Re: Curve Pattern - feature pattern including full part
I got the tooth pattern working sort of. but not able to get position correct. Notice the drift as it approaches the center due to the curve tightening up.
Re: What to do when loft prevents shelling?
Thanks for the tips!
The voids created by lofting were the root problem, once I saw how S1mon had selected them I was able to do the same and create a reasonable facsimile of the original part with my original 1.25mm shell size.

Re: Fixing Broken Part Through FeatureScript
Oh silly me, I've been using Onshape for a year and never even realized that was a feature. Thanks!
Re: What to do when loft prevents shelling?
I neglected to mention that while I was looking up similar topics, I tried setting the shell to 0.01mm (the smallest possible) yet it still failed. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Re: How can we make Section Views awesome in Onshape?
Every time I work on a part or an assembly, I find myself recreating the same section views again and again.
This seems like a pretty simple and basic feature that I don't understand why it is not there!
I am brand new to Onshape, coming from Creo, and maybe I need to get better at using mate connectors, but Planes are so much easier to create a section view from, so I would add, having the ability to Create and Save Planes in an Assembly would help.
Re: Is there a reverse qCreatedBy? like qCreator?
When you know the "Type" you want a function to return (which in this case is "Id") you can search the standard library to see if any functions there return that Type using the input you want by pressing CTRL+F to bring up the word search bar and typing "returns TheTypeImLookingFor":
You can the cycle through what it finds and see if anything suits your fancy, I happened to find what I think you're looking for:
I'd also like to point out that a "Query" is just a map of maps of maps etc, and each layer is a subquery with a "queryType" key. If the queryType is correct then that map may also hold the Id of the entity that query refers too. I don't actually know much about how a query map is structured but you can always use "println(query)" in your code, open up a tab that uses that feautre, open up the notices and see how that specific query map is structured to see if it's something you can use. Good Luck

Re: how to get/use the name of a part to name another Mate Connector in FS? (edited, used to say "part")
that would work, but I don't want to make a second, specialized mate connector FS just for this naming thing. I'm ok without it.
