Re: How do you create a sphere?
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for to create a part with multiple spheres.
Re: How to make sure part property changes made from an assembly BOM stick?
I can think of two ways you can do this;
- I know for a fact you can do this batched via the API, provide the assembly URL and part name mapping, and "some" python code. However, I've never done the python-API coding myself so I can sadly not help in that end.
- Any set of properties can be combined and written within a computed part property featureScript. I.e. if the majority of the parts would combine the part name and description into this new Customer-Facing-Name, that can be achieved in such script that write to the new Customer-Facing-Name property. This I have done loads and can help with if it's of interest.

Re: How to make sure part property changes made from an assembly BOM stick?
From my understanding (and my experience doing the same), changing something in the BOM table only propagates forward if the item in the table both resides in the document, AND is the "main" workspace part/subasm, not a version/revision.
I've never found a quick way to do it. I end up going to the part studio of each part, and changing the properties there.
Re: Bug in line tool?
when you offset a line, the end points are not restricted. (that's why they're blue (underconstrained) rather than black)
so if the position of the end points can move, so can the middle point.
So resticting through dimensions/constraints/helplines the end points is the probable solution, although you could also constrain/dimension the middle line and lenght of the offset line.
e.g. make the end points vertical to the end points of the original line…
