Re: opMoveCurveBoundary is simply not working right
@GregBrown, thank you. I rewrote that potion from scratch and now it does work. This is for my EZWire that I've been obsessing over for a few weeks now. Almost 1000 lines of code is big for me. Your "definition.whichPoint" is in there. A different approach from RoutingCurve.
Re: Split Part using Ruled Surface?
If anyone wants to dig in, here is a document that outlines various manual methods for doing this. All rather tedious. The parts studio that says support copy was done by Onshape support.
Re: Sketch could not be solved - Maximum size sketch
Thank you, that was interesting, really !
However, you guessed wrong lol.
I have a sketch that should be fully constrained (in my opinion) but OS says it's "not fully defined".
I do not understand why, I can't even move the part "not fully defined".
Re: Custom Feature: Cable/Wire Routing
We've been using it for flexible tubing as well, with the strip lengths set to 0, and then shelling from both ends to get an accurate mass where necessary. It's very hand for getting a reasonable first pass approximation for length at the very least!

Re: Help designing an open to closed loft with no obvious planes
You are in a situation most find themselves in when starting surface modeling. It usually takes a lot of practise and then quite some helper geometry, if you need precise parameters. In this case, EG for the top end, you might want to try looking into the "projected curves" tool, that's the one that looks like a flying pancake: It will give you things like the upper curve all way around in 3D, and in a straightforward and controllable way, at that:

Note that curves in the projected sketch planes need to match, and the guide curves need to "pierce" the profile curves by conditions set. Play around with the model to see what happens when you change one thing at a time …
Re: How do I stop tilting of the mouse wheel rotating the view.
Just buy a spacemouse. Worth every penny.
Re: Is Possible to add parametric node with "sheet name" in title block?
I think I am finding the same frustration. Basically, of all the parametric nodes (is that the right term?), i.e. where you click 'insert drawing properties' in a note dialogue box, and can select one of many properties, the "sheet name" is not there? which is odd, because I would have thought its an important one?
This way, it would be possible to use the sheets (ctrl+s) side bar to organise the titles, or sub titles in my case, displayed in the title block.
I thought I put a request in for this years ago, but I can't find it now.
