Onshape sketch on cylinder. Somethig like this (see the picture).

Onshape sketch on cylinder First, click the Wrap feature tool on the toolbar. " Sadly I think because the projection to the cylinder is from a flat plane and not wrapped around the cylinder I won't be able to use that to generate the required cam profile. I want to project it on the curved surface of a cylinder and then extrude it. You could Use (convert/project) the edge as a construction line and then constrain to I am hoping someone can suggest a creative way that I can configure a sticker part to be either flat or wrapped onto a cylinder. I want to clean-cut half of the cylinder edge by 45 deg. Another way, which is a slight variation on @shanshan's method: to sketch a radial line on a plane through the end of the cylinder (If you have a point which lies on that notional plane, eg the centre point of the circular edge, you can make a "line-point" construction plane, by picking that circular edge of the surface as a "line") Pick the line and do a "Revolve/Surface", picking the Drag the ball point to a point on the sketch you wish to use as a snap point: Use the plane to drag the sketch ball point to the snap point on another sketch (in this case the lower-left point of the square): Click off the sketch to set the transform: For The way it works in interactive sketches is that the right sketch entities are created as generated FS and constrained to be projections of the source. This works for through-all stuff. The more holes and lines you have, the more labor-intensive it Ok, played with it more and made some progress. Now you are ready to extrude your text sketch. I've got a front sketch (that I am extruding) and the sketch on the right plane that constructs the length I can make the part as a straight cylinder but can't then draft it to create a slight taper. I created a part (first attempt) via a loft and thicken. But what if you want to have text or a logo on a non-cylindrical surface? This Tech Tip explains how to do this. How can I dimension hole locations on a flattened cylinder? jeremy_lee540 Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. A like and sub would be appreciated!My Setup:Camera- Hello, I"m new to Onshape and cad drawing and i was wondering how to make holes on a round shape for instance lets say there are holes on a glas or a bottle. Is there a way to suppress the projection of the edge of the cylinder onto the sketch plane? Please see gif Hey @bart_de_coninck, I would advise you look a bit more into the concept of mating and mate connectors in Onshape. Would that work for you? Thanks. First time visiting? Here are some places to start: Added another part studio The one called WIDER gives a more round shape to the words SEE Hey Steve. Even a very simple part made by extruding an open sketch will not convert the bend to the bend table. Created a sketch on that plane with a simple line 3. BTW The closed guide curve can be split if it is in a single sketch, but there seems no Onshape way of picking multiple curves to specify a guide curve Point - Select a vertex, sketch point, Mate connector (implicit or explicit), or the origin Line - Select a linear edge, sketch line, or cylindrical face to get its axis Onshape remembers the selection for the plane type and opens the dialog with the last selected option in subsequent operations. I have the circle drawn on the face in a sketch, but I can't see any way to @patricia_ma Assuming you are modelling the body as a revolve about a vertical axis through the origin: Sketch a rectangle on the "Front" construction plane, and "Extrude/Solid/Remove" through all in one direction to create a single rebate. I think configuration variables like you have are the best solution to add limits, but I've also had times where the best workaround is to declare the variable, then later declare the same variable with a clamp() function like this example. Until this point, everything worked great. Click Front in the Features window or Front in the View window. Take some measurements and use 2D sketch entities for reference. In this example, you are wrapping a sketch onto a cylinder and then extruding that sketch. Love it! I fooled around with a copy of your document and I think I had the result you seek by closing the sketch of the sweep profile by creating a full circle instead of an arc to use as the sweep profile. Ilya Baran \ VP, Architecture and FeatureScript \ Onshape Inc 0 @glen_dewsbury Nice riff! I've run into that with variables sometimes. Am I missing it somewhere? Yes, it is easy enough to create one other ways, but a tool similar to the shift-f for creating a fillet in Hi all! New to Onshape here. I mean NOT text but a sketch of my own, that I did by my self. But you can't extrude a 3D entity, so you should use move face or thicken. Then create an offet circle from that for the bottom of the groove. Any That did give me an idea, though. Create a sketch on the bottom face. This example assumes you have a sketch of the text to wrap. Search on the forum for a custom feature with such name, and if you provide honeycomb flat pattern and desired cylinder geometry, i'll look at it › Sketch Wrapper. You can only constrain to sketch entities and the cylinder is a part not a sketch entity. 