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.

Re: Variable Pitch Helix
Well there is a built in wrap tool for sketches now.
But here is Konst's sketch wrapper: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/075755f3a5af3b131044db83/w/1831ce24396a3690795010a3/e/a91b0a601fac14288…
And here is a custom feature that already makes a variable helix by Caden: Variable Helix

Re: DXF / DWG EXPORT UNITS
We would like to have inch since all our other default settings are set to imperial.
Re: Custom Features Collection
This is fantastic, nice work @legandras!
Don't forget to vote on the Feature Store - Improvement Request so that we have a legit place to store our features so that people can easily and naturally find them without having to be a detective.
Here is a list of my public features with descriptions:
fyi, I'm willing to share this sheet for any who whish to also use it for their features. @legandras can manage it! 😁
