Bruce Kieffer Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 I do have a workaround for this problem, but it would be far simpler if I could force the object to think it is 2-1/8" wide. The construction steps are; cut the width to 2-1/8" glue the mitered joint, rout the 1/2" bullnose. I need my cut list worksheet to show the width as 2-1/8". Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 Dimension to the vertical edge instead of to the end of the end of the piece? Manually override the dimension text and type in what you want in the Leader or Trailer? Dimension before you do the bullnose? Anything is going to be manual. There is no automatic way for VW to understand what you want in the cut list vs the final part. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted August 9, 2024 Author Share Posted August 9, 2024 Thanks @Pat Stanford. Kind of what I figured. I set up another class with the mitered corner pieces not rounded over and I use them to populate my cut list worksheet. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted August 9, 2024 Share Posted August 9, 2024 You could assign a Record Format to the piece's dimension, with a boolean - Mitered y/n Or set those dimensions in a mitered class Then in the worksheet If Mitered + 5/32" 2 Quote Link to comment

I tried a few ways to add an object to the solid subtraction to make it think it was 2-1/8" wide, but no luck. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted August 9, 2024 Author Share Posted August 9, 2024 I tried adding a .01" x .01" extrude to the solid subtraction and that worked. It's there, but so small that I can't see it. Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 So the fundamental issue is, we do not have symbols that we can edit...if we did then this is how it would work. make your sub-system without any routing into a symbol. then extract your cut data list from that. then take the symbol (as a symbol) and add all your routered edges, holes etc, on the "outside" of the symbol. we tend to draw the final product and then go back to get data...not realizing that we need to create a model that copies the steps of how it is actually built IF we want to get a BOM that reflects the way it is built. because of my experience with Onshape (2017) there are a few improvements I would like to make in VW regarding how we deal with symbols that would eliminate these "dead end" situations. Small improvements big returns. Have VW give me a call. Quote Link to comment
