You could go to that forum and start posting links to the one here and see how that goes

That shines a sort of black light on that quote.

Doesn't this depend on how you view suicide? "I give up" vs "I've done my best and now I'm done"

@MJuric There is an upcoming user group meeting that will have 3 Onshape technical service engineers. This would be a good meeting to get their contact information and pose the questions you have on assembly. https://www.onshape.com/en/user-group-network/professional Cool, I'll see if I can get to ...

Hello folks! I'm looking for a CAD software that allows me to enter curves in parametric form and create a coherent sketch element from it or at least handle the input via a csv o.s. As an example, a curve could be derived from the following formula ("a" corresponds to the variable; 0<a<2...

100% agree. Automation only makes senses when it can be delivered with as lower cost or improved quality- repeatability. Most challenges to automation come from the ability to actually quantify the cost of manufacturing a product or a process. There are tools for that too and they have been around ...

I fully understand and agree...but the US is in an interesting position right now...not necessarily the best position...when it come to manufacturing technology.

So I've been using Onshape for a few projects at home. Nothing super complex. That being said there are things I find a bit "clunky" and am wondering if I'm using them wrong or if there are suggestions for places to look for "Tips" for better use. 1) Mates - Onshape appears to be...

SSP is essentially working with layout sketches and planes to make a multibody part. It is one way to make a master model. Every example I've ever seen has been very 2D, meaning that you can capture all or most of the relationships with 1 or 2 2D layout sketches. It works great for cabinets, and fo...

MJuric

Um, I just excerpted (for free) two big chapters out of my book on the topic. Excuse my ignorance on the subject but are "Master Model" and "SSP" interchangeable? Just curious. I've tried to wrap my head around SSP a couple times and have failed miserably each time. Something ab...

I'm glad to see that SW works on his existing Surface. He may be fine with what he's got and it's probably best to wait and see what he finds when he gets there. Or, you could save the money for something else he may need? Prices right now are so jacked that if you can put off buying just about any...

Is there a way to show a flattened sheet metal view on the same sheet as the folded part is dimensioned, etc.? All views seem to want to have the same configuration no matter which it is.

Nah, it's back up. I'm a little disappointed it appears they've been deleting some of the memes I was posting over there from the media library.

So did it finally just completely implode?

The tangent edges are squirrely for me too. I have my new views set to hide tangent edges, but I sometimes set one to Tangent Edges with Font. When I do that, and create projected views from it, it's not uncommon for some to have the same setting and some to have them hidden. Alt Views are really u...

MJuric

What is this setting for? image.png Yes that turns the tangent lines off but I was not sure if the OP was trying to avoid having to do that or if they were thinking they had to remove lines individually.

There isn't a setting specifically for alternate position views that I know of, but there is a setting just for new views in general.

One of the options I suggested to my son was to go ahead and download SW now and see if it will “run” on his Surface Pro. SW will only run on Windows Professional and unless he asked for that specifically it's probably W10 home addition. That will be more of a killer than the hardware. I'm guessing...

I would take a cloud version of SW that is stable, does what you think it should, is consistent, doesn't run out of resources and crash and many more over the Desktop version I currently have.

I'm with ya. Our dryer went out and I couldn't get the motor off the frame. So, I put it at the curb and got a used one off of Craigslist.

I wish I could afford NX. I really miss it. When I'm get some time, I'm going to start a thread on SE vs. SW pricing.

Someone will have to explain to me why you have to jump through that hoop. If the thread is on a face that isn't visible, why are the cosmetic threads visible? Geez, now you're just getting picky.

When you place a GD & T tolerance in the vertical orientation you can flip it to either side of the surface. If you place it in the horizontal orientation you can't. In order to get it to go to the other side of the line you have to put it in the secondary tolerance position? I'm on 2018 SP5 and...