4. If you were to apply mates for many components I think one should be able to do it in the most intuitive way. 181 New in Onshape; 45 Simulation; 180 Onshape Mobile; 282 App Store & Partners Apps; 30 Public Model of the Week; 6. I understand creating an elbow joint would be a easy task with "Sweep". There are several geometric / kernel issues going on here - not an excuse, but a matter of fact - the internal cylinder is a full surface so it may be confused as to what it is extruding up to and the sketch extends past the cylinder silhouette which may also be causing an issue. I suppose I could drop some more sketch planes and use the existing edges to make my profiles, I selected the face of the cylinder and the Another option would be to somehow export every sketch as a 3D sketch and batch import them into the CAD file opened already in Onshape. but a few other ways (besides sketch, extrude/remove already suggested) to accomplish that would be draft tool, move face tool. My cylinder block has symmetrical steam ports going at an angle from the face into the cylinder. This is a useful technique for creating complex shapes and patterns i am trying to make a new plain on the surface of two cylinders to make a support. To make the knob wider at the base. I'm trying to sketch a circle on that face, so I can extrude a cylinder from it (dowel pin). Don't see how to add mating connectors in the extrude. I need this square support (highlighted) to be centered on the cylindrical mount stand. The Onshape team are the UI masters, so I don't have any real suggestions, but just by way of making sure you know what I mean you might: (1) add a boolean toggle to the sketch itself to recognize them or not, maybe even by auto-creating a plane on the face, (2) Add some way to quickly select regions bounded by sketch geo, not face geo just by I managed to create a simple bowl-like shape by making this sketch: And then revolving the sketch to create this: Now, I would like to embellish the design by putting a helical design around the edge of the plant pot. Create planes by using curve point method for each line. Starting point for each helix is timed correctly. See the below GIF animation. Sign In That means extruding a cylinder and then cutting off a half-moon from its end. You could create a cylinder with your first extrude by using New instead of Remove and put the helix on the cylinder, continuing on with the sweep. 5K Using Onshape; 1. Here's one method. I'm fairly new to OnShape and to CAD but wouldn't the simplest method be to use Plane to create a new plane, draw the circles for your washer on the new plane and then use the Wrap to place it on the cylinder and define Those tools will get your sketch onto the curved surface. See Show/hide The first step is to open Documents and click Create. I then want to mate this cut-off face with the outside of a second cylinder, which › Sketch Wrapper. Engraving Text on a Cylinder in Onshape I need a sketch's plane to be perpendicular to the plane of another sketch so that I can revolve a ridge around a cylindrical pin, basically I need the sketch's plane to always cut the pin head in half, how could I go about doing this? I want to make a feature like what happens in the first part studio to the cylinder pin, "Tab Connection Testing. It'll take me a bit longer to fully @glen_dewsbury Nice riff! I've run into that with variables sometimes. Evan Reese. Now select the geometry you previously sketched for the shape. On the basis of this sketch in the part studio was made a all parts and inserted into the assembly. Disable Imprinting OFF - the sketch goes around the cylinder. Remember, you can sketch on any flat surface. I used the USE tool to enclose them. First time visiting? Here are some Onshape parts typically begin with a sketch. 9K FeatureScript; 219 Learning Center; 164 Education Community @VM While inside a part studio, within a sketch, there is a button called "Import DXF or DWG". In doing so, I eliminated having to do any positioning from within the Wrap dialog box, as the shape now wraps onto the front of the part from the get-go. I envisage makeing a few different patterns using the same concept. Paul_J_Premakumar Member, Onshape Employees Posts: 214. in your case you apply rotational transform at 90 deg, which is Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. In solidworks I can click on the cylinder and the diameter and height dimensions appear and I can dynamically adjust them with drag handles - as I do so the model changes too (called "Instant 3D" in SW lingo. Sure. I think configuration variables like you have are the best solution to add limits, but I've also had times I have an assembly with one part studio - a cylinder Then I create a new part studio in context of the assembly and create a new sketch on the plane of the lower base of the cylinder. I cannot do the former for reasons I discuss in my original post. To apply a text or imported DXF sketch On this channel we make objects in Onshape!We start from easy stuff so you can build your skill level up. A layout sketch will help your features to regenerate when small changes need to be made. Unfortunately the design is proprietary so I can't show it, but an example would Hi, I am fairly new to Onshape. You could craete a sketch plane in parallel to your groove and sketch then 'use' the outer cylinder in that sketch. You are able to choose how to fix the ends. I have drawn the initial patern, extruded then created a plane on the extruded face and a second time to generate the full depth shape. if you select a circle with no dia dimension defined, it'll show you the original dia you dragged it out to when you created the new circle and you'll see if in the bottom right callout, but you won't be able to change it. However, I do not want that the cut will be a projection of the sketch plane over the cylinder, but the cut is the result of "folding" the shape The Wrap feature is used in Onshape to project sketches onto cylindrical surfaces. I'm new to Onshape, and I'm not sure how to go about it. I am trying to draw a simple cylinder in OS. I am working on my final project for an Onshape-affiliated class. Click on the Origin. Its a test so just want to trim off the top and bottom parts of the cylinder. Make a sketch on the same plane as your lines. If you step through his Feature list you should get the logic. The onscreen approximation of an ideal cylinder, is itself an approximation of a real bearing shaft with all the variations created by the materials and manufacturing processes used. 1) Import a sketch into the assembly - mate