Re: We need longer auth sessions
There is a socket reconnect, when it says "press here to reconnect". However, that is still taking up resources on AWS that PTC has to pay for. When it times out and you have to refresh, that is when the document has been unloaded so that the resources can be reallocated to active users.
Re: Help! Challenge: Fretboard Generation
Nice feature @jelte_steur814! I had tried to come up with ways to make variable feature patterns easier for users but never quite was able to. This simplifies it really well.
Re: Onshape AI Advisor Beta (Coming Soon)
Thanks all for the feedback. The first release of the Onshape AI Advisor (which we hope to have out very soon) will focus on answering questions regarding using Onshape. It won't be optimized on day one for writing FeatureScript or interacting with the API. We want to ship it as soon as it adds value, and then iterate with improvements in each release.
But we've heard you (and others) loud and clear, and are prioritizing this capability for a future improvement.
@S1mon It is built using Amazon Bedrock
@MichaelPascoe It will include the majority of the data sources that you reference. However, the Onshape AI Advisor will not include any user data (even public forum posts) as a source. This is a clear line we are drawing. It's possible (with enough requests) that we add something like this in the future, but only after a user gives explicit permission.
We feel there is a lot of potential for the future, and appreciate all your feedback.

Re: We need longer auth sessions
just save your login with browser. All I do is either click a saved link/bookmark or type cad in address bar hit enter then click on the sign in button because my info is saved.

Re: We need longer auth sessions
I believe when we log on we are actually using a CPU at AWS. If it never kicked anyone off for a month, it would probably overload the whole system.
Is it possible to avoid logging in every time the browser is launched?

Re: I need a little help
Yeah, you shouldn't use LLMs for this. They don't replace understanding, especially for a specialized language like FS. You'll get a nice-looking snippet quickly and then spend a hundred times as long finding the issues.
Michael's suggestion is really the answer here. Failing that, search the forum for custom features that already do this, or find similar custom features and understand their code.
