Help with instantiation

Dylan_Tobey

I'm a new FeatureScript user working to develop a custom feature which will allow a user to select a part studio containing one part and bring it into the a new document. However, I've run into some issues with the instantiation module, receiving the error below:

I've already looked at the standard documentation and tried to follow along with this post:

https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/20648/can-featurescript-pull-sketches-from-other-documents

But I haven't had any luck resolving the error on my own. Any chance someone could point out where I'm going wrong?

FeatureScript 2641;
import(path : "onshape/std/common.fs", version : "2641.0");


annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Add thing" }
export const addThing = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
    precondition
    {
        annotation { "Name" : "Mounting mate connector", "Filter" : BodyType.MATE_CONNECTOR, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
        definition.mountingConnector is Query;

        annotation { "Name" : "Choose part to import" }
        definition.partChoice is PartStudioData;
    }
    {

        const instantiator = newInstantiator(id + "inst", {});

        const toPlane = evMateConnector(context, { "mateConnector" : definition.mountingConnector })->plane();

        var toInstantiate = definition.partChoice;

        const instance = addInstance(instantiator, toInstantiate, { "transform" : transform(XY_PLANE, toPlane) });

        instantiate(context, instantiator);
        
        const instantiatedBodies = qCreatedBy(id + "inst", EntityType.BODY);
        const instantiatedFaces = qCreatedBy(id + "inst", EntityType.FACE);


    });

Your code seems to be working fine… https://cad.onshape.com/documents/dfc1499f6151bb475715b537/w/ebf804f2164f2b92444e9890/e/0a5e680b4892d4d039632ffd

Thanks for confirming the code itself was right. I figured out what I was doing wrong:

I was selecting "Part Studio 1" in the image without clicking the "Create version" button, first. Creating the version first resolves the issue and lets me bring in the part.