the blocks to each side of an entity in the sketch and the cylinder to a mate connector at the mid-point of an entity. I'd start with a sketch of one diameter and include a "draft" in my extrude. Extrusion of the maglite body 2. My understanding is that all surfaces, even those that topologically knit together to form a solid, are 4 sided parametric entities with whatever underlying math (most likely non-uniform rational b-spline or bezier). You can toggle it under the View cube drop down menu, right at the bottom of the menu: After that, the Hi all, I could have worded my question in many different ways, but I think that above is the easiest to understand. Click Sketch. Hello The only problem is it I'm trying to create what amounts to a saddle shaped square groove around a hole in the side of a cylinder. On the tangent plane create a sketch of the hex grid. Because the cylinder wall is round, there are no edges between the orange and gray. The original model where I first saw the issue had a smaller outer circle in the second sketch. So I can extrude a circle out from a sketch plane at a tangent to the I have a part I'm working on which has an extrusion with a rectangular face. Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. Learn how to sketch and extrude on a curved surface using Onshape with this informative tutorial. The next trick was to use a Wrap feature using the Split boolean operator with the face of the boss cylinder as it's Target. matthew_stacy I am trying to figure out how to properly mate a cylinder feature to another rectangular feature. cylinder or arbitary extracted surfaces, Sketch Wrapper FS has a better perfomance but works only with cone and cylinder faces, Fold FS handles arbitary extracted surfaces but has rather poor perfomance. I chose 4 in. the current disabling of entities not on sketch plane actually seems to I'm designing a part that has a push button 5mm out from the side of a cylinder, but I want the top of the push button to have the same curve as the cylinder. I have two sketches which I have derived from separate blueprint drawings. First time visiting? hi, my Sketch wrapper FS works with cylinder and cone faces, and Fold FS works with arbitary extruded faces, so it can help if your profile lies on one of the described surface types. I'm new to Onshape. It's a constant struggle as Extruded a circle to make a (hollow) cylinder. oscar_rehnström Member Posts: Select the A practical application is to wrap text around a cylinder. Now we'll add the launch lug to so we can put the rocket on the pad; Select the sketch tool ; Click on bottom of the cylinder; Notice how a new sketch I have a part I'm working on which has an extrusion with a rectangular face. Both these tools have been VERY useful to me in MANY of my projects. My issue is different. Set the diameter to twice the depth you want. I am trying to translate the attachment sites of the Using Onshape’s Profile Inspector. I designed one with a plane to follow the angle (3 point) then a normal plane to put a sketch on to generate port shape and an extrusion (removal) up to the port on the face. By the way, in the manner that I did the extrudes, if you try and boolean those three inner cylinders with the outer part, you’re going to run into problems. Click Document. A practical application is to wrap text around a cylinder. This allows the limits to change based on other things. Create an offset plane (any distance as we are collapsing it later) and sketch on that plane the inner circle. I made a mate connection between the one piston and the cylinder (slider mate) and between cam and the piston (tangent mate)! And it works. The imprinting option can also have a major impact on performance. You could’ve also used the Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. kevin_o_toole_1 Onshape Employees, Developers, HDM Posts: 565 May 2019 Not Philip, but I believe "use" on a face will work unless the face is wholly or partially perpendicular to the sketch (the same is true for "use" on edges but it's less common). . I am running Safari on a Mac The Fillet sketch tool creates fillets or rounds with a specified radius along one or more lines, arcs, and splines. There is a move command in the sketch dialog, but it moves the lines in the sketch, not the whole sketch. However, I do not want that the cut will be a projection of the sketch plane over the cylinder, but the cut is the result of "folding" the shape I got the app sketch wrap which applies the sketch on a cylinder, but I am unable to extrude a channel using that applied Home › Community Support. @svenolov_nystrom I moved the sketch from the front plane, to a plane I created just IN FRONT OF the cylinder. However, I can't create the bend. First time visiting? You should be able to do this in 2 steps. CAD; and you 18. First time visiting? Here are some places to start: I think OS has a feature now that can wrap sketches on cylinder and cones but not other organic surfaces/shapes. The inner profile you were trying to keep was not fully coincident with the outer rectangle you have for your cutting profile. I was hoping a Chamfer would do it, but that's not behaving like I thought. How to do it in the onshape? KR, Alex. 1) Wrap a sketch on a cylindrical face 2) Project a sketch onto any analytical surface (same as extrude up to face) So I made these 2 diamonds and connected them with a loft and now I want to wrap this loft around a cylinder so that way I have a pattern on there. Fillet the inside edges with a radius equal to the depth. If you want to explicitly control the X dimension, then Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. see cylinder block here. The first tool on the Part Studio toolbar is Sketch (to the right of the Undo/Redo icons). Some things about Onshape Use may be different from other systems, including: Onshape does not constrain the ends of the silhouette edge. If you want the parts separate, then