Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 10th, 2025
I just noticed a change in Onshape that does not appear to be documented in this release. Maybe an 'easter egg'?
The 'Tag Profile' feature is now just called 'Tag' and is no longer located with the frame tools. The icon also has a subtle change. There is a new drop-down option giving functionality for both 'Frame' and 'Form'. The documentation still describes only the old functionality.
Before:
Now:
Interesting…
Re: Creating seamless transitions between two lofts
Found it. Yes you need to set end profile condition to normal in Loft2 and in Loft1 set the 1st two guide profiles continuity to Normal

Re: Mate Connectors vs Planes - Why oh Why??
3 points define a plane, not a coordinate system. A 3 points to mate connector feature is trivial, but requires deciding where the origin and X direction are. But if that doesn't matter you can just arbitrarily assign them.
Like this:

Re: Point Pattern Feature by Mate Connectors
I believe the Transform Pattern FeatureScript does what you are looking for.

Greatest Update this year! Can only be beaten by the Sheet Metal Loft Feature 😁
@bryan_lagrange Maybe they meant "Supper Data"
Interstellar… mmh…
Re: Hole Tool: m8 thread in 6.8mm bore
I see the issue, but this is not the concept of the hole tool: It is by definition a hole tool, not a tap tool. (There are dedicated thread FS out there)
Instead of altering the sketch (thereby creating wrong geometry, which is not desirable), just delete the hole, then use the hole tool to create the threaded hole with the accurate bore diameter in one go. That will also make your design more robust to downsteam changes. (Else, what would your thread feature do after someone changes the hole diameter in the sketch?)
