Hole Feature update, issues with tapped hole diameters
Why does the new hole feature have weird numbers for (at least) metric tap drill sizes? Also, who would want it to default to fine thread?
Re: Get a Vector from an Edge
You’ll need to look at the help/tutorials a bit to get the fundamentals. ChatGPT clearly does not understand the difference between queries and evaluation, amongst other hallucinations it’s having.
Evaluate is what you need to do to a query that refers to an entity like an edge.
Check out evEdgeTangentLine in the docs….

Re: Show hidden parts
@Roberto_Verduci
To expand on what @S1monsaid, keep in mind the "transparent" (shift+T) is the inverse of isolate already so if you only want a couple of parts to hide you can use this.
Another useful thing is the Y and shift+Y command:
Y hides the part under the cursor (and you can keep hitting it), while shift+Y shows hidden parts that are under the cursor.
If you know where the hidden part is you can put your mouse in the area and hit shift+Y until it shows up (you may end up unhiding others as well) but it might be a better option than "show all".
