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!
@@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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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....
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.
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.
@@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.
@@MarcelRobitaille oh man! So glad to hear you'd be into that, because my partners and I have enough thoughts and opinions on that to make a whole series, which we hope to eventually do.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
@@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, 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.
I'm new to onshape, and I'm trying to create a 3d model of my phone from reference images. So far, I've been working on 1/4 of the phone at a time, and then mirroring the parts to create the beginnings of my model. Is there a way to remove the 3d space between two sketches that occupy the same space? I'm wondering because my phone has a slight slant (from the center to either side, viewing the Front plane), but no slant (from the center of either side, viewing the Right plane), so when I extrude the parts it gives my phone a flat back, as the extrusion of the Right plane model encompasses the area of the extrusion of the Front plane model. I just started Onshape 2 days ago, so the solution may become apparent soon.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Private Assman! My eyes glaze over when I read a verbal description of a modeling challenge, and I'm not the only one who can give helpful advice. My recommendation is to pose this question in the Onshape forum (which I'm also active in), and include screenshots, and a link to your public CAD model. People there are super helpful. forum.onshape.com/
@@ovyl Thank you so much! I'm not at a point where I can fully utilize the tips included in your video, but the "midpoint," "deconstrain," "s-menu," and same-axis alignment of a circle will come in useful soon.

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.
I revisit this every few months and somehow learn something new every time.
