Chess anyone?
Just had a game of chess with Jon. Of course he kicked my butt but it was fun and identified some enhancement requests.
Anyhow set up a branch copy and have a live game with someone, it works great.

Re: Help with loft tool
Loft guides are what you need. You may not even need to move the circle out a bit. Here's a simple example with loft guide (shown orange), where the "shoulder circle" is exactly in line with the "arm cylinder" and it still works.

Re: Discrpencies in documentation related to using acos, atan and other trignometric functions

If you really need the number of degrees represented by your angle you can do something like the following:
But like Ilya said, you really only need to do this if you are trying to print output to the user. Otherwise, you can just leave it as it's ValueWithUnits (angle) representation, and it will remain useful for math, trig function, and input into Onshape operations.

Re: Exporting Auto Layout
I usually make a drawing. Custom template, custom sheet size. Insert the entire Part Studio. Then export the drawing for laser cutting.
Re: Can export file locations be specified?
The export is really just a download so the location is going to be dictated by your browser settings. You should be able to change download settings to "always specify" or something like this (and it should remember the "last used")...
