Using Variable driven Offset curves to efficiently make paths for fasteners in Onshape
We recently introduced Offset curve in 1.175 (Jan 12, 2024) and they can be incredibly useful in a great number of situations. One is for creating paths that fasteners will be located along... In this short demo I drive such an Offset curve with some variables relating the offset and trim to the fastener diameter. For added fun I use a couple of my favorite custom features to further automate/optimize my process.
Join me behind the scenes for another of my single-take rehearsals for demos that I am prepping for, test-driving new concepts, or generally practicing. Usually recorded late after all my normal work is done, you might enjoy some of the tips and tricks I hope to offer.
