Issue with "Measure Value" custom feature

Cedric_Eveleigh

I have a couple of questions.
First, when I search "Measure Value" in the custom feature menu, I get several results (see screenshot below). Why is this? And which result should I use?


Second, using the first Measure Value feature in the list above, when I select an area to determine its perimeter and click the green checkmark, I don't see any distance value results (see screenshots below). Can I determine the perimeter of a face like the one in the screenshot with the Measure Value feature?

the original feature is here -  https://cad.onshape.com/documents/77baa8153589a7fc5f289829/w/cffd0f2a7077380d5378a885/e/d3174bf5315e6aafcb889367

the feature in your part studio looks like it is waiting for regeneration, but if the problem stays - share the link to the document

Ok, it works now, thanks.
For future reference, how could I find the original feature like the one that you linked?

there are no universal way to find original feature source, but most popular of them were collected by @MBartlett21 on his site https://featurescripts.bubbleapps.io/

@cedric_eveleigh392 - there is also a Belt feature that may help you here https://cad.onshape.com/documents/57886eace4b0e425c1ef548a/v/af775c4c67135f453164c9fc/e/c65e445e89ee373617edc394

Oh wow, that's useful.

Onshape community support is awesome.

The Measure Value feature is back to doing what I described in the first post. It's giving me a question mark result. Does anyone have suggestions that could resolve the issue?

@cedric_eveleigh392 please share your doc.

It went back to working - I just had to refresh my browser. It's kind of bizarre that Onshape wasn't prompting me for a browser refresh while this Measure Value feature was dysfunctional and other aspects of my document were functional.

NeilCooke

You should never have to browser refresh so can you share the doc anyway?

Here's a doc with the sketch and Measure Value feature that I had issues with in another doc: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/1acf1553d2c1b6165e9eee1c/w/d551a2d9746f3e809f7e3d54/e/9dce9822b5a35569c3556ce9

Can’t really tell much from that. If it happens again, open the featurescript notices panel (looks like this {!} along the top) and paste any errors here. Also open the browser console (sometimes called developer console found in your browser menus (not part of Onshape)) and paste any errors here. Thanks.

We would be very interested in hearing about this if you reproduce it.  Like Neil says, refreshing the browser should never affect the outcome of the regeneration of a feature.