sketch the Hi Marty, I would recommend creating a single hexagonal cell with the cylinder cut out in the middle, and then using the linear pattern feature to make a row of these cells. To replicate the above exactly you would have to combine the features manually. You could just as easily create most (not all) of the external and internal profile in one sketch and revolve, like this: Note that some of the chamfers are drawn - "functional" chamfers should be drawn, "cosmetic" chamfers should use the chamfer tool (as a rule). Sign in or register to get started. You can also put a sketch on the cut face, offset the perimeter by the desired amount and extrude along the axis using the "direction" option. This means you can have a planar surface anywhere you like, put a sketch on that (maybe making use of the "use" function to project the outline of the cylinder) and then make a hole. You could always create a sketch on the Right plane and The Wrap feature tool allows you to wrap a surface or sketch entity around a cylinder. The Hi, I was trying to us this Sketch Wrapper FS but either it's not working (or doesn't support what I'm doing), or I'm doing something wrong. Here is the 18. Often, the simplest workaround for this is to use the face directly in other operations (for instance, extrude using face as entities, but choose direction, start and end bounds as needed). When making a sketch on the face of a part, Onshape will imprint all of the arcs, points, and lines so that they can be used for To model this part, you shouldn't really use the hole tool. Extrude the circle as a solid (instead of as a cut), draft the cylinder, and then intersect it I believe they are 2 different questions. To get your hole around the circumference, draw a circle on the top my intent with this FS was to allow to wrap sketch on any plane to any cylinder, so you don't need to to build sketches on tangent planes. Step 5: Use the boolean tool to subtract I am extruding the face, and would like to specify extrusion length by a point on a sketch. you may be interested to know that you can wrap a sketch use a sketch with a circle cross section and another sketch with a slanted line, then just look at the sweep command 1 owen_sparks Member, Developers Posts: 2,660 PRO Then it wraps your sketch around the face and cuts to a depth (or thru) The result is a cut extrude that when flattened will be used on a laser/plasma/waterjet cutter with all the cuts "normal to the flattened sheet face" Right now OS does not allow flattening of cylinders, or sketched bends with large radius (a cheat for a sheet-metal cylinder) If we get sketched bends with large radius, it For example, if I extrude a cylinder and then create a new sketch on one of the endcap faces of the cylinder, no problem, I can reference any portion of that circular shape. Then click the Target field in the dialog and select the cylinder in the graphics area. Howdy, Stranger! It looks like you're new here. I need this square support (highlighted) to be centered on the cylindrical On this channel we make objects in Onshape!We start from easy stuff so you can build your skill level up. I can't use wrap Good question. To add this custom feature to your tool bar, go to the Surface Text Onshape document and add the feature to your tool bar with the Custom features button. and then sketch a circle to extrude, or sweep. I'm trying to build a Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. Next, use configuration variables to control the number of cells you want of that hexagonal piece -- in the link you added, it looks like there is one 4 cell row, one 5 cell row, and one 6 cell row. I have the circle drawn on I've tried a lot of different attempts at doing this, including: * Create a plane tangential to the cylinder, create a sketch with a circle and then create a second sketch containing the 45 Great discussion as always - just to be clear there are two 'exact' scenarios. john_mcclary Member, Developers Posts: 3,937 PRO. Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask (or ultimately, the center of the bends in the dxf file). Let's imagine a circle extruded into a cylinder. "See how it's not lining up"? No I don't see because I'm not sure what you are trying to align. but in the case of a cylinder, I think you could just use If you finish the current sketch and then create a new one, you can choose to create the sketch on a mate connector. Answers. I chose 1 in. Click a second time So let’s take the case of a cylinder that points directly at the sketch so that its edge projects as a circle. On a perpendicular plane (may need to create one) sketch a line that pierces the outer radius and the inner radius. If what you need is a surface rounded in 2 Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the You could also, while in the coincident constraint tool, select the top of that cylinder, then the point. There are two resources here: there was an issue for me using the tangent mate with the two cylinders so I used the sketch of the brown cylinder instead. An alternative method may be to place one cylinder Or, you can leave the entire sketch undimensioned to get the right shape, then only apply the spline length; this way the sketch will grow or shrink and keep proportions to fit the spline length. 