Re: "Face Curves" in Featurescript?
Thanks, Onshape team, for making this available! I made a Face Curves feature with it here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a8fffe63f92001db50a75db9/v/6806a86ca45e517dd6fde290/e/193257f65ba4c932585edbb6
Re: How can I check in FeatureScript to see if a variable (defined in a configuration) exists?
What you can do is use
If the variable wasn't defined, the result will be
[1]: onsha.pe/FsDoc/library.html#getVariable-Context-string
[2]: onsha.pe/FsDoc/exceptions.html
getVariable
[1] inside a try expression [2].If the variable wasn't defined, the result will be
undefined
(the value, not the behaviour)[1]: onsha.pe/FsDoc/library.html#getVariable-Context-string
[2]: onsha.pe/FsDoc/exceptions.html

Re: What is the easiest/fastest way to downscale a part (Sheet Metal)
Here is a feature I just made to do exactly that (it recalculates all the ratios):

Re: Variable for quantity of pattern
I believe this functionality just isn't supported for sketch patterns at the moment.

Re: Tangent Mate - edge and plane - when I animate the motion, the whole model displaces
Your problem is simple: you need to fix the Chassis in space so that it doesn't move around when the other parts are animating.
I used a Fastened mate between the bottom face of the Chassis and the Origin.
You could also just Fix (Right-click on the Chassis component and select Fix), but a Mate will generally be more robust.

Re: I am having assembly issue.

Theoretically, you would think that the revolute mate should work at all three pivot points. But when you try to do certain things using the revolute mate only, sometimes it just doesn’t work. There have been discussions about this elsewhere in this forum
