Re: Custom Feature Part Name (Ovyl)
Thanks for the suggestion! It's been a while since writing this (and I based most of it off of one by Neil). I do recall starting with an array param and hitting a dead end somewhere with that. Might have just been lack of code skill at the time. Now that we can right click a string field and convert to expression this feature is probably due for a full V2 anyway, so I'll give it a look.
Re: Need Guidance
I can't see for sure with the angles but wouldn't a pattern cut accomplish a similar texture?

Re: Need Guidance
There are a few different ways to do this.
Here is how you can do it without custom features, using a feature pattern technique:

And here is how you can do it with custom features:

Re: Custom Feature Part Name (Ovyl)
Wow I never thought anyone would hit that limit haha. I'll take a look when I can. You might be able to work around it for now by getting more than 1 out of a segment using toString() functions and ~ for concatenation. You can also stretch the feature UI wide to have more room to read since it will become long.
Re: Custom Feature Part Name (Ovyl)
You could rework the feature to use an array parameter instead - unlimited segments that way.

Re: First sketch, only 1 square and still not defined
If the sketch lines are blue, they are undefined. Meaning they need dimensions or constraints for their size as well as their position. You can constrain and dimension to entities within the sketch or outside the sketch as an external reference.
If you really want to become efficient at Onshape, complete the Onshape Learning Pathways. They are amazing.
Re: How to make a cube?
I'm curious about the use case for this workflow. What are you trying to achieve? Draw.io is neither very accurate nor overly comfortable to use, so this would only make sense if you absolutely need to incorporate geometry provided by someone else into your designs. I could imagine placards, type or serial number stickers or other graphic elements.
I ask because I have had similar cases, though not with Draw.io but other graphics apps.
Re: LiveWorx ???
I don't know, what do y'all think? Would there be interest in having an online meeting? Do you have other ideas?
Re: How to make a slotted hole
With help from my friend Cor van Doorn, I have it like I want. Had some error messages like 'not completely regenerated' and 'undefined' but now understood their origin and solved them. I also understand why all elements have to be constrained to something, that was a new concept I needed some time to grok. Onwards, always onwards!
