How to do a Feature Script Revolve Remove

Stormi_Backus

Hi All, 

I'm trying to add a specific ASME tooth profile to the original sprocket feature script and running into trouble performing a revolve remove. 

The goal is to revolve the "ToothProfileSketch" around the variable "axis" but I am running into an error related to my axis not having an origin. 

I find this confusing because the same axis worked for the circular pattern used earlier in the code. 

I've included the link below, error seems to start at line 565.

Thank you  in advance for any insight!

The term `axis` is often used ambiguously in FeatureScript code. Generally speaking, an `axis` refers to a unitless, normalized 3D `Vector`, meaning it indicates a general direction. However, `axis` can also be is used as an alias for a `Line`, which is an object which composes an origin and a direction (so it precisely defines an infinite line in 3D space, rather than just an arbitrary direction). As always, the definitive way to determine which one you need is to refer to the documentation.

In your case, given the error message you've described, it seems you're attempting to pass a `Vector` instead of a `Line`.

P.S. - your document doesn't have the correct permissions.
