Re: Mushroom Pattern

Here's one way with some clever use of some custom features. The dots here are randomly placed and sized. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e609af2c4c801b238f439322/w/10e2ee167f867ee58c8d7db2/e/5c31b6eca394a3a7a1551f81

Re: [Chatbot Copilot] - We Built a FeatureScript AI Assistant That Outperforms ChatGPT

Tested it out with my generic FS test prompt test for FeatureScript. Failed to respond due to hallucinations. I'll wait to continue testing until the hallucinations are fixed. Those are a deal breaker.

Feedback:

Hallucinations will keep it from producing usable FS
Sign up process was a bit painful
Requires standalone window or tab which means lots of copy / paste and back and forth. Not sure of a good solution for this since Onshape doesn't allow side panel apps for feature studio. You might be able to have your chat as a web extension which could then see your code selections and insert / replace.

Re: How to set a tolerance range for calculations in Part Studio?

In FeatureScript there is a lot of support for "TolerantEquals" of dimensions or geometric objects.

PDF Display in OS

I wish PDFs imported into an OS document would display right in the tab without having to download them. Reason: It works well to keep datasheets, pinouts and the like of supplier parts with the CAD model, so whoever (re-)uses these components or contributes to the design work, is immediately in the know of the details. That's also true for doing live presentations with the CAD model in OS. It doesn't appear overly difficult, since most browsers support displaying PDFs anyway. Is there a reason it is not yet available?
