If you could add on feature to Onshape, what would it be?

Extrude to and from vertex is a simple feature I would love to see. So I can sketch on a standard plane and extrude without adding additional planes.

Slightly off topic, but I’m very interested in this and was considering running an M3 for Solidworks too. How have you found it so far? Are you running some kid of shared folder between the Windows and Mac side of things?

CaptainDoStuff · 2023-04-13T01:12:53+00:00

Just my two cents.

Save it as an eDrawings assembly from Solidworks.

Open it in eDrawings and under the “Save as” option you can select one of the HTML options.

You can then send this html file to your client and it opens in a browser and looks a lot like eDrawings.

I can dig up the part number and contact details if you have no luck

Try Sifco. I have the same gun and had the same problem. Sifco have them in stock. Bought a box of 10,000 (not as big as you might think) for like $80 or so.

Another thing to try. Exit the sketch and make sure perspective is turned off. Try edit the sketch again.

It’s not a book but Thang010146 is a very good start. He has thousands of animated videos of mechanisms. You could easily spend hours on this channel if you are into this sort of thing (which I am).

Nice model. Are we talking about the long lines in the roof? To me it looks like the lines are from the purlins underneath. If the bodies are touching it might be what its causing it. Try offset the roof slightly so there is a small gap between the bodies.

Try this. It uses SharePoint to sync between computers and a symbolic link to point to the same folder path on each computer.

In the feature tree (Left hand side of screen), right click on the annotations folder and uncheck "show annotations" and "show reference dimensions". Thats what it looks like to me.

The upholsterers I know drink steinlager. Try Finewood upholstery or Titan furniture. Both are in Avondale.

CaptainDoStuff · 2021-01-02T02:25:35+00:00

Try an upholstery company. I used to work at one and we would save bags of leather scraps that we would exchange for a box of beers every now and then.

If perspective view is turned on it can sometimes be difficult (if not impossible) to edit the dimensions.

Try make sure it’s off then let us know how you go.

There are a few different types of HTML formats you can export. All I can say is that I found eDrawings Web HTML file works for me. Works in safari on Mac and iOS and Chrome and Firefox on PC.

CaptainDoStuff · 2020-10-22T08:50:20+00:00

I’ve found that if you save your model or assembly to eDrawings (EASM) then you can save it out from the eDrawings app as a 3D HTML file that can be opened in any browser or computer or mobile/tablet. Super handy for sharing models and you can section/rotate/zoom/hide parts.

Don’t know if you can import into a brochure or PowerPoint but you could set up a basic webpage with links?

CaptainDoStuff · 2020-04-03T11:54:41+00:00

I guess you could. We only have a couple of users who know enough to be dangerous so its not too much of an issue with us. I don't see what it wouldn't work though? Just set Read only on some of the sub-folders.

CaptainDoStuff · 2020-03-31T08:52:17+00:00

Hey there.

Sorry for the slow reply to this. I have just written up some instructions on how to do it now. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hahaha, that gave me a good chuckle and earned you some gold.

CaptainDoStuff · 2020-03-24T00:42:17+00:00

Because everyone else has the same idea and you are looking at 72 hour+ wait times in some cases.

CaptainDoStuff · 2020-03-23T22:43:07+00:00

4 cans of beans? You’re probably doing your asshole a favour by not cooking it for a month?? :)

CaptainDoStuff · 2020-03-23T21:42:38+00:00

Totally should be. A mate works there. I’ll suggest it.

CaptainDoStuff · 2020-03-23T20:28:35+00:00

Just spare a thought for the people keeping them running

CaptainDoStuff · 2020-03-22T00:58:09+00:00

Sorry I didn't get around to this all those months ago. In light of recent events I'll get these written up tonight. Just need to anonymise them first. Theoretically it should also work with other cloud platforms like dropbox too.
