Re: Autodesk to acquire PTC
There is nothing in the SEC doc that mentions anything about PTC. Autodesk didn't confirm or deny anything and it certainly lets the door open. The analyst is making the determination based on his interpretation that there is no interest. FWIW wall street is full of people with their hands in others peoples pockets. Analysts are often "compensated" for stuff they write,,, so you can't take a lot of it for face value.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - June 27th, 2025
All, just a quick note to say:
Thank you for the feedback on the new document page redesign. We are continuing to work on improving what was a large change that lays the groundwork for more functionality and better performance in the documents page, some of which you have already seen (default column sorting, column resizing, pinning/add/removing columns, filtering, etc.).
As a side note: the documents page has to serve the needs of students with a handful of documents all the way to our Enterprise users who have large folder / projects / document / product structure hierarchies as well as external users. Some of issues brought up could be considered edge cases, but we're taking all those into account as we work on improvements regardless.
Re: How can I determine the entity or geometry type of a selected entity?
check out:
and
evSurfaceDefinition (context is Context, arg is map) returns map

Configuration variable descrptions
Where/how do I enter comments for configuration variables? Feature variables have a description field, but I don't see any field for config variables.
Re: Coincident restraint
found your file. you don't have hardly anything constrained in that sketch. but most importantly it doesn't know where it needs to be located with respect to the origin or other planes.

Re: Coincident restraint
Also coincident can be misleading as you can see in this animation. it looks like corners are coincident but really an end point is coincident with the line and not the endpoint.
