Pro Tip for Importing Images into Onshape 

Thanks - yeah I am super happy with how this one came out, as I use this music stand all the time!!

Correct and an excellent tip! I wrote about this phenomenon once in an ENGINEERS RULE article. 100% agree! Thanks uppsala!

@@TooTallToby By using a reflex camera you don't have that error, I read on the wikipedia. And How much it can be?, If we are talking about +-1mm or 5mm? I can live with a 1mm error in many aplications, like this rubber foot as the rubber will expand and fit the foot but sometimes I need a perfect fit, and then this error it might be relevant

100% correct

Awww yeah! Glad this helps!

Yeah thats a total pro move to use a RULER! Great tip - and I'll check out that straiten tool too! Thanks!

Awww yeah FEATURESCRIPTS for the win!

Thank you for posting !

Nice! Thanks Jerry!

Thanks SkyDragon!

Yeah I do as well - that's where I get a lot of value from re-sizing and rotating BEFORE bringing it into CAD (not just onshape - other CAD systems have similar limitations) 🙂

Awwww yeah!!!

Nice! Thanks!!

Thanks - yeah that one saves me a LOT of time!

Awesome glad this helped!

yes indeed!

yes - yes - and YES! Agree on all points - especially about the barrel distortion!

Awww yeah! Nice Minecraft Grass Block user icon! (unless that's terraria) 🙂

Thanks JCR!

Once you exit the sketch the image should stay in place. Layers are used more in drawings - to emulate "layers" in a model you could make different sketches and then change the sketch colors.

Awww yeah Thanks Anthony!

Yeah a great point! Thanks Avi! I once wrote about this in an ENGINEERS RULE article, and it's definitely a topic that deserves some follow up attention - Great topic for an upcoming video - thanks!

@@TooTallToby do link that article, if its still available on the internet.

@@TooTallToby not sure if Onshape is developed to the extent of Solidworks in terms of using your sketch picture but maybe a workflow using autotrace in Onshape if possible would be cool.

Hi Roger! I just tested it today in the FREE version of Onshape and the option for Insert Image is still there. Maybe try beginning a new sketch, then using the SEARCH COMMANDS tool in the upper right?

Awesome!

Awww yeah! 😁

Thanks AL3891 - I am really on the fence on this topic.... On one hand I agree, it's better to just tell the entire story in one continuous video (even if it ends up 15-20 minutes). On the other hand, I know people struggle these days with breaking away from "actual work" to watch a tech tip video, so I want to make sure they can access this content in bite sized segments. It's all about finding the perfect balance and I appreciate you helping me (with your feedback) to get this thing calibrated! Glad you're enjoying the content and please keep the feedback coming! We'll figure this thing out!! 🙂

@TooTallToby sure I understand, it's always a balance. perhaps one way is to go through the topic quickly in part one and then go into more details about the options in part two, just so that the main topic of the video doesn't actually end up in part two. I guess you can never please everyone though so don't put too much stock in this one opinion:)

@TooTallToby also, thank you for making all this educational content, it really helps learning all this stuff!

@@aL3891_ Awww yeah! My pleasure - and good idea I like the idea of doing one "quick tip" and then doing a "deep dive" on the same feature. I'm gonna mull this around a bit and see what we can do!
