Create a sketch and get all intersection curve with all the parts.

CHUNG_MING_CHANG

Dear all,

The CAD process I'm doing now is using "intersection curve" to get all the curves, then create a sketch and project them.

("intersection curve" and project with USE, I can use mouse to select a window.)

I want to create a FS, maybe there is another efficiency way to do this. (The input is a selected Plane)

1. how to create sketch to get all intersection curves
2. how to use for loop with all part.

If there is a similar FS could be a reference, please also provide and I could study it.

Thanks all

Steven

Update: Simplify, using body to do intersect.

FeatureScript 2737;
import(path : "onshape/std/common.fs", version : "2737.0");

annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Section Curves", "Feature Type Description" : "Intersect a plane with all faces" }
export const SectionCurves = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
precondition
{
// Pick Plane
annotation { "Name" : "Cut Plane", "Filter" : EntityType.FACE && GeometryType.PLANE, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
definition.cutPlane is Query;

    // Pick Part, default pick ALL
    annotation { "Name" : "Scope (optional)", "Filter" : EntityType.BODY, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 10 }
    definition.scope is Query;
}
{

    var targetBody =
        (definition.scope != undefined && !isQueryEmpty(context, definition.scope))
        ? qOwnedByBody(definition.scope, EntityType.BODY)   // 指定 Part → 取出所有面
        :qAllModifiableSolidBodiesNoMesh();

    opIntersectFaces(context, id + "intersectFaces1", {
            "tools" : definition.cutPlane,
            "targets" : targetBody
    });


    var PLN1 = evPlane(context, { "face" : definition.cutPlane }); // definition.CutPln is a Query, not a plane
    var sketch1 = newSketchOnPlane(context, id + "sketch1", {
    "sketchPlane" :  PLN1
    }); 

   

    skSolve(sketch1);   
    
    
});

Question:

1. Sketch generated by FS, can't be used in Assembly. Is this fixed or any way to do it?
2. How to project all the curves to sketch?

I debug from GhatGPT, and now it could generate the curves.
Question:

1. two box →8 curves (if I select 2 parts, correct, but default will generate 10 curves, some duplicate)
   1. Curve 1 and Curve 3 are the same
2. How to create sketch with projection these curves?
