Show Variable Studio Values on a drawing
Is it possible to to include or show variable studio values in a drawing? so if a variable is changed in a part - it is highlighted on the drawing,
Thanks

Hey @kees_bijker,

In case you miss this elsewhere, @GregBrown did a in-depth video on Routing curve now that it's been released.

I imagined that @GregBrown would make a video about routing curves with this release, and now it's out:

Re: How to use loft tool to combine 2 imported objects with dissimilar geometry
If at all possible, import STEP or Parasolid of those parts. What you have is a mesh which is much harder to work with. The shapes are simple enough that you could remodel them, but it would be easier if you didn't have to.

Re: How to use loft tool to combine 2 imported objects with dissimilar geometry
This is not really project to start with while being new to CAD AND new to Onshape.. I'd suggest using the learning.onshape.com website first then come back and try to model these objects from scratch instead of trying to jump right into hybrid modeling. I understand you may not be familiar with that term but believe me, doing what you want to do is going to be challenging with your current level of CAD experience.
To answer your question though. learning how to use constraints is how you get things to align.

Re: Progressively smaller feature patterning
I don't have access to view it. You'll have to make the document public. Without looking the first thing to check is that your second, but not first width variable has been included in the Linear Pattern feature as a feature to pattern. So for example you may have an initialized variable for #width = 5 mm or something, then later you have #width = #width + 2 * mm.The second one is the one to include in the pattern feature, since it's the one you want to re-run every time.
Re: is it possible deactivate a thread so you will not be notified?
As an example I can give you this thread
This was resolved last year and I assigned answers. For me this was a closed issue but 5 months later, but could be a year or two, somebody else does not understand and reopens the thread by posting their view of the matter. It may or may not be related but in this case it is.
To me this should be dealt with differently and these posts should be closed so that if somebody has a similar issue, they should start a new thread if the answers are not helping them. That way the question will be visible too all and new people can have a go at answering them.
Re: Progressively smaller feature patterning
you could try the increment variable FS put that in your linear pattern (feature pattern) and indeed make sure 'reapply features' is on.
Re: How can you wrap/ project a pattern onto an irregular lofted surface? Is it possible?
The Attractor Pattern did exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
