Re: qCreatedBy(sketch_id, EntityType.EDGE) returns more edges than I drew
Since you are talking about edges I'll assume you've used qCreatedBy(sketch_id, EntityType.EDGE). Sketch creates wire bodies corresponding to sketch curves, but also sheet bodies imprinted on plane (only if there are closed regions). You can use qCreatedBy(sketch_id, EntityType.EDGE)→qBodyType(BodyType.WIRE) to get only wire edges.

Re: POST /elements/copyelement/{did}/workspace/{wid} return Bad Request
Intersting, I kept getting a "Bad request" which tells me something else is going on. I created a copy of the workspace and tried just manually copying and pasting the element and got the following
So there might be something wrong with the Part Studio itself. Upon looking at the FeatureScript for that Part Studio (right click on the part studio > Show code) I can see that the FS version is really out of date so that might have something to do with it.
Try deleting the document, then restoring it from the trash, then going into it should prompt you to update the version of the standard library. Doing that fixed it for me.
Re: Curve pattern with spacing on alternate axis challange
Could you not just linear pattern a sketch (with "reapply features")

Re: Missign references - floating and unattached red coincident icon
The red icon has lost reference. it stays in view as indicator of problem.
Look at feature tree and see where the warnings and errors start. The previous feature would be a likely suspect. First option is undo. If you notice a problem that may be very time consuming to fix. There is an option to go back via the version and history tree to before this happened. Select make a version. Select the versions one at a time until you arrive before the the error then select main. Right click on good version and select restore to main.
In this sample a line was deleted in sketch 1 that caused a cascade through everything else. Step one is undo. If not noticed for some time then use longhand version of undo via history tree.
Re: Sometime my curved sketches extrude straight
Thank you so much. I was hoping I just needed to adjust the settings but didn't know exactly what i was looking for.
Re: Is there a usage standard for CALLOUTS that have boundary geometry?
It is my understanding/experience that drawing standards/practices are an organic beast which is ultimately set by the organization in which you are creating a drawing for. I just want to use callout symbols according to general accepted usage.
Since OS has baked-in a set of callout/flag note styles I was hoping to find an simple "generally accepted" explanation/definition for each type on the web from a trusted source.
The problem with standards organizations is they keep their information behind a paywall, which runs counter to their mission statement.

Re: How to make a cube?
I'd start with our free courses:
Just use one of the rectangle tools, constrain the sides equal and to length D, then extrude to depth D.

Re: Boolean Boss Battle
Have your main object. Then create plane and sketch for boss. Extrude boss to main object. Apply fillet to boss joint. Shell tool to hollow it out.
