FS- Using mate connector as a plane for a sketch

ben_partouch

Hi,

Can anyone please help with this? I know it's super basic. Yet I can't figure out the right code...

Thanks,

I think you’ll want to use evPlane on the mate connector: https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/library.html#evPlane-Context-map

It returns a plane that you can then use in the new sketch.

Thanks Tim!

It does't fail like before but I can't manage to see the sketch entity.

var sketchPlane = evPlane(context, {

                "face" : definition.location (the make connector)

            });

        var sketch1 = newSketch(context, id + "sketch1", {

                "sketchPlane" : qCreatedBy(makeId("face"), EntityType.FACE)

            });

        // Create sketch entities here

        skCircle(sketch1, "circle1", {

                    "center" : vector(0, 0) * inch,

                    "radius" : definition.holeSize * 2

                });

        skSolve(sketch1);

I think I got it. Thank you @TimRice

Always use newSketchOnPlane.
