Re: Memory leak when version and history is opened
Thanks for finding this - I've logged it.

Re: Morbius
What you did. . . Whoa... I didn't get what you were doing until I rolled it back to the beginning and stepped forward one at a time. Once the loft hit it finally clicked. Very cool
Re: 3D Scan for part (7075 Aluminum)
Depending on what you want to do with the scans you may (most likely will) have to process them in mesh editing software to "clean" them up. Doing things like deleting extra scan data, smoothing up edges. connecting surfaces, filling holes, etc. Its not as simple as scan it, import, and send it to CNC.

Re: Troubleshooting procedure for fillet failure (and any other failed feature, for that matter)
@eric_pesty Getting back to this… sorry I was away for a few days.
I've reproduced your solution. I was missing the 'continuity' settings on the fill, not yet being very familiar with the surface-editing tools.
So, thanks again for taking all the time. This answer comes closest to solving the problem as I'd originally requested, though the process of zeroing-in on a glitch like this will, no doubt require practice.
…which is probably why everyone else suggested workarounds instead. Thanks, everyone, for your ideas and attention to my question. Often the workaround is faster and acceptable, but sometimes a more definite, deliberate approach without any compromises is called for.

Re: Cycloidal Gear Generator
Aside from not failing school, this is the second best thing that has happened to me all year. Thanks for your work!
Re: Follow a curve in assembly?
Thank you!
I couldn't make spline in sketch precise enough as the 2 lines and an arc, so I used routing curve tool, which made close-enough spline curve and then created surface from it.
It works great:

Re: Show Version Description in Versions and History Tab?
I was actually just going to suggest adding it as a tooltip, only to find that it already used to be like that, but there no longer seems to be a tooltip showing the description OR an option to add a description column in the Versions and History panel :(. Either would be better than neither in my opinion.
Re: Do I have to draw each component individually to achieve what I want?
Don't use a sketch pattern for this.
Do the different extrudes to get the the geometry you need for one instance, then use the pattern feature (i.e. not within the sketch) to replicate that (using either the feature pattern or face pattern)
Re: Follow a curve in assembly?
Your path needs to be a single curve (you can create a fit spline from you sketch geometry) and then you can use a tangent mate between a vertex and the path.
That won't lock rotation so you will need more constraints for that (like multiple vertices following the path or an external "parallel", or you instead of just a curve you cand use a surface and have edge be tangent instead to it instead of just a vertex.
Re: Tutorial double feature: Mate connectors!
Oh yeah I said I'd add those didn't I? 😅 They're in the description now.
