An absolutely brilliant feature, after spending time designing parts for 3D printing I started to crave such a feature. I found your feature here on youtube on the first try in the search engine and I'm just staring at how well you worked it out and what you thought of. Thanks for sharing. This feature will be my favorite ;)
Great feature script once I found a version that worked. I was having trouble with V21 showing all of the options under Nut Spec as far as the dimensions with icons. But, I'm on a laptop currently so I don't know if the screen size is causing this. Still fairly new to Onshape so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Been doing this manually and this will save a lot of time and headache! Would love to see a countersink option along with the counterbore.
Is there anywhere that shows how to do this from the beginning? I already have a piece I designed with holes for bolts, works well. But would like to add the captive nut part so they don't have to use a small wrench each time putting it together. I can't for the life of me get this to work on my drawing that already has the holes there. I am a beginner if it wasn't clear lol.
This is a great feature! I've been using Nut Pocket JR but it doesn't have ANSI options, so I think I'll switch to using yours. One feature request: a way to rotate the nut 90 degrees. Sometimes it's beneficial to reorient the nut depending on how I'm planning on printing the part.
Thanks! I actually re-wrote the feature from scratch to simplify some things that were bugging me and I've added the ability to rotate the nuts there on their axis. You can also do this with the current feature by referencing a mate connector and editing that, but changing each one can be cumbersome. Here's the 2.0 version of the feature cad.onshape.com/documents/d210fcf0f8b5e96ff2027adb/w/532b4113cecd2089664e73ab/e/bffff2b698cfb8b3e261c7cf
I'm not exactly sure what's causing your issue without seeing it, and you may be using an older version of the feature. Also, is the Merge Scope selected? Check out this example: cad.onshape.com/documents/ce66227347611d6193cf2a01/w/2503d43dcb62faa413f23c63/e/bac33429822b2817e56c1569
@Ovyl So I'm designing a 3D printer in Onshape and I was wondering If you could make a video on how to do prototyping, assemblies, and some of the best ways to get reference geometry. (I know this is a big and relatively broad topic) As all ways, I love your videos!
Sounds like a cool project! Prototyping and assemblies are both huge topics that I think are pretty well covered by other content creators and Onshape's official training stuff. Setting up a smart chain of design references, though, is more bite-sized and is something I have a lot of opinions about. I'll add it to the backlog, but no promises on when/if it will get done. Good luck on the printer!
Great work Evan!
I can see this being incredibly useful! Thanks, Evan!
Thanks! I think it will be too
This is awesome! The captive nut feature will simplify and accelerate so much design work. Thanks for the great feature and explanation!
Glad to hear it! no promises of updates, but if there's a change or addition that you think would improve it, let me know.
This is my new favourite featurescript. Thank you!
Glad you're digging it. I want to see what you make with it!

nice! I'm glad we're ranking in searches. I'm even more glad you're finding the feature useful.
This is awesome! As a newbie to designing stuff, this just saved me a lot of headache. Thanks!
wow i just found this video but i've been using this fs for a couple weeks it's incredible thank you
thank you much. Glad you're digging into all of the videos! I saw you other comment about a code tour. Would love to do that kind of thing sometime.
This is the coolest thing ever. THANK YOU

How do you place the pocket without using mate connector? When I click a point on a part to place it nothing happens

@@ovyl Okay I realized my problem which was that I wasn't making my point on a sketch on the surface of the part. Thanks!
@@Atomic_Chemist Got ya. Yeah, this one doesn't work quite like the hole feature, which may make it less familiar when getting started.

How do you navigate in 3D so ergonomic? 3Dconnexion?
Exactly.
