Vertical Scrolling in Feature List
Onshape's Feature List has a re-invented scrollbar. I reckon it flat sucks. (OK, I'm too civilised to say what I REALLY think) The only rapid transit option is to click on the (rather small) scroll box and drag it. It's fussy: you have to watch like a hawk, and position (and reposition) the mouse with some care, to scoot… -
Re: Default value of a configurable variable from an imported part studio?
Last time I checked, there are no requirements anywhere in FeatureScript regarding the size of maps since maps are basically infinitely expandable. So long as required keys (and matching values) are present, additional key - value pairs are disregarded, even when doing things like type checking: var myPlane =… -
Re: Re-using parts vs creating new in multipart studios (concerning production and erp data)
@3dcad - What, specifically, makes using an existing part harder than making a new part? Is it hard to know if it exists? Is it hard to find the existing part when you know it exists? Is it too difficult or tedious to add the part when you know it exists? I agree that re-using parts is definitely better than re-creating… -
Re: To "Coincident Constrain", or "Concentric Constrain", that is the question. (Misquoting Shakespeare)
I was not aware the bounding edges of the face selected to create a sketch plane were that accessible for constraining. I have not had an issue using the coincident constraint to constrain to a circle/arc center to the center of a circular edge on the sketch plane because I always use "Use". It is my practice to "Use" the… -
Re: How to drive dimensions from other dimensions
I'm a long time Inventor user and am currently evaluating OnShape over Fusion 360 for a new company, and the inability to reference dimensions in sketches and other features is killing me. For example if you need to place an array of vent openings that get 10% closer together over a distance. You have to manually do that… -
Re: Using variables in part design or FS
@michael3424 Ah yeah, if you're using a hobbyist/maker-grade laser like I am, then it doesn't do any kerf compensation in the laser control, so cutting a 1" square actually results in something like an 0.99" square. This is what the kerf compensation feature is intended to correct, and then the LJ feature is just to define… -
Help with enclose function?
Hello All, I am trying to make a basic FeatureScript to improve my learning that generates RPG Dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20). I can successfully create planes for the sides of the D4 and wish to use an enclose operation to create the solid. What is the proper way to use enclose()? There is no documentation for opEnclose… -
Cloud-based software
I use a Chromebook, and in most respects I'm an enthusiast, bordering on a rabid convert. But one thing I dislike is the scenario, quite recurrent, where something about the operation changes without my knowledge, let alone consent. Sometimes it's just something minor. Recently an advisory strip has started dropping down… -
Am I just an retard? or is feature script impossible..
So what I have been attempting to do, for the 10th time now... Is create a slot (as shown in the top left corner of the sketch) on each selected point. This is still my first "from scratch" feature script. but I can never get past the first step... creating a sketch on a plane... I've learned a dozen other languages… -
Re: Is there a way to set the offset of a mate connector to a surface?
I model lots of t-slot assemblies that incorporate additional parts as shown in your example. Mating is a challenge, but I have found that using one or more of the following tactics can yield assemblies that avoid planar mates entirely, contain a minimum number of fastened mates, and respond reasonably well to parametric…
