Help with FS Tutorial

eric_schimelpfenig

Hey all! I'm just jumping into FeatureScript for the first time and I'm working my way through the Onshape tutorial for the slot:

https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/tutorials/create-a-slot-feature.html

I've gotten a few steps into the code and I'm getting this error:



I've tried to figure out what it is, and I can't seem to get my head around to it. I'm very new to any kind of programming so it's likely something obvious.

To make sure it wasn't my fault, I copied in the final code at the end of the tutorial and also got the same error so it looks like something isn't right with the tutorial itself.

Could anyone help this rookie out?

The slot path needs to be a sketch edge, not any other edge.
The filter for the slotPath parameter should be EntityType.EDGE && SketchObject.YES to clarify that it needs to be a sketch edge and prevent the user from selecting any other edge.
I think the next tutorial (Adding geometry to the slot) does some more about the filters.

Everything looks good to me. Make sure when you double-click your feature in the Part Studio select a slot path, there is a sketch edge selected.

If you make the document public and post a link here, it will be easy to diagnose exactly what's happening.

That did it! I guess that tutorial hasn't been updated in a while. I'm going to continue ahead with the rest of it and see if I can build a sketch... 

THANK YOU!