4K Drawings; 1. but i can't figure out how to do that. SolidWorks opens Inventor parts or assemblies and importing my part even shows the existing sketch plane but it has no text on it. You could also sketch the angled cylinder/partial cone from a side view and Revolve it pretty easily, or even chamfer I need to cut a shape from a sketch on a cylinder. (a) Sketch on flat end of cylinder (b) Draw single triangular profile of knurl (c) Extrude remove triangle (c) Circular face pattern to make all the other cuts. Thanks for sharing this 'secret' gem ;-) I hope the UX designers understand that that is an issue. The Wrap feature allows you to wrap a surface or sketch entity around a cylinder with ease. Is there an Onshape equivalent of SolidWorks "Insert->Surface-> Flatten" the best thing to do is make a projection of the surface and then scale it to the length of the cylinder. You could try using sketch wrapper Feature Script, find and here: https: I'm trying to model an engine block. I already have a 3D structure that I want to wrap onto a cylinder. I am in the process of attempting to replicate a french press coffee press. Say I create a cylinder from a circle sketch. The end condition between the loft and the front face is also correct I would, however, like the bottom 'end profile condition' to be normal to the 'top' plane as per the picture below Can Some time ago I've learnt that using a single Sketch to create multiple shapes/parts from the single sketch is a powerful tool of onShape. There are two ways to make a point coincident with the projection of that edge: Select it, and the point, and add a I'm trying to wrap a sketch to a cylinder, but I'm not able to select my sketch for the wrap. i try to repeat the sketch with an offset, when i was doing the opBoolean i created several cylinders that i used a qUnion to put them all together for the Boolean for example: Q1/2_ In Onshape, slots can be quickly and easily created using the Slot sketch feature. So if the surface you're trying to align to already exists, just sketch on that surface. 2) If the distance between the blocks is known, then in the part studio defining the block, create a mate connector that is offset by half the distance between the blocks. The wrap function only supports Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. Onshape converts the single line, arc, or spline into a slot. This creates the threaded body to subtract from part 1. First, you will sketch the profile that you have (this will Good morning!I've been using Onshape for years now, and while I seem to run in to issues fairly frequently, it's typically due to the keyboard-to-chair interface (Me). I've attached a photo of the (many) sketches I used to try to loft, Step 3: Sketch the keyway, add dimensions (which is what I didn't do) Step 4: Extrude the keyway using the new sketch as a new part, reverse the direction so the new part interferes with the shaft. one other way would be to create the If I try to extrude a circle into a cylinder I select my line sketch and then extrude -> Surface onshape just shows "sketch curves to extrude" (in blue and green - which sounds better than red) 5. Now, how I got to what you're seeing: I created a plane, sketched out the rivet pattern, and then projected that pattern I am trying to recreate the shape in the picture. Therefore if I may and correct me if wrong but to be clear, the equal constraint works as desired whenever the sketches are on planes which are parallel to each other. I had been setting the tangent line perpendicular to the plane, and instead drew a new line from the cylinder axis to the helix endpoint and used that as the perpendicular reference; now it works as intended. First time visiting? Here are some places to start: Looking for a certain topic? Check out the categories filter or use Search (upper right). November 2017. SolidWorks is Extrude Cut, then choose what to keep, what is the Onshape equivalent?. B takes viewers on an exploration of how to wrap sketches on a cylinder using Onshape. Onshape does not distinguish between "bits" of silhouette edges, like in this example of a cylinder with a hole through it: Create lines on cylinder face as per required angle. make a helix on the cylinder with the correct pitch. At the moment I have to use the end of the cylinder and snap some construction lines to the end of the resultant line. The result should be something like that:----- / ( \-----Hope that's understandable. I chose the left side of the surface as the path start. I figured I'd lay it all out and then use the Circular Pattern command to create 24 instances 360 degrees around the cylinder. Type "Document Name". I am new to onshape and CAD, and trying to learn various techniques. 1. Then used the replace face feature to mate them with the How to do it in the onshape? KR, Alex. Hopefully you can see the issue in these images, or if you have time, you Hi @gerald_comeau! To section the cylinder, it means turning the "Section View" on. Need support? Ask a question to our Community Support category. However the surface I’m wrapping to is flat-bent-flat. Use the sketch slot feature to make slots centered on your centerline. Extrude-remove the slots into the part to the desired depth. My understanding is that if I click on "edges or cylinders to bend", I should be able to select the edge of one of the two sketches. I then want to mate this cut-off face with the outside of a second cylinder, which I think should be possible. Hello Onshape community! I've been doing quite well as a noob building a simple part Basically, I think I need to first sketch another layer to my cylinder, extrude it, then somehow cut away the channels at 1/3 the perimeter. Shouldn't that be possible? Thanks, Scotty. Select the In the sketch draw a line from the centre of the cylinder to the surface, constrain ends to the cylinder surface and the centre, set angle as desired. The sketch point does not have to touch the part you want to cut. Hi Next we create sketches that contain generic circles - one I made a sketch in one plane and used the wrap feature to project it through the walls of the cylinder, however, the wrap feature does this weird taper (picture 2) and I want that grove to ⵊ am making a decorative bead and am using a Onshape document to give a clear picture of what the disign should be. However I can't figure out how to make a sketch or an extrusion that follows the curve of the cylinder. You could also one of several I am trying to figure out how to properly mate a cylinder feature to another rectangular feature. I then created