Re: Searching the public documents takes FOREVER
Found the issue. Had an extension called clearURLs. no whitelist option so I removed it and it appears to have fixed the issue.

Re: Help to create angled rim around entire shape
I usually use mirror extensively, however for a simple shape like this, a sweep on a square profile is a simpler way to get to the same result:
Re: Custom Feature: Cable/Wire Routing
@S1mon built-in applications for piping, tubing and wiring and their industry-specific workflows are certainly not imminent. It is recommended to use the Routing curve for simple wiring applications and use my features for more complex setups, especially those driven by wiring schematics.
Re: Custom Feature: Cable/Wire Routing
Changelog for release 1.195
⭐ Clip definition and library part creation has been simplified and improved.
⭐ Fixed an issue with minimum bend radius information not being displayed while editing a wire.

Re: Reaction forces
It would be great if we could have calculations similar to those in the SolverEdu beam calculator.
Re: Routing curve & Control point curve - Introduction of two new features for 3D curve creation

Routing curve feedback:
The point on axis drag, is brilliant!
Something I was instinctively trying to do but I didn't see the option, would be to reference the previous node (x, y or z), while moving up to an entity (x, y, or z). For example, if you want to keep the height reference (z) of the previous node, but use the (xy) position of a sketch point or other reference. A workflow for this may look like: Drag the manipulator with the point on axis drag, then select an entity, and it will go in the drag direction, up to the entity.

Re: Help! Challenge: Fretboard Generation
Do you really want to create a feature for this? it could be done with incrementing variables.
@GregBrown explains well in this video how to.
for #i, you could use my increment variable feature as well.
in this case it doesn't make much of a difference, but it would
Re: Help to create angled rim around entire shape
Yes, Jelte is right: In Onshape, as opposed to direct modeling systems, one of the magic things is we can go back in time and change the beginnings of our model, so we don't need to model on top of what we already have.

Re: how to aligne a surface "around" an object
Not totally clear on what you mean, but you might be looking to do a boolean subtract.
