Everything about this program is "Jesus - it was that easy all along!" Its brilliant. I feel stupid for persisting so long with illustrator.
lol - awesome!
Yes, it's a big time saver!
I often use a construction rectangle to locate a point in x and y (instead of adding two dimensions), similar to what you showed for the circle.
Also having the box active after clicking (as opposed to the SW way where it's only active before you place the end point), means that you can pick up a relation first and then set the dimension. In your first sketch example you could have left out the "87-55" and just added the 87 on you last vertical line instead (would also be clearer if the 87 max height is your design intent!).
Ohhh thats pretty cool! I'm gonna start trying that! Thanks Airwick!
For the last part if you want to find the center for your circle. You can also hover over the midpoint of one side and then also the midpoint of the other side. It will then remember both and automatically show lines and give you the center.
Ohhhh!!! thats a MEGA PRO TIP!! thanks Kadettv8!!
As a new CAD user, I've gone through some of Toby's youtube videos and tried to do some of the design challenges he presents.
The thing that slows me down the most is being able to position plains at the point where I need them. This is especially true for plains that are awkwardly placed and not on an existing face. I'd love to see a video on efficiently placing plains. Thanks!
did you work out a better way then zooming in an out
I had no idea this existed! That’s much less tedious than switching between sketch geometry and dimensioning.
I’m glad I’m already onboard with prioritizing construction geometry to avoid dimension calcs in dependencies.
I agree this is a super efficient workflow!
I've watched 4 short videos and learned more in that time than anything else. I have to reproduce the rear cover of my 20 year old bike GPS! Still going strong apart from the backplate which is broken. I had the option of a new buy GPS (£600+) or a 3D printer and a GPS at the end of it if I could print the back plate! It's a pretty weird shape but with these ace videos I can likely get it done much faster than messing around in plasticity. Kudos Sir!
Awesome!! So glad these are helpful! Thanks so much for the wonderful story!
I was familiar with circles and rectangles, but I didn't know that I could set dimensions on lines while drawing. Great tip, thanks ;)
Nice! Glad this helped!
As a current Solidworks user, I missed this functionality during my use of Autodesk Inventor! It just works so well and it's definitely a timesaver.
yeah agree! I was so excited to see that this was built into Onshape!
Yes, I have discovered and used this auto dimensioning. But your video is an excellent description of this really good feature.
awww yeah! Thanks for the kind words!
Brand new to OnShape and this is a great time and movement saver. Great Tip!
Awesome! Glad this helps!!
Keep ‘‘em coming! Every time you give these shorts I try to incorporate them into the next drawing iteration. Thanks !
Great to hear and glad these are helpful!
Did I already know about this? Yes.
Did I learn something? Also yes.
😀
nice!
awesome. greetings from germany
Awww yeah! Grüße aus Philadelphia!
I figured this out the other day, its really handy 👍
Aww yeah I agree!!
Love these tips and tricks.
Thanks! Lots more to come!
Woah! I’m an Onshape noob but I happened to figure this out while doing some modeling. You guys have great UI/UX for me to naturally figure that out just by using the software. Didn’t know about the math bit though!
Awesome! Yeah I've self discovered quite a bit of cool functionality, and I agree this is testament to a wonderful UI/UX design!
The math bit usually comes up when trying to use the Variable feature!
Nice vid as always Toby! speaking of saving some time, maybe you can look into using a keystroke visualizer application so that you dont have to manually edit in what keys you press? one example is Keyviz witch is open source, but i'm sure there are others as well. thanks again!
Great tip! Thanks I'll look into it!
I haven't tried "keyviz" but I have been using "key'n'Strokes" and I find it helps to see what is going on (especially the mouse icon showing the button presses, as an alternate to the "mouse cam")
Thank you.
Glad this helped mike!
Good info. :)
thanks!
Tem como autodimensionar os desenhos que estão na folha 2D?
👍
😀
I work only Android mobile app. So any trick are available suggest thnk
In Android app. On mobile this trick work ?
