Re: derived feature in part studio, hiding derived sketches

@jochen333

I just verified that it works for me in Chrome -- In https://cad.onshape.com/documents/cf8032037924e2bd1f5b2c29/w/7174fe1c36a67fc9ef551e02/e/330247424a999e19ff8e4701
When you hover over the "derived" feature an eye appears next to it that hides the mate connector.

If this is not working for you, please file a support ticket -- it may be a browser problem or a strange case we're not handling (or I may have misunderstood what you mean by "mate connector related problem".

Re: Custom Feature: Non-uniform patterns by csv input

GPT and others will hallucinate a bit with FeatureScript. For example there is no "UIHint.Multiline". It made that up. The Onshape AI advisor is useful for asking specific how-to questions about FS even if it can't write the whole thing for you.

As for your intent of creating mate connectors to pattern to, you could just have the feature do the patterning itself and skip the mate connectors altogether. Here's the general logical approach that comes to mind for me.

Import CSV with a reference parameter in the precondition (UI area). It will look like this annotation { "Name" : "CSV file" } definition.myCsvFile is TableData;
process the table in a for loop. For each row do the following:
1. figure out the vector representing X rotated by theta. your code above does this already with xDir.
2. create a coordinate system using coordSystem(). at the xyz coordinates, and use the vector from above as the xAxis.
3. optionally if you want mate connectors at these locations, use opMateConnector with the coordinate system as input. or go ahead and use some combination of fromWorld() and toWorld() to create a transform from an input coordinate system to the new ones.
if patterning the parts in this feature, use opPattern().
