Configuration variable descrptions

Where/how do I enter comments for configuration variables? Feature variables have a description field, but I don't see any field for config variables.

Re: Coincident restraint

https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/27850/coincident-restraint

found your file. you don't have hardly anything constrained in that sketch. but most importantly it doesn't know where it needs to be located with respect to the origin or other planes.

Re: Coincident restraint

Also coincident can be misleading as you can see in this animation. it looks like corners are coincident but really an end point is coincident with the line and not the endpoint.

Re: How to add a hair-like texture to a paint brush bristle

Looks great!

Continuing to bring to light the need for additional thread capabilities. Can we please get standard thread sizes added to Onshape? BSPP and BSPT among other would be great and something i wouldn't think would be hard to add to the hole wizard.

New Custom Feature: Segmented Pipe

A Featurescript to create a one or more pipes (cylinder or hollow tubes) between two locations (point, MC, arc, circle). The pipe can be split into segments with a remainder piece representing a cut section. Various options are available during creation.

I created this to help with HVAC ductwork.

Let me know if you have issues or improvement requests.

Custom Feature: Gridfinity Parametric Generator

Hi!

I created a custom feature to generate Gridfinity bins, either completely solid (so you can make cutouts), or hollowed with customisable features like labels, finger sliders, etc.

I saw another version of something similar posted here, but some of its dimensions are off and I also ran into issues when stacking the bins. I also thought this would be a great opportunity to learn FeatureScript (this is my first custom feature!).

Anyway, here it is:

https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3cbb7496bf21033c93732426/w/d2bf330d898a189967c4abb8/e/64e5b33252db3da9f6fb4a4b

I tried to be careful to reduce the amount of waste material and followed the Gridfinity official dimensions strictly, but let me know if you encounter any issues, or if you would like any extra features, as I've developed only the ones I needed for myself (I can't promise if/when I will be able to make them though).

I uploaded it also to Github in case you would like to contribute there:
