This is probably the most information dense Onshape tutorial I've seen (also the one with highest signal-to-noise ratio)! Really picked up a lot of new tricks here - thanks so much :)
Wow thanks! Info dense is definitely a big goal on this channel. It's kind of a weird, but relevant application of the golden rules. Make the videos you'd want to watch.
The number of times I've seen "Advanced Tips and tricks" and it's just intermediate bull I already know for AutoCAD but this, this was pretty cool. This is great stuff thank you!
Have just started learning onshape, this is the best video so far. Pleeeaase do some more. I'd be really interested in seeing a video about making mechanical things. Different types of hinges for 3d printing, that sorta thing. Thanks for your content!
Very informative... for a newbie, I would recommend perhaps to just mention which "quick key" you are using a tad more often... would be extremely useful! Thanks for the video!
These are fantastic! THank you! At 5:19 you showed that pen that seems to be only one part (part 1), but it has multiple surface colors? how did you do that?
Lots of great stuff! Going to plug this into our training; as you say something for newbies to strive for and old dogs to learn new tricks. I really appreciate your ID background. The equal look to radii and working with conic is cool. And I too did not know midpoint worked on points - as they say across the pond 'BRILLIANT'! btw I am late with this cuz had vacation last week. Watched it 2x but too kicked back to reply.
@@evanreese8592 a deep dive into "the making of" your captive nut FS could be really cool. love to hear insights/background on challenges you faced, certain coding patterns you tried to follow/avoid, code walk-through etc. a la "Tim Station" videos
Thanks! I always love learning this kind of thing. It's not just faster, but it lets you get into a flow and think more about the design, not the software.
@@ovyl Maybe how to organize a project? Like when to make multiple parts in the same studio, when to make a new one, how to keep everything neat and tidy.

The tip about sketching on mate connectors is life changing. How many times I had to create complicated planes to draw on certain angles or was annoyed by having to select every little face to extrude....
I' ve just made my first two attempts at the same part after one day of watching about onshape cad design. As a software developer variable season must an I actually looked into this right away. I wonder how much of this information you can get as Jason or some other format that you can parse and use in your software. Great tips thank you very much.
I'm not english native and you talk very fast and low, even with that little problem, I've learned a lot. You're amazingly fast and skillful with onshape. The copy paste tool is really powerfull and very handy in lots of situations. Thank you for the video :3 PD: Idk if onshape has a desktop program, but someday I'll buy it. PD2: I wish your vids were in spanish too. That would be helpful to my partners
Excellent videos! Very focused and efficient. If only other content providers would emulate your style, I'd get more of my life back (not wasted enduring bloviating speakers). How many tips and tricks do you have for Mate Connectors?
Thanks! I'm working hard to cut all the fluff out in order to make the content I'd prefer to watch, which is dense, to-the-point, and not introductory (there's enough of that our there anyway). Mate connector tips is a good topic. I'll give some thought to whether there's a whole video there or how else to present it.
Thanks! A few things are obsolete because of updates (for example, you can flip a plane now, but before a mate connector was the only way), but it holds up for the most part.
Hello, thanks for your tips. I have a question. Is there a way to construct the fillets (shown in 4:50) as a feature rather than a sketch element? Sometimes, I want to remove the fillets, which can be done much easier when it's a feature.
Since the release of this video the standard fillet feature has a "width" option which does this, but you can only do a continuous chain at once, which means that, for my example here, it would require 5 separate fillet features. I'd link the value with a variable too if doing it that way. The "Modify Fillet" feature can also remove them downstream if you prefer that workflow.
Glad it was useful. I don't recall now, but I think I may have actually sped it all up a few percent since the video was long, and also I would have edited out any long spinny wheel time since it doesn't make great TV, so take the snappiness with a grain of salt. Aside from that, This was done on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) with 2.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 memory, and I'm using Chrome as the browser.
I really enjoyed this tips & tricks session - thanks heaps for posting. However, as a slow Aussie 🙃 I had to reduce YT playback speed to 0.75 as the author spoke way too fast for me to comprehend anything he said.
What is he doing when he says he can "set them to driving" at about 2:00. It looks like he can just grab anywhere on the screen and move the objects around. I'm a noob...thanks to anyone!
You can right click a dimension and choose "Change to driven dimension". It will keep the dimension around, but greyed out, and will be read-only instead of locking the sketch objects to a certain dimension. I should have had that be tip 32, haha
I wanted to watch your video, just beginning. The audio was not good. Slowed to 0.75, it was worse, with artifacts as well. Sorry, I had to abort. If you post again, I’ll try again.
@@ovyl I drive truck for a living, make great money yet it doesn't challenge me. Its boring and my overall quality of life is rather dull. Im learning cad now since 3d printers are cheap. I don't know if I will ever do cad for a living but to be able to design my own stuff gives me autonomy.
Sounds frustrating. The capabilities are definitely there though. if you just generally want to learn Onshape there are lots of tutorials online to get you going. If you're still stuck after that the Onshape forums have lots of helpful people to help through your specific case.
I know this is a really old comment, but Onshape is actually really intuitive once you learn it. Everything you just stated can be done in less than 10 seconds
Thanks for the feedback, Terry. I do aim for ninja-like CAD speed, but I hope it wasn't too frustrating. For the future, you can also click the gear icon on the video and pick a slower playback speed. Getting the speed perfect for everyone isn't possible, so I've opted to make the kind of videos I want to watch, which means I try to move quickly, and not ramble or spend time re-hashing information that people can get from other tutorials.
@@ovylI think you've covered it before but I forgot how to make two connecting lines one if you click it ? Like how do I fuse lines together ? I'm stuck trying to loft this funny shape
@@Shaunandshaunsounds like you want to "unsplit" a line, which isn't really a thing. You could delete one of them and edit the other. If you're lofting and getting weird issues at the splits though, "match connections" is the setting in Loft to learn.
@@ovyl thank you I'll check that out . I've been doing non stop research since I sent that and I think the 'composite curves' tool kinda works for this ? Btw love the videos been a great help 👍
@@Shaunandshaun Thanks. Check out the Fit Spline tool set to Edges too, but for what you're describing I'd just re-draw the line how you need it to be.
Thanks for the feedback. It was a known risk in reaction to the many rambly, slow, basic tutorials out there. This video is for intermediate/advanced users (not beginners) and shooting for maximum info density. It's totally possible that it's swung a bit far, but there are always the slower playback speed options.
Thanks for the feedback. My goal here is to make intermediate to advanced content since there's already a ton of good introductory content out there, so I do design the videos on the assumption of a certain comfortability with Onshape. I favor moving quick knowing that people can slow down the video playback or watch more than once.
One of those videos that I would like to thumbs-up more than once.
I revisit this every few months and somehow learn something new every time.
yesssss!

Very tight tutorial and useful hints! I've been using Onshape for years, but many of your tips were new to me. Thanks. You've earned my subscription.
Almost everything you showed were things I hoped existed and didn't know they did.
Thank you! I think I'll be reviewing this very often
My university made is complete an online onshape course, none of these things were taught so its great to learn new and very useful tricks.
The number of times I've seen "Advanced Tips and tricks" and it's just intermediate bull I already know for AutoCAD but this, this was pretty cool. This is great stuff thank you!

Thanks! I've gotten this feedback before about slowing down, especially for non-native speakers. Will do.
You can slow down (or speed up) any YT by clicking on the settings wheel on the video's menu bar and selecting the desired playback speed.
Really useful tips. Thanks!
Thanks, Trevor! Some of them have been made obsolete with new capabilities in Onshape, but most of them hold up pretty well imo.
