Re: Sketch: Circular pattern a spline
Hmmmm … I wonder why that is. Is that intentional? Is that a limitation? Is it a bug?
I tried setting up two mirror lines to double-mirror the spline in place and that does work no questions asked. So there is certainly a way to display that spline in the desired location.
I played around a bit more and here comes the fun part: I believe …. er … no, I am certain it is a bug in the selection filter. If I use "tangent connected" as my selection filter while selecting the straight line, the tangent constrained spline gets selected with it and can then be circular-patterned without any issues. So, it is only that I cannot pick it, not that it cannot be patterned.
Re: SET COLOUR, MASS, AND CUSTOM PROPERTY OF GEOMETRY CREATED BY FEATURE IN ONE GO
Yes. As soon as I started into Onshape, the sheet metal feature immediately jumped out at me as "needing work". You will see in the feature there is a cvs import and the values in that gets mapped to an enum selection in the feature. I have always been extremely disappointed that enums cannot be generated from an external source. Its annoying to have to manually change the enum list in the feature every time a new material is added into the csv. I would lve to be able to mod the feature to accept a csv file as a feature input and have the enum list update according to what's in the csv. Maybe some day…. 🤔

@mitchell_braun924 Here is a new link. https://trebormanufacturing.onshape.com/documents/7cb3a2aaddb5ef9738251ee3/w/a227091b7cf37b893b5234a4/e/3aa2a86ddc6fe0731bb619c9
I have revamped that feature I think since that link was posted and the studio id must have changed. The feature is an edited standard feature. I have commented out portions of the standard feature that I either didn't need or needed to override to try and maintain the context of the standard feature. There are a few feature studios in there that work together. One of them is a modified finish feature. The finish feature applies properties to the sheet metal parts. The finish feature provides an option to apply to all sheet metal parts regardless of which parent sheet metal feature created the parts. I messed up a bit and I have noticed sometimes the option will apply properties to parts in the studio that are not actually active sheet metal parts. I haven't taken the time yet to add in a more robust filter method for that feature function. 😁
Re: why does my fillet rad points become hole centers when extruding sketch
Did you, at some point, select the same sketch to apply holes?
