Folders and nested folders may not work for you, that's fine. Tags do exist in Onshape by the way. Nested tags would be cool.

BUT we find folders essential. Don't step on one user to satisfy another. Nobody said you needed to use folders.

Thank you

Re: Mismatched input

Wow that is some real AI garbage. Whats wrong?… Literally all of it. Its impressively bad, I don't see a single valid line of code.

The unfortunate fact is that no AI can produce working featurescript.
You'll have to do it the old fashion way and either learn it yourself or hire someone.
I suggest the learning center - Onshape has some great FeatureScript resources.

New Onshape API Limits

In case you missed it, Onshape updated their API Limits policy in the most recent update (October 10th, 2025). Onshape has always had an Annual API Call limit, but the exact amount was previously undocumented.

https://onshape-public.github.io/docs/auth/limits/

Unfortunately, it seems very hard to imagine developing and testing apps of any size while staying within these limits. It's also a major limitation for anyone wanting to use the API for any sort of personal tooling or automation. For example, I can no longer use the tool I have which updates my FeatureScripts to the latest std version for fear of running out of API calls.

On the EDU side, 2,500 requests spread evenly out across the year comes out to just 6.85 requests per day.
The limit is annual, so if you run out in January you're SOL for the rest of the year.
There's no documented way to see your current usage, so you have to track it yourself.
Although you can buy more requests, there isn't any transparency about pricing, and as an EDU user developing free tools for robotics teams, I'm frustrated by the prospect of having to start spend money just to maintain my existing development efforts.

Ultimately, it's very disappointing having to suddenly jump through hoops and re-architect major portions of my apps (or break out my credit card) just to meet these new, seemingly arbitrary requirements.
