Triangular error icon in custom feature that is running correctly
Hey there,
I've written a custom feature to rename bodies. The feature is working as intended, but often (sadly, not always) when I change features above this feature in the feature, I get this icon:
The feature is still processing data correctly - the correct bodies are being assigned the correct names, the correct strings in body names are being replaced, etc. There are no notices Featurescript notices that give me an indication of what's going wrong.
The code for the feature is located here. As best I can tell, the feature 'thinks' some queries are incorrect (even though they're working correctly). I can clear the error out by triggering editing logic - so I'm willing to bet that the issue stems from there.
Any insight into this error and ways to resolve it would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!

Re: Triangular error icon in custom feature that is running correctly
My guess is that the query you assign in editing logic is not robust.
But I'm not able to replicate the error with your code.
What steps are you taking to cause this?

Hey Caden,
I get this error when I use a new .csv import file for a new design/size. I'll share a document with you that's configured. You can trigger the error by switching the configuration (which in turn starts with a new size/csv file).
Thanks!

Incredible and weird, @Matt_Shields ! Your suggestion really worked. Thank you!!!
Mac Usability feedback for Onshape and General Cad work
Thought I would ask the community who uses Mac how they find using Mac for Onshape and Cad in general like Autocad/Bricscad etc.
Reason for asking is I'm hearing impaired with bilateral implants using the latest N8 processors from Cochlear. I use Iphones and Ipads that have "MFI" (Made for Iphone) audio connectivity to directly stream audio to my implants. Laptops/computers have always needed a 3rd party device with the audio jack, no direct wireless streaming cababilitys supported from the operating systems (both Windows and Mac).
This however looks like it may have changed with the new Mac Os Sequoia release. I will go to the apple store and try in person. If this streams audio as flawlessly as my iphone, I'll likely convert to Mac as laptops are the last wireless audio hurdle for me. Especially with the use of Zoom these days.
That being said I'm a long time windows user, never used Mac OS. The main software I use are and if any of you have feedback on any differences being used with a Mac?
Onshape (browser based so don't see any change there)
3d connection spacemouse bluetooth
Bricscad Ultimate for cleaning up DXF files prior to sending to laser cutter (they have a Mac version)
Google Drive for Desktop for cloud sync of files and shearing with team members
Google Chrome web browser
Microsoft outlook for Emails (the "new outlook version")
whatsapp for Desktop
USBC Dual screen
Other than the above software I don't need anything else. Mac users how do you find using Mac Os everyday as your main Cad machine and any feedback or points I should look out for.
Have heard of an October release for apple and may have M4 Macbook pro, will likely wait and see what drops before buying a new laptop.
Thanks
Re: Group sketch entities similar to assembly group?
Turn it into a flat surface and you can transform and scale it as much as you want. Then you can just select the face and extrude it or sketch on it to modify it further.
