Re: Which Fastened Mate
right click your part, and say show mates.
it will show all mates attached to the part
it will show all mates attached to the part
Re: How can I compound different folders to one folder?
You can open a document, then you can right click a tab and move to another document
Re: Hide Other Instances
You can also click on parts and select isolate, which will make everything transparent. Then you just close the dialogue box, or adjust the slider to unhide parts next to/connected to your selected part.
Drawing Dimensions and Hole Callouts Improvements
- Baseline Dimensions - Automatically create stacked dimensions that start from a common line/point
- Enable dimension text to be defaulted to center. Currently the text is positioned where your mouse is. I know you can snap it to the center with some work or open the dimension flyout and click on the "reset text position" button, but I'd like to be able to set the default position
- Automatically space and reorder stacked dimensions
- Horizontal fractions
- Edit units and precision of hole callouts
- Polar tracking for ordinate dimensions when adjusting positions
- Adjust text alignment of individual dimensions; aligned with dim line or horizontal
- Automatic hole counting for hole callouts. Counts per face, part, or current view would be great options.

Re: how to query for all vertexes in a mesh
There is an updated XYZ custom feature that takes advantage of 'Reference Parameters' (the ability to point a custom feature to different data sources)

@tommie_berry
If you can get point coordinates as csv file this feature can be used to build a spline

Re: how to query for all vertexes in a mesh
Unfortunately I don't think there is a method of doing that in FeatureScript. If you'd like, you can submit an improvement request for this functionality.
Re: A little more on configuration.
What part isn't sinking in? the format of the inline If statement?
variable = (something is true) ? (then do this) : (otherwise it is false so do this)
anything before the ? is a test condition, which is comparing two objects at a time using comparison operators
x > y is greater then
x < y is less than
x >= y is greater than or equal to
x <= y is less than or equal to
x == y is equal to
x != y is not equal to
x && y compares two booleans, result must be true example: (1 <= 2 && 3 < 4) = true
x || y compares two booleans, result will be true if ether x, y, or both are true
then there are some more commands you will need find on the featurescript documentation like Ilya showed
tolerantEquals(x, y)
the format above is a common short hand version of an If-else statement
If (boolean is true)
{ then do this }
else
{ otherwise do this }
you can nest multiple statements together to hone in on a specific result.
an easier way to read it would be to write it out like a normal If statement in notepad, then shrink it into one line
example:
Hope that helps, not make things worse

example:
x > y ? z
: x == y ? a
: b
becomes:
x > y ? z : x == y ? a : b
if x > y then the result of the equation will be z
if x = y then the result of the equation will be a
if all else fails then the result of the equation will be b
You can also use ( ) as much as you need to help visualize your groups
(x > y)? z :(x == y)? a :bHope that helps, not make things worse
Re: Configure configured variables?
Unfortunatly no,
but here is my solution to the same problem