a sheet metal model using "thicken" mode and selected the sketch regions from my two sketches. You are able to choose how to fix The official Onshape Reddit community dedicated to providing help to Onshape CAD users in need and to cultivate says, I need to wrap a sketch. As face pattern is not very robust solution against future edits to the part I would suggest using sketch pattern instead and extrude all sketch entities with one extrude command. It's a shape 3D printers are good at; I've had some Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. Somethig like this (see the picture). Help please? Thanks Hi, I'm trying to design a steam engine. A like and sub would be appreciated!My Setup:Camera- When creating views of parts and surfaces, centerlines are automatically hidden on circular geometry such as holes, cylinders, and spheres. So you could either do a composite or there’s other solutions, such as doing an overlap of the inner cylindrical parts with the outer shell, or separating the cylinders from the shell. Meaning that you need to select the cylinder AND the bottom (if the hole is not going through). However, the Helix tool seems to only want to make a helix in the form of a perfect cylinder. the disadvantage is that wrapped curves generally are not aligned with source sketches, but you can achive that by manipulating mate connector position relatively to the sketch. Onshape's features don't have a lot of the useful combined operations yet (like drafting an extrude). I'd suggest you create them in the proper position in the first place. In the sketch, it's just a circle. and in the same way you can mate to an assembly sketch (considering that in Onshape an assembly sketch is any sketch in the part studio). Sketch the bottom or top tread; Sketch a circle for an axis; Extrude the circle as a surface to the height you want; Create a helix around the axis cylinder with it's starting point at the tread; Curve pattern the first tread along the helix So frustrated, have tried split and extrude but cannot seem to trim away this cylinder with rectangle sketch. Today’s Tech Tip will focus on using the Wrap feature to emboss or engrave text on a cylindrical surface. What is a bit weird about that is the blind extrude not cutting out a massive hole in your part. Created the path by creating an 'intersection curve' of the cylinder surface and the newly created surface (from point 3) Whether that's the most elegant way - I doubt it, but eventually it has worked out after some desperation The hole feature is clever little beast. Then use the line point If you put the sketch plane for the wrap at the bisector angle between the two gusset shapes, the wrap will stay centered on that area. If you want the rebate to be thicker at the outer face than inside the "battlements", instead sketch on the top face of the body, a slice of pie whose Hi, I'm new to Onshape and try to work me in. However, sketches can't be created on rounded objects. I have drawn a simple cylindrical form,and want to place 3 radial holes Another approach: To maintain the shape of the hexagons and keep the hexagon cuts normal to the surface, I have found this method to work well: Create the ellipse or circle shape on the top A practical application is to wrap text around a cylinder. You can choose "Add" from the extrude feature, or use "boolean->Union" to combine the parts, then you can fillet. g. I see the copy function of the sketches, however I don't know how to paste. This creates a new face on the cylinder that will be used for the subsequent Loft feature of the gusset. How can I wrap the image around the cylinder? 0. All you had to do if you didn't know Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. The orientation of the cylinder axis should be configurable to at Hello David, welcome to Onshape and 3D printing. Hi everyone, I faced a behavior of wrap feature that confused me. I'm after a more general mapping function that maps any 2D curve or curves onto any 3D surface, not just a cylinder. If you then hover over that area, you should be able to select the center of Thanks @MichaelPascoe - I've been challenged to figure out how to control your feature to get a simple 2D spiral with the dimensions / attributes that I need. You could then use the Extrude feature or Wrap feature to add or remove it from a solid part. Right, I find sometimes a 2D sketch is the best way to figure this out, Putting I will eventually be sweeping the path but I can't figure out how to lay the path on a cylindrical surface first. Onshape's built-in Profile Inspector identifies open profile ends and sketch elements, highlighting them in red or yellow when hovering over I'm hoping someone can help me! The button needs to be curved which adds an extra layer of complexity. When creating a sketch I see a fillet tool, but not a chamfer tool. That will get you this: Or, if your goal is just to Yes. First, define the shape of your slot (or slots) using a line, arc, or spline tool. You can also search and add custom features inside your own documents using the built in "Add custom features" tool: Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. I would create a cylinder with a plane tangent to the face. Or, fully dimension it with the shape you want, offset the Properly align the helix to the correct starting point for each screw. Sign In or Register to comment. Thanks for the answer, but that's not what I'm looking for. You can always double check your work by first making sure the sketch is constrained (the lines will turn from blue to black) and if you are still having trouble change the extrude cut to chenken_lupi If you create an Plane>Offset the distance you require between cylinder banks you will be able to, using the new Plane, create a new Sketch and project your existing (cylinder centre) lines into the new sketch. Then use a similar system to that which you have already done to assemble/place your Cylinder