Re: AI which know Feature Script (or can learn)
Wow @dirk_van_der_vaart I'm impressed! It did this first try:

Re: Point Pattern is not applying my counterbores to the correct depth
Hey @maxwell_smart,
I would recommend using the hole feature for your counterbore holes instead of extrudes. You have probably used two extrudes for the hole so you would need to pattern both features. Alternatively you could use a face pattern, that should work as well.
If you could share a link to your public document that would make troubleshooting easier. Cheers
Re: My hole does not pierce all extrude layers
Yes i did, and was a classic rookie mistake i think..
Just had to turn off Surface 1 :)

Re: how to create a pattern along the dashed line?, i want to create 10 equally spaced holes.
What @David_YL_Nguyen is suggesting is for feature/model mode. What @abanoub_samy is asking for is sketch mode for which there is no curve pattern. So you will need to create a single hole via sketch/extrude or hole tool. then curve pattern it with the tool david is suggesting.

Re: My hole does not pierce all extrude layers
Hey @robin_langøen,
Welcome to the world of 3D CAD 🤩.
Maybe you have fixed it yourself by now but it might have been because you are working with multiple parts and you therefore need to define the merge scope (define which parts are affected by an operation).
It also looks like you are trying to design a Sheetmetal bracket, I think this would be a great resource for you:
Cheers
Re: how to create a pattern along the dashed line?, i want to create 10 equally spaced holes.
Hey @abanoub_samy,
Dropdown under the linear pattern you can find the curve patter.
The "Using Onshape"is probably the best place for general usage questions. Cheers
Re: Custom Feature: Cable/Wire Routing
Yes @Derek_Van_Allen_BD please make this a reality😎, I worked at a Solidworks Reseller once and a plugin there for PI&D 3d "plumbing" is this: https://www.smap3d.com/en/cad-integrations/solidworks
But the usability is far from good, would be cool to see a useable Onshape Feature Script emerging in this field.
Please give me an update, when you are pushing stuff like this
