Is it possible to export numbers from a FeatureScript?

timo_schmid

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to calculate a couple of values (e.g. distances) with a FeatureScript and then export them (to a type of file such as .csv, googleSheets, .txt)
Is this possible?
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
Timo

No, you can only print to the FeatureScript console. You would have to copy and paste from there.

Thanks for you answer @NeilCooke .
Do you know if it would be possible to do such a task with the API instead?
Cheers,

I'm not an API guy, but I imagine it may be

Using the Evaluate FeatureScript API, this his definitely possible.

For more information, go to https://dev-portal.onshape.com/help, click "feature list API", and search "Feature Script Evaluation" or "Evaluate FeatureScript".

You can do this one of two ways:

1. Use a custom feature to call setVariable() to store the value. Then, use Evaluate FeatureScript API to call getVariable and get the value. This is the simpler route if you need a custom feature with user inputs in order to compute your value.
   
   
2. Use Evaluate FeatureScript API with an FS function which does the entire FeatureScript computation. The is the simpler route if the computation is generic, since there's no need to insert any custom feature into your models
