Re: 3D Printing Quality Settings
Thanks for this info.
There should be a way to set the Angular deviation (called Angular tolerance for 3MF) so that it sticks and you don't have to keep remembering to adjust it.
Re: Custom Features Collection
@legandras Wow! You've put a lot of work into this. This is something that is badly needed, though it should not be the task of individual volunteer users, but this should be done in some kind of FS-Library integrated in the GUI and the Onshape-Ecosystem. Publishing a FS should automatically put it up in the library, users should be able to search for it by different critieria and also comment on it. Onshape is missing out on a great opportunity and an important asset here!
New Custom Feature: MateConnector Stack
Create a linear stack of mate connectors at distances relative to the first MC, the last MC, or the last "Anchor".
Can't figure out how to name each one individually in the Features List.
But the relative positioning has been helpful for me.

Re: New Custom Feature: Heal All
Oh man, my coworker is gonna be so mad he just did this manually on two recent jobs. I'm excited to show him this feature on Monday

@eric_pesty , exactly what I needed! Thanks.
Re: New FeatureScript: Plastic Threads
@daniel_melameth Thank you! I'm glad it worked out of the box, that was the goal all along.
@kenn_sebesta167 You're very right and I did fix that in the latest version (1.5 patch 2) because I removed that message all together. Now you are given the option to view the pitch, TPI, and minimum layer thickness in the feature dialog. Just right click on the feature in the drop down, when you are in a part studio, and click update to get the latest release version.
The message system is quite limited and also limiting in terms of what you can do, so I switched it to an on edit driven parameter, which actually turned out to be way harder than I had anticipated, but it was fun figuring it out nonetheless. You can see the patch notes for that update in my comment just above. I also released a couple of patches to either fix issues or improve the user experience. One of which was making the Basic/Custom/Advanced tabs, as well as the thread profile and pitch/tpi input, remember your last choice so you can use the feature over and over without having to set up the threads again and again.
Thank you for using the feature even after having discovered the worst bug possible.
Re: Picking co-ordinates from sketch to dump to csv file
I've use the "points to table" FS a few times for similar workflows, but only for a small number of items:

Re: Custom Features Collection
I've been compiling a list on a Notion page:

Re: Picking co-ordinates from sketch to dump to csv file
I can imagine a lot of ways this might be done, and especially for the hint you gave us "extract all the co-ordinate X,Y pairs from points along a curve"
I am assuming you want to sample that edge (or curve) and extract those coordinates at the sampled points.
Here is a simple implementation that works for sketch entities as well as 3D curves. Coordinates returned are x,y,z.
