Re: sketch grid
Don, when scaling an imported image, first drop the image into the sketch - then dimension the edge of the bounding box for that image, and multiply that dimension value, by either 0.33 or 3.00 (using your numbers as ratio, or inverse ratio), one scales up, the other scales down. The real key is to work with the edge of the bounding box - you simply dimension that one dashed line, like martin shows above, but use an expression (box dimension/scale factor) and the whole image will scale. Quite accurate, if you do the math right. Once the image is 1:1 then all dimensions pulled from it are honest.
Hope this is clear enough to understand, Good luck.

(Using centered image since float left messes up downstream rows. Though it is nice to have the float left options, we need to be able to not float and place left.)

Re: Drawings - Subset BOM?
You could try using configurations instead of display states, but otherwise I don't think there's a way to do this automatically… Using sub-assemblies would help but it will only match the numbers of you use an indented BOM on the first sheet.
What I typically do is have the complete BOM on sheet one and just balloon items using numbers from the one table on the other sheets.
Re: Forum Software Update
The "quote" button under the posts doesn't seem to work any more, but copying and pasting seems to create a quote-like box.
I haven't found anyway to edit the raw HTML any more. On the plus side(?), the [<>] button is for embedding things. Not sure how well that will work.
@Ste_WilsonIs what I see on Firefox on android.
Well, that does look crappy.

Re: sketch grid
Best way to do this, especially with this image is to crop the image so the bottom lines up with the tip of the leg before inserting (using any basic image editing program), then you can just add dimension to the long edge of the picture and set it to the 28.0625 dimension shown.
This should give you perfect scaling with no math.
If you don't have a convenient dimension you can reference, the "image" FS provides a "reference" you can line up with your picture to set the size:

Re: Forum Software Update
One challenge I'm seeing is that pasting in a URL no longer defaults to creating a link. It seems like you need to format it that way.
Dumb paste:
https://www.onshape.com/en/
Paste and then use formatting tools to create link:

Re: Forum Software Update
Testing out code formatting:
predicate canBeBridgingSideData(value)
{
value is map;
value.degree == 0 || value.degree == 1 || value.degree == 2 || value.degree == 3;
isLengthVector(value.position);
if (value.degree >= 1) // G1 or higher
{
is3dDirection(value.tangent);
value.speedScale == undefined || value.speedScale is number;
}
if (value.degree >= 2) // G2
{
is3dDirection(value.curvatureDirection);
value.curvature is ValueWithUnits;
value.curvatureOffsetScale == undefined || value.curvatureOffsetScale is number;
}
if (value.degree >= 3) // G3
{
value.normal == undefined || value.normal is Vector;
value.kPrime == undefined || value.kPrime is Vector;
value.twoFFPrime == undefined || value.twoFFPrime is ValueWithUnits;
// Either kPrime (for curves) or twoFFPrime should be defined
value.kPrime != undefined || value.twoFFPrime != undefined;
value.g3OffsetScale == undefined || value.g3OffsetScale is number;
}
}
Nice!!!

Maybe not obvious, but backtick code highlighting finally works. :D
