Re: Picking co-ordinates from sketch to dump to csv file
@eric_pesty , exactly what I needed! Thanks.
Re: New FeatureScript: Plastic Threads
@daniel_melameth Thank you! I'm glad it worked out of the box, that was the goal all along.
@kenn_sebesta167 You're very right and I did fix that in the latest version (1.5 patch 2) because I removed that message all together. Now you are given the option to view the pitch, TPI, and minimum layer thickness in the feature dialog. Just right click on the feature in the drop down, when you are in a part studio, and click update to get the latest release version.
The message system is quite limited and also limiting in terms of what you can do, so I switched it to an on edit driven parameter, which actually turned out to be way harder than I had anticipated, but it was fun figuring it out nonetheless. You can see the patch notes for that update in my comment just above. I also released a couple of patches to either fix issues or improve the user experience. One of which was making the Basic/Custom/Advanced tabs, as well as the thread profile and pitch/tpi input, remember your last choice so you can use the feature over and over without having to set up the threads again and again.
Thank you for using the feature even after having discovered the worst bug possible.
Re: Picking co-ordinates from sketch to dump to csv file
I've use the "points to table" FS a few times for similar workflows, but only for a small number of items:

Re: Custom Features Collection
I've been compiling a list on a Notion page:

Re: Picking co-ordinates from sketch to dump to csv file
I can imagine a lot of ways this might be done, and especially for the hint you gave us "extract all the co-ordinate X,Y pairs from points along a curve"
I am assuming you want to sample that edge (or curve) and extract those coordinates at the sampled points.
Here is a simple implementation that works for sketch entities as well as 3D curves. Coordinates returned are x,y,z.

New Custom Feature: Heal All
Applies Delete Face to all interior and/or perimeter voids. Excellent when working with imported parts.
Just finished writing, let me know if you have issues.

Re: No healthy moment found (>50)
I've not once found it to work for me either, and put in a helpdesk request about it.
What I've done before (and still do), is open a second browser window at a prior version and put them side by side on the screen. Then I can go feature by feature in both windows to fix things, as needed.