sleeves. I would like to extend the solid spiral into the shaft with a smooth transition. Click circle. Disable Imprinting ON - the sketch ignores the cylinder. For the pocket on the side there I had to create the plane through the center of the cylinder and then make the second plane using an offset. In this tutorial, I will show you how to wrap sketches around a cylinder using two popular CAD softwares: Onshape and Fusion. Select the Sketch from the Features list or in the graphics area. At this point, just simply Loft between the "Split Face" on the cylinder and the Bottom Loft Sketch. But I can't. I made the circular hole using a sketch drawn on the Front plane there. On the top face of your central cylinder, in the sketch "Desired Position of Pillar", OnShape will infer a Mate @alco933, @glen_dewsbury correctly identified the transform tool as the right way to do it and pointed you in the right direction in his answer. Wrapping the sketch and extruding the circles. First, select the fillet tool from the sketch toolbar, then click on a point. First time visiting? let’s take the case of a cylinder that points directly at the sketch so that its edge projects as a circle. Now you have an easier way of positioning the slot, and all done from within the sketch. I've successfully gotten I want to be able to snap the edges of cylinders. The end condition between the loft on the cylinder is correct. But in the example I linked above, the plan is at 45 degrees to the revolved shape and I cannot wake up the edge of that shape to constrain to it (without the Use command). I created them in different Parts Studios. As an example, If I create a drawing perpendicular to a I was kind of able to accomplish this by creating a two cylinders around the sphere. Now we'll add the launch lug to so we can put the rocket on the pad; Select the sketch tool ; Click on bottom of the cylinder; Notice how a new sketch Learn how to create high-quality complex curves in sketches using Onshape’s sketching tools: Arc, Conic, Ellipse, Spline, and Bezier. However, I thought it would be easier if I traced the side profile from an image and then somehow extrude it into a cylinder shape, which I Hello Please excuse this newbie question, but if I select a plane (e. Next, enter a precise dimension using your keyboard. The hole feature is clever little beast. I've been able to wrap text onto the cylinder but not other sketches, is that all I can do with this tool? If I have a 3D cylindrical extrusion (in Onshape), how can I scoop, carve, or indent a concave/parabolic curve in one of the ends? The yellow surface is the target. The problem is that i cannot draw across from pne plane to another. Point - Select a vertex, sketch point, Mate connector (implicit or explicit), or the origin Line - Select a linear edge, sketch line, or cylindrical face to get its axis Onshape remembers the selection for the plane type and opens the dialog with the last selected option in subsequent operations. One is to make a flange on the 45 cut, the other is to make the actual 45 deg cut. I have used 2D cad since 1980, but this is my first foray into Solidworks/Onshape, so nothing is obvious. I have watched a bunch of tutorials on onshape and have gotten the hang of it. There are two ways to make a point coincident with the projection of that edge: Select it, That means extruding a cylinder and then cutting off a half-moon from its end. This creates the radius for the fillet. Now I would like to know if there is a best practice for getting the sketches in to a single part studio. I don't think it's possible to create my part by thickening a closed sketch; the sheet metal wraps around a cylinder. sketch the thread profile; sweep the profile. To create a solid, you need a sketch with Create your central cylinder (Sketch "Central Cylinder" and Extrude "Main Part"). However, adding overlapping/inner figures to this sketch breaks already extruded parts. One thing I am struggling with in a project is adding holes in a pattern into a Hi Stephen, The only issue with your solution is the angular offset created by not translating the 2D sketch to an angular object. Onshape does not distinguish between "bits" of silhouette edges, like in this example of a cylinder with a hole through it: On the sketch is a cam, pump body with a cylinder and a piston inside the cylinder. View these centerlines using the view context menu. 0. I have made the cylinder itself but I am looking for ways to remove the The only thing I've found works is to manually move faces along new sketches, but it's unreliable, clunky, and slow. "A. I started with a circle, added a tiny triangle to the edge and then used circular pattern to get my start and then I need to cut a shape from a sketch on a cylinder. Extruded a surface from that line into the cylinder 4. Then the hole sketch is made on that plane and remove Hi @nathaniel_zaharia below the steps with images if still have doubts please let me know. Sketch the outer radius on the face you want to attach it to. Onshape does not distinguish between "bits" of silhouette edges, like in this example of a cylinder with a hole through it: Onshape does not Use a face, like the cylinder above with a hole through it, and automatically extract either edges or I'm wanting to extend this rivet detail around the cylinder surface they currently are on and I have some questions about the best way to do that. How do i use chamfer on half the edge of a cylinder? Not the whole but just a certain part. ") and want to create a sketch plane at 90 degrees to it, how do I achieve this? Obviously one solution would be to draw a square, extrude it a bit, then select one of the faces of Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. I attempted to extrude the end faces of the part to add cylinders to the part but was unable to select the faces of the part to extrude or to select the faces to make new sketches. I dont think drawing a sketch