Re: How are people dealing with things that are measured by length on a BOM?

You can use the "set property" feature to build a name/description that incorporates any variables automatically, then you wouldn't have to change it manually after the fact (and having it be wrong if things change…)

Re: Custom Feature: Cable/Wire Routing
@jacob_lafond good catch. Turns out this is a bug in the Onshape CSV import code so there is nothing I can do to fix it until it's fixed in by the devs which (believe it or not) is not so simple. Can you use another number format for now? If not, I could possibly have it parse a string (so you would have to put "1D" or "1F" in the csv).
Re: Is it possible to add to the default geometry?
You can create a mate connector (created at the origin) while patterning or revolving. That’s probably the best way.
Someone created a custom feature which puts some axes like you are suggesting into a part studio, or there’s a Mate connector at origin feature out there too, which I think can add three at once.

Re: Is it possible to add to the default geometry?
There are a jillion CFs that do this. Here's mine (definitely the best):
I know mate connectors are The Right Way - but personally I find them very fiddly. I just use this instead.
Re: Can't hide mate connectors
I definitely have issues with hiding mate connectors created by the MultiMateConnector feature. Also mate connectors that come in via a derive. It seems like these are treated differently. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Re: Can't hide mate connectors
that's a bug from my point of view. hide all means hide all
