Re: Is it possible to enable selection while importing part using featurescript code?
@MBagwan
Selections can only be made of geometry that exists before the feature is executed. The rationale here is that the feature is run with some set of inputs, which produce an output. One of its inputs cannot be something that is created during the feature, because then it would not actually resolve to anything until halfway through the feature.

Re: Is it possible to determine in which direction an angle is measured?
If they are always on the 3D XY plane, then it's simple - you can just use atan2 to measure the angle between each line and vector [1,0]. A minus value indicates obtuse. If they're in 3D space it would be a little more involved.
Re: Adding OnShape Certificates to LinkedIn Profiles
@jack_heslin there is nothing official today, other than just downloading the certificate from the Learning Center and uploading it to LinkedIn.
Re: I have a full (pro) account. Can I view my own document with the View-Only Toolbar?
Yes you can! Make the document viewable with a view-only link and then copy/paste that link into a private/incognito browser window.
Re: How to project a face onto a surface?
@neobobkrause If you choose the sketch instead of the face it seems to work, unless I am missing something in your request. I made a copy here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f52aa59f46d278b6f51909e6/w/f5c42223fa68b6e2cb731b35/e/3dd0ca5c7f793b8cd594cb56

Re: Onshape is disconnected - refresh page
It's likely your modem.
We went through this here at work for a while. We had no issues for 2 years, then Comcast gave us a new modem after our old one died, and from then on we were constantly getting disconnected throughout the day (10-20 times a day). We also started having the same issue with another cloud service we use, and we found other people online with similar problems with the same model of modem.
After a lot of back and forth arguments and threats with Comcast as well as network tests on our end, we finally convinced them to come out and install a different brand modem. Since this new modem has been installed, we haven't had any more issues.
The modem we were using that had the issues was a Cisco DPC3941B modem from Comcast/Xfinity Business. The new modem that's working fine is a Netgear CG3000DCR modem.
Hope that helps, or at least gives you a place to start looking.
[EDIT] added the modem model numbers.