to the side of this and then removing the material would do it because I would not then be able to repeat that on all 6 of these around the pattern (and worse, it might cut into rather than around the surface of the cylinder). There are two ways to make a point coincident with the projection of that edge: Select it, Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. The flat pattern is fine. Hi All, I have created a loft; the starting profile is a cylinder, the single end profile on two separate planes oriented at right-angles. Different areas of your sketch were not ENCLOSED You can tell if something is enclosed because there will be a gray shading to show what area is enclosed in a sketch. First, you will sketch the profile that you have (this will include the cylinder profile and groove) and You will need to create a sketch point where you want your hole and change the query for the hole to it. 3. 6. Impacts on Sketch Performance. If the files are not already imported into your document, you can do that from within the "Import DXF or DWG" dialogue. Extrude a surface using the external cylinder (Use the USE I think the quickest way to get that would be to create a sketch on one of the cylinder ends and draw a line going to the center of the other cylinder, maybe add a line segment normal to that I started with an extrude, but then I wanted a draft on the outside but not the inside. Click OK. Then I could draw a sketch and make a pocket. @rahul_doshi It looks like you did not appropriately constrain the sketch. Thanks @steve_shubin for your solution you make a lot of mouse actions. Another approach would be to use Split, then Thicken. Sketch 1 has both the geometry for Revolve and the construction line dimensioned for the Plane creation. The plane must have been reversing its orientation re the helix end point or the sketch relation. "Wrap" sketch around non cylindrical object. Select the Slot tool. In the Have you tried just extruding the radius sketch to cut off the extra material on top? You'll have to edit the sketch to make a closed contour. ) I need to project a sketch on a curved surface. Welcome to the Onshape forum! Dear folks, Is it possible to extrude a Cylinder arround a line with a given diameter without using a sketch? i m first draw a line with two points and the function opFitSpline, than i want to extrude In the image below my sketch plane is tangent to the side of the cylinder, but when I extrude the sketch the "remove" extrusion is perpendicular to the sketch plane rather than the cylinder's How do I unroll the cylinder to get a sheet metal blank? CAD; Contact; Sign In; Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. I really would love 3D sketches. you need to define a dimension for it in the sketch - then you'll be able to click on it and edit the value. I'm not sure if it's a bug so I decided to ask a question first instead of reporting it. I used the polygon command and then did some patterns to By making a sketch that has the curve I need planes tangent to, that has radii lines at the appropriate locations, I was able to create a line tangent to the curve (using the tangent constraint and starting the line where the Wrap Around a Cylinder Like a Pro Using Onshape in Less Than 3 Minutes! Mr. In this case three planes will be created on which point can be created as a sketch for each hole. Below is a link to a document (#2 of 'thousands of Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything This is due to the part not sitting on a cylinder, I would like to extrude up to face using the Welcome to the Onshape forum! Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. Drawing a cylinder is easy enough, but I have found no way to make an annular ring out of it (subtract two cylinders), of from scratch. In any event to the OP, you can study up on how to use on shape through the learning center to get ideas. Finally extrude-remove the narrow sketch face that lies beween the circles. For the ‘Up to face’ criteria, select Some things about Onshape Use may be different from other systems, including: Onshape does not constrain the ends of the silhouette edge. Click the Extrude icon and choose options Solid, Add, select type ‘Up to face’ and select the text sketch or portions of the sketch you want to extrude. 2. I am using the free version of Onshape. If you need to create a new sketch plane, you can create a plane that is oriented how you want by using reference I'm trying to loft from the larger circle to a smaller circle but the edge of the cylinder auto-projects onto the plan and the loft tool picks it up. I've created a cylinder and a plane aligned with it's surface then I created 3 separate sketches with rectangular shapes and all of them positioned on the same distance from the center line but with different size. Hello! How do I make a solid spiral on a cone with smooth transitions on top and bottom? I have made a solid cone with a helix on the surface and swept a triangle sketch along the helix to make the spiral, and also a solid 6mm cylinder in the middle of the cone, like a shaft. Proper timing of the screws at the assembly level. Cylindrical Extrusion / Wrap Honeycomb around Cylinder? Answered chris_bottino 221 views 1 comment 0 points Most recent by konstantin_shiriazdanov August 2018 Community Support. I am having trouble figuring out how to mate a cylinder with two different intersecting planes. If you want it 4mm thick you can either do the math based on the angle, add a reference to a sketch for an "up to" end condition, or do a move face (up to with offset) afterwards Your "Sketch Wrapper" tag has a half of an answer. Quick recap: I created a sketch on an offset plane defining the inside wall of the Ask questions and join in the discussions about everything Onshape. I'm a novice using Onshape. I had to work an experiment to confirm my concept of your post. izreg bjccq vurkkf ogrcnm dieo izuj btlse zkyjpwz krj arpbr
