Best way to warn user of something without overriding active info messages?
I've got a feature that is reporting some useful info most of the time using reportFeatureInfo(). There are some cases where I'd like to let the user know something isn't quite right, without totally ending the feature and replacing that message. I'd like to turn the feature red and let the user see a message on mouseover of the feature without replacing the message from reportFeatureInfo(). Any way to do this?
Re: Is it possible to change colors of a callout?
Just select the callout and then go:
Re: Texture (New Custom Feature!)
Thank you for your hard work @MichaelPascoe; this is really useful in the design of the product visualization.
Re: New Custom Feature: Animate
Wow! What a great feature! 👏
Also the kind of thing that makes me feel dumb by the way… 🤪

Re: Remove tap drill size from hole callout on drawing
Yes, @onshape, please remove tap drill size from threaded hole callout on Drawings, or make it something that can be toggled.
Re: Replacing drawing reference through the API
I'm attempting the same thing. The difficulty is that if you duplicate your "template" drawing and transfer it to another document, the reference becomes a version reference…and I'm having trouble updating them.
My workflow is:
- Duplicate template drawing AND part studio tabs
- Update the duplicated drawing references to the duplicated part studio
- Do a "move tab to other document" including the referenced tab (this ensures that when it gets transferred into the destination document it becomes a microversion reference instead of a version reference)
- Update the drawing to your desired final part references (should only require an elementId as before)
- delete the extra part studio tab
Its a lot of steps, but it works….
Re: AI Assist for PDF management
Yes, of course. But did you consider we're in the age of networks and rather than adding everything to everything time and again, we should aim to connect things, so we could use resources more sustainably and targeted by just giving them access to the data we want to be processed?
So you got that PDF file you want to have translated/converted/explained. The sensible way would be to grant the AI of your choice read access to the document and let it do its magic. I am all for discussing such kind of interface, which would open up ways to let all types of AI interact with all types of data we have, whenever we want to. The right tool for the job at hand. So, for me, this whole thing is not about a PDF manager.
