FeatureScript Table Output Help

Anthony_Margulis

Hello all,

I am trying to make my first feature script with Onshape, but my lack of experience with coding and the platform is making it difficult. 

I wanted to make a feature which takes all my wire lengths within an assembly and outputs them into a 2 column table with 'Wire Name' and 'Length' as the column names. Before I was doing all this manually but it gets tedious, especially when wire lengths needs to constantly change. 

I tried using the define table function, but failed to produce tables. I am wondering if I need to define a variable or read attributes of the wiring in addition. I added screenshots for the wiring data I'm looking at and the code I started on. Thank you all for the help!!

Try these features instead? https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/18756/updated-custom-feature-cable-wire-routing-2-0/p1

@NeilCookeThe wire routing feature is really nice and we are looking to implement it into our CAD. But it is a bit extensive for some of our projects that are resource constrained. 

The only portion I need currently from the Cable Routing 2.0 is to output the lengths to a custom table. I'll look into the cable routing feature script code

Neil's feature suite is super robust, but before that was available I made a Wire feature which included a table like you're describing. You are welcome to "heavily reference" (i.e. copy/paste) any of my code you find helpful.
