Re: How to 'bend' an extrusion around a curve
I have been working on geometry distortion tools, but alas there's a WoW patch dropping next week so development has really slowed down.
Re: support controlling ratios of sketch dimensions/measures
I created this improvement request a while ago. I think it would help, at least where there are ratios involved:

Re: Repair Faulty Imports
Not sure if this is the kind of thing you're dealing with, but here's one approach I recorded not too long ago
DXF file export in wrong units
However I am now trying to send cutting drawings in dxf format to a different cutter and their software is telling me that my dxf files dimensions are incorrect. If my model has a dimension of 25.4 mm their software is reading this via my dxf file as 1 - ie the dimension is still correct but in the dxf file it has been converted to inches.
I read the ascii text in the dxf file and indeed the units are stated by onshape to be in inches which is incorrect.
Has something changed with how Onshape exports dxf files recently?
Am I write in thinking that Onshape is converting my model dimensions from mm to inches when I export to dxf despite my drawings being in mm?
I saw the post about a workaround involving changing my model dimensions to inches and then saving to dxf. I don't see how this helps as my dxf file will still be in inches.
I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks.
Re: Will we ever be able to getProperties() during regen?
Makes sense. The changes involved would be pretty fundamental, but we've been kicking around some ideas that could change (among other things) how this works. Now, if something comes of it, it's still years out.
Re: How to 'bend' an extrusion around a curve
hahaha I am excited to see what you come up with. I do think there's a lot more power for deformations available with Parasolid, but not exposed yet to FeatureScript.
