Re: Sliding Ball Mate?

dynamically flexing parts are not available indeed so your work around makes sense. if you can make the end of the tube straight, you could use a cylindrical or sliding mate there depending on the Degrees of Freedom you want to allow. then apply a linear relation.

here's an example:

Feel free to copy the document. add the assembly as a sub- to your main-. then edit in context to change the routing curve.

some tricks:
-the first and last point have a derivative as well as a second point right behind it to make it straight locally.

-I used a variable studio so you can set the bowden-slide-lenght in one go for both the part studio as well as the assembly (it sets the limits there)
-Couldn't help myself and made it fully configurable in v3

Re: Right mouse buton - Drag to rotate the view won't release!

Are you using Chrome?

I have noticed that when using Chrome, if you hold the right mouse button and move the cursor off the browser viewport, the button function gets stuck and only releases if you click the right button again. It is a Chrome bug I have seen with other browser apps, but only in Chrome. Firefox seems to work correctly.

Re: I need a little help

Also, no such keywords as LengthParameter, IntegerParameter, VectorParameter

Use the code snippets in the menu at the top of the Feature Studio for the correct syntax,

Re: I need a little help

Looks like ChatGPT to me - don't trust it.

Should be:

export const GridGenerator = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map) {

Re: Link Sharing, View Only, PDFs

My understanding is that due to security issues with PDF viewers, this was disabled.
