattern is not reliable, so @lougallo (I believe it was him, was many years ago now) showed me a trick to build that pattern manually that was more accurate and did not require a spiral curve to be drawn (which is… -
Re: Assembly Configuration Tutorial - basic assembly question
I can't see the link, I haven't paid for it. I don't experience any slow down when assembling. You may want to try and refresh the browser to clear up cache, I do this rarely. Some body in support can help you. Onshape assemblies are the best in the CAD industry but are also different. You'll have to understand the basics… -
Re: Some Basic Testing on Different Graphics cards and 32-bit/64-bit Chrome
I have experienced firefox (32 and 64bit) crashing easier than chrome. 64bit Chrome seems a bit slower than 64bit FF but I still rather work with chrome as it seems to provide more consistent and stable platform for working. I haven't checked any stats but only measure with my nerves =) @PeteYodis What could be wrong with… -
Re: Countersink Screws and Holes Mating
Again, that is all skilled trades problem. C'sinks are to be checked against actual hardware during machining. Offsets and depths are to be set at the CNC or drill press etc. Flush or below is implied. No CAD model of a fastener should be trusted as 100% accurate. Not even the fasteners are consistent between batches /… -
Re: Migration of vaults
@kevin_quigley @3dcad Yes, drawings are the bugger. And yes, as you may know from my other postings here I wish we were beyond 2D as the only conventional means of information sharing in our manufacturing culture. Long term I think that is part of the answer. I would want a work flow for older drawings and models to go…
